  1. "Keep me logged in" option

    I really like ProtonMail and use it as my primary mailing service. But one of the most tedious things about it is having to enter the two passwords every time i want to check my e-mail.

    ProtonMail keeps logging me out after a few seconds/minutes of closing its tab, so i now have to keep a tab open in order to continuously check my e-mail. Furthermore, i'm using long passwords (in conjunction with Keepass) for more security, so it's not easy to type my passwords every few minutes.

    I use ProtonMail on my desktop home computer, so there's no danger…

  2. Mobile app for Jolla's Sailfish OS

    Hi,

    Protonmail is a great service, but protecting your emails is still not enough to guarantee privacy. Considering that Google openly admits it is capitalizing on all the data stored in our Android devices, and that Apple or BlackBerry simply do not communicate on the data that they collect, protecting our privacy will require more than encrypted emails.

    A new smartphone software company focused on software has been launched by former Nokia employees: Jolla (http://jolla.com/). It is focused on data privacy, and wishes to become an alternative to Android. It has already shipped a smartphone and a tablet.

  4. Allow the user to choose whether an e-mail is sent to the sent folder during e-mail composition.

    Allow the user to choose whether an e-mail is sent to the sent folder. Some people prefer to save only certain e-mails, not all. For these users one has to find these e-mails and delete them. This becomes tedious when one could simply select not to have the e-mail saved in a Sent folder.

    Pure text can be nice too (and is smaller and more secure than HTML). Please support format=flowed.

  6. Increase number of labels allowed

    I have hit my limit for labels at 20. That seems like a rather small number to me. Could ProtonMail increase that number?

  9. Encryption of all metadata

    If Protonmail is to be serious about privacy, I don't understand why all metadata isn't kept solely in encrypted form. I just signed up for Scryptmail and any data is kept in encrypted form, unreadable for any third party.

    I don't see why it would be necessary to keep for instance the senders or subject titles in encrypted form when Protonmail doesn't support POP3 or IMAP.

    The problem is that otherwise e-mail is inherently insecure, because if for instance a governmental entity wants to see your account, while they won't have access to the content of your e-mails, they can…

    We have given this quite a bit of thought, but at the present moment, it is not clear the advantages would outweigh the disadvantages.

    The biggest problem is search. Encrypting all metadata would break metadata search entirely on the web client as there is still no efficient way to handle search of encrypted data within a browser.

    Secondly, metadata encryption’s value from a privacy standpoint is also somewhat dubious. Because we ultimately must deliver the message to the recipient, we must know who the recipient is. At the current time, there still isn’t any proven and viable way to work around this.

    Metadata encryption is an area of continued research for us, and when the opportunity arises and the technology for doing this matures, we will definitely implement it in ProtonMail.

  10. Able to add notes to the indiviual email

    Most of times we had emails from other people where subject is not clear and sometimes we need to add extra notes to make it understandable or remind us for something. Microsoft Outlook has the ability to add notes but none of online clients be it Gmail, yahoo or Outlook ahs an ability to add personal notes to individual emails. I would love to add notes to the emails especially when both the email and notes will be secure.

  11. Quoting options: Bottom, top, quote character

    There aren't any quoting options for the compose editor yet. It just does arguably the worst thing, top-quoting while indenting any previous message(s).

    Options that would be nice are:

    • Which quote character to use (default >)
    • Where to quote original messages (top or bottom)

    this email service is encrypted but they are still being stored on a server. I would like an option to purge some or all email from the server when needed/desired.

  14. Mail redirection function (NOT the same as forwarding)

    A mail REDIRECTION function should be made available in addition to the existing FORWARDING function in Proton Mail web mail. The mail redirect function has been available on common web mail front end UIs such as the HORDE web mail system popular with many regular ISP which provide web mail interface to their mail servers. Redirect is NOT the same as forwarding because redirect is as if the mail arrived at an e-mail address which is just a forwarder address and continues send the e-mail on to its final destination. This would allow PM users to redirect any e-mails they…

  15. Allow users to customize the Encrypted Proton Mail message to Non-Proton Mail users.

    Non-Proton Mail users often discard or delete new encrypted messages, because they may sometimes appear as spam.

    Especially Non-English speaking Non-ProtonMail users.

    It would be better if one could just write down something like:

    "Hi, Mike! This is my new email address. I have sent you an encrypted email, just click on the link below and type in the password to open it. This is the password hint: ...text..."

  16. Multiple Signatures

    We really need the ability to have multiple different signatures that we can swap out, instead of having to re-write one every time we want to send an email to a different group. For instance, regs require me to have a certain format for my signature. However I do not want to be using the same signature for just everyday email. I also do not want to have to make an entire new account.

  18. Reminder to encrypt mail to non protonmail users

    Sometimes when sending email to non protonmail users, you forget to encrypt them. Especially when you end up having a conversation with many replies, if you type a quick response it's very easy to forget to set the encryption password for outside users.

    It would be very useful to have a setting to alert me if I'm trying to send an outside mail without encryption, similar to what happens if you forget to type the recipient, or a title. It could be for all outside mail, or just for the case when you are replying to a conversation that started…

  19. Select multiple contacts for messaging, deletion

    Put a checkbox beside each contact to allow multiple selection of contacts for sending them the same message, or for deleting several contacts at once. Multiple editing of contacts could be nice but might not be possible.
