For those who don’t know, shift+F10 to bring up a command prompt when using a windows install image. Can do it when it starts asking you for stuff. I know the chkdsk tools and manage-bde (the bitlocker cli) are avaliable there at least.
Clients like Thunderbird are great because you have everything stored locally so you can easily search offline. They also support encrypting and decrypting emails in PGP. However, they seem to have the same limitation as protonmail where you can’t search through encrypted emails....
