  1. Support HTML5 web notifications for incoming emails

    Some services like Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp Web, Skype and others send standardised HTML5 web notifications when new messages arrive. Chrome, Firefox and Safari have been supporting this for quite some time. The notifications happen locally and only as long as website is opened (e.g. in a tab) and the user is logged in. ProtonMail should support it too so that users are notified when new emails have arrived.

  2. PLease supply am simple Home page without an Inbox distraction, show mountain only.

    Please show a more simplified Home Page, no Inbox or invitation. A mountain with a strong Key as a symbol would look great. Present page being received here in NZ shows a part of an Inbox and busy distracting page which comes across as unprofessional...

  3. Gracefully handle plain text emails following conventions

    There are lots of popular email clients/front-ends out there (eg Thunderbird, Sylpheed and even gmail) that follow a time-tested set of conventions for handling plain text mail.

    Protonmail currently doesn't follow many of those conventions.

    One example. When you reply to a message, the original message should be be block quoted with angle brackets and prefixed with a little header like this:

    On <date>, <email_from_field> wrote:

    Quoted line 1. Something something.
    On line 2 I say something about something.

    Plain text emails should be a first class citizen in ProtonMail!

  4. Removing accounts after some time of inactivity and Recycling usernames are bad ideas.

    Email is not only a communication tool, but probably more importantly an internet identity. People use their email to open accounts on websites. If an email address is deleted and reused by another user, then all personal data bonded with that email address is lost and at risk.
    As I know gmail doesn't recycle email addresses. That's a considerate idea.

  5. Show me the last time I logged in.

    It is always good to know if you really are the only one person who uses the login. Keyloggers etc. make it possible to hack your account.

  6. Aliases like GMAIL

    Hello,
    What about improve the aliases system?
    If you see on gmail you can use username+everythingyouwant@gmail.com and you keep receive them.
    This can be useful for who like me need to register multiple accounts with same email.

  7. Bridge Desktop App

    I know that Protonmail can't integrate with existing desktop mail apps, such as Apple Mail our Outlook, because of the extra passwords. However, I'm not a fan of having to access Protonmail through my browser. Is it possible to build a desktop app with similar functionality to Apple Mail our Outlook (minus the extras, such as calendar integration etc... although that would be nice too)? If you guys build an iphone app, for example, then I don't see it as a huge step to move on to a Mac OS app after that.

  8. Download all mail and attachments

    The ability to download all mail and attachments associated with a PM account. This would be useful for keeping mail even after the 1 GB limit is reached -- it could be deleted from PM's servers after it is downloaded to a local disk. Once downloaded, security (encryption) would be the responsibility of the owner.

  10. Limit the number of chances a non (Non-Protonmail) User to enter the password !

    One of my friends told me about proton mail and sent me an encrypted email, so i got a link and then went on to the log in page and found out that my friend forgot to send me the password. Well i texted him and in the mean time the password hint said 6 digits so i wrote a simple brute force program and opened the mail. Simply because you guys forgot to limit the number of times a user can enter the password :)

  11. Contact Groups

    We need to be able to group contacts, with the option to send mail to specific groups. The ability to add a group to the TO: field is a must as well, there is no way to add multiple contacts at the moment. This is a necessary feature that I have seen in every email service I have used.

    Completed  ·  AdminProton (Community Team, Proton) responded

    Accounts created before January 1, 2016 have both protonmail.com and protonmail.ch addresses. You can change between the two in the settings of your account. You can create a new account with protonmail.com domain when you originally create your account by selecting that domain from the drop down menu.

  14. ProtonVPN

    It would be GREAT if the Proton team could also provide a pay for global VPN service.

    I am sure plenty of folks would help crowdfund and contribute to the Proton team create a VPN offering HQ in Switzerland.

  16. No Recycling Username: The privacy of the user must be protected all the time! Forever!

    I think that it's very important that a username can't be recycled after some time that is not used.

    For example:

    • outlook after 1 year recycle and reassingn the username
    • yahoo after 6 month recycle username and reassign it to a new user

    I think that is very important protect the privacy of the people, and recycling username is a risky practice.

    Yahoo in past has created a privacy concerns for the practice of recycling username of email address that are not used.

    Read this and you will understand:

  18. Need to be able to see if someone else is login in to my account. Last login.

    There should be a last login in feature so I can see if someone else has logged in to my proton account which I believe has happened.

  19. keep it simple

    Please keep Proton mail a simple mail client. Maybe with folders and stars. But not like a hundred different inboxes and auto categories and crap. Gmail really jumped the shark recently and made it super hard to keep track of any email.

    KISS
    keep it simple, silly :)

  20. Show Display Name in Front of the Email Adress, not the Username

    You can change your Display Name, but it won't show in the Emails of the Web Interface. In front of the Email Adress is always the username. I think it would be awesome if this would be changed.
