<p>Hello AD,</p>
<p>The KDE store uses Pling by opendesktop.org, which means they
control how accounts are managed and not by KDE directly.</p>
<p>According to a forum post [1], most free email providers were
blocked due to spam. You may be able to contact them directly
(<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:contact@opendesktop.org">contact@opendesktop.org</a>) and polity ask for an account using your
Proton address.</p>
<p>Regards,</p>
<p>Ben</p>

I learn that KDE store does not accept GMAIL nor PROTON mail
