New email address

I lost my email address I has through a cable company and joined proton email. When I tried to change my email address/ roku would not accept it, saying that the account belonged to another account. I tried my daughter's email address with proton and go the same message. Does anyone one know why roku will not accept proton email addresses?

    Hey there, Stardreamer333​ 

    We understand that you tried updating your email address to a proton.me account, but it didn’t go through. To help ensure the security and privacy of all Roku customers, Roku no longer supports proton.me email addresses. 

    We suggest using or creating a different email domain to proceed. 

    Let us know if you need more info.

      That makes no sense at all. They are more secure than the cable email address I had that has been sold  many times over the 15 years I had it on the dark web . They literally encrypted their emails that people complain it is too well done. The security is the whole point. Is it the spam issue, in that they are not a fan? 

      Idk, maybe it is time to move on from roku too. I had you guys forever even though I have smart tv. I was just used to you, but if I need to redo a whole new email just to make you happy, maybe I have out grown you.
