Rather than asking us, consider asking the people in charge at Proton AG, and then letting us know what they say.
I think I saw that Proton said in 2020 that the Proton Mail app would come to F-Droid. Sadly I cannot find that information any more. I thought about deleting my Proton mail account today but before doing so ask here about the state of a possible F-Droid app. Yes, I could ask the Proton people, and could also ask the F-Droid forum people but Lemmy feels most comfortable right now.
But it is already on the IzzyOnDroid repo. And you can also just install from their github directly.
IzzyOnDroid and direct install will install the Proton mail app with Google push notifications. With the main F-Droid repository the maintainers will check the source code. The small team of Tutanota mail app did away with Google in 2018 https://f-droid.org/2018/09/03/replacing-gcm-in-tutanota.html And as far as I know Signal messenger app is available without Google push but using websockets.
Huh? Why not use K-9 or Fair Email?
They're both excellent email clients.
Yes. But Proton wants users to pay for their bridge to use IMAP with Thunderbird. Not sure if their bridge works with K9-mail and FairEmail.
They're in the middle of a rollout of a rewrite and have promised to publish the source soon.
