Proton Mail, would it avoid a situation such as this?
A client of ours sent us an etransfer the other day for $4k as a deposit for materials. The transfer never went to our inbox like normal and instead got intercepted and deposited by someone to another bank. I had to show my client our banking statement to prove to them we never accepted the payment, let alone even received an etransfer notification.
Our client called the fraud department and they verified that it did indeed get deposited to another bank by someone with a different name that they’re not allowed to mention lol.
This is a first for us, but looking to avoid any future issues, so wondering if Proton might help?

Do you have auto deposit setup?
No, we’ve always required a password, but learning now auto deposit is the way to go?
Multiple things... I've never liked etransfers as evrythibg transmits in plain text.
Emails - did it get intercepted at your end? Or thiers? Assume your emails are being intercepted especially if it is your own domain and email server. So investigate this further with someone that knows how to.
Auto deposit - yes I think this could help as then only a confirmation email is sent.
Forwarders - make sure your emails aren't being forwarded somewhere else.
Proton - yes can be helpful they do have a nice service.
Banking. - I would create a separate email just for the banking and use it for nothing else, and then ch age your bank email info to that one and setup auto deposit.
I'd say Proton can only be a temporary band aid at best
