Very much expected also by my side.

Right! Now flirting with Startmail....

Fastmail has this also! Please add this in.

I gots the plus sign rejected by website all the times. So frustrating.

LUH3417,

Their silence is statement enough.

Interested in starting a GoFundMe campaign to get their attention?

Is this is being ignored?

Too hard basket?

Or a case of "ït's the users fault; they just don't understand and hopefully they'll give-up and go away"?

In the same position as the previous two posters. I'm a graduate student and 90% of my mail is handled through my university account, which is simply a forwarding alias. The inability to send from that alias is all that keeps me from using ProtonMail as my primary provider.

There are a number of threads devoted to the subject - it would be great if we could somehow consolidate the suggestions and votes.

The use of the "+" sign in the alias fails with so many services. It's useless.

FAIL!

Protonas, evidently something you can't ignore anymore.

I have tried every email provider and non of them have what i need. I always go back to Yahoo mail for their one simple feature that stands out - easily Create Up to 500 DISPOSABLE email extensions.
Unfortunately Yahoo mail is no longer Private and email page is almost never SSL secured and i worry about sensitive work emails being leaked.

WHAT IS Disposable Email ?
Say my main email address is yahoouser@yahoo.com, i can add yahoouser01-_____@yahoo.com (any name in the middle) extention email which is safely deletable anytime.

HOW?
Its VERY EASY. on your yahoo email account, Open Setting then on security tab you can add up to 500 disposable email extensions in one easy step.

SO WHATS THE ADVANTAGE?

1- No-one will know your primary email address.

2- You can create disposable emails for each time you open an account somewhere and delete and email address when you close an account or start to get spammed.

3- if you opened an ebay account you can create yahoouser-ebay1@yahoo.com disposable email. which helps to track who sent the email address and who's spamming you with ads and who shared your [no marketing tick boxed] email address which you can sue / lawsuit against.

4. Less chance to close and open a completely new email account after being bombarded with spams and adverts.

5. Easier to filter and organise to folders with the disposable email

6. Easier to work password managers, rather than all accounts sharing the same email address

Thats it..
NOTE :- yahoo allows up t0 500 disposable emails. I currently have 120 disposable emails each uniquely linked with each registrations, accounts, friends and contacts. and NO-ONE knows my primary email address. BUT until recent privacy changes with the right tool and resources you can obtain the primary address.

This is one of the features that would make protonmail even greater than it already is! 3 votes from me.

As someone else mentioned, I'm also stuck halfway at the current moment from switching fully to ProtonMail. Mainly due to the lack of functionality of as send as or alias feature that allows external SMTP servers to be utilized to send mail.

What would be really good is if you guys created a feature like Google did with Gmail, where you enter the address and it requires verification, as well as SMTP authentication.

Currently, my email setup consists of ProtonMail as a primary, and Gmail with my personal domains and work email forwarded it to it, with the "send mail as" setup with those other email services so that I can send email. My Gmail is basically just a box for my email, with me not actually using the Gmail address at all. I really wish I could take the Google part out of it entirely because ProtonMail is better.

Trond, the services I have seen that offer this function, such as Blur, do not recycle the email aliases. They are created using random characters, such as pc34bch8@tda.protonmail.com. Using random characters can create innumerable aliases. You would not need to delete every single alias you create. One could be used at a number of similar, less trustworthy web sites to register. Only when you feel you are receiving spam forwarded through that alias, then you would want to delete it. You could utilize a particular disposable alias for a long time without needing to delete it.

But, this suggestion for disposable aliases is because Protonmail initially offered a very limited number of aliases slots to use. And once those have been created and/or deleted, they greatly limit creation of new ones. The number of active aliases does not have to be unlimited. Maybe it would be limited to 10 or so. What would be unlimited is the ability to replace an alias with a new one, if the need arises. And Protonmail could place some limitations there to prevent abuse. Such as only 3 or 5 alias replacements per month.

Someone earlier, addressed the possibility of abuse of a disposable alias. The suggestion is for it to be unlimited but not in the sense of being able to use hundreds without any controls in place. The idea is to allow only a limited number of active aliases at one time. But, with the difference being, that once you delete an alias, you are able to replace it. Abuse can be contained because if spam is reported to Protonmail, they either issue a warning, or disable the account immediately. Protonmail does not need to be able to view your email activities to find out about abuses. Often spam abuses are reported to the owner of the domain, with the offending email address/alias named.

Thinking about it, i don't think they should be disposable. What if user A use abc@tdn.protonmail.com to register on example.com, then user B comes along and register the same disposable address. User B will then possibly receive private information from example.com that was meant for user A (and C, D, E, F, G....), he may even reset the password and will be able to do everything that User A would for his account on example.com. That can very potentially be a huge privacy nightmare.

I like this idea very much! Just as you would never use the same password on two different websites you could start NOT using the same email-address on two different websites as well. That would not only defeat snoopers from linking accounts, give the user increased privacy, lessen the spam, but also give increased security! We often use the same email address to register everywhere, that email address is often our single point of failure. By using different email addresses every time you register somewhere it would lessen the chance that a attacker will be able to access anything else, even if the user happened to use the same password everywhere.

This seems like a pointless feature to offer. If you don't want to give out your personal email, you make a separate one strictly for the purpose of knowing you'll be spammed. If you're so worried about your virtual trail, use a high quality VPN alongside an encrypted email service. No one can truly be anonymous online when actively sending details over to someone else. It's the very interaction that puts you at risk. Unless you know how to use pgp code for every single interaction you have online, something like a disposable email is not going to help you.

The only thing I see about this post is, "I'd like the spam the hell out of people... can Protonmail help me out?"

Disposable email addresses would be a welcome addition and give PM users more for their money, since these addresses are just aliases, which would not be billed as additional users.

I have used Blur/Abine for disposable email addresses, largely for providing to the growing number of websites taking a more subtle approach to building the All Powerful Email List, but also for subscribing to newsletters to get the initial discount coupon, or signing up for a second or third free trial if I was not able to make full use of the first (this works well with Blur's Masked Credit Card feature, but I'll limit the scope here to disposable email aliases).

After a few years, someone at an email validation service wised up and added the domain name of the disposable aliases to its blacklist (not related to SPAM, just a blacklist for emails an indiscriminate marketer would not want in his email collection), so websites that subscribe to email validation services will return an error or simply repeat its request for a valid email. Blur has handled this by introducing new domains, which seems like the best, if not only solution, and not just because it costs Blur a mere 8-9 USD per year.

The subdomain.protonmail.com is a good idea. If a subdomain gets blacklisted, a different subdomain can be created. Blacklisting protonmail.com would be foolish, since it's only a matter of time before everyone has a PM address. ;)

Yeah needed.
- and send from any alias
- unlimited
- and fix + sign
- and be able to delete it when it becomes a source of spam.

should be good then

FOR THE LOVE OF MOTHER MARY; f i x t h e '+' c h a r a c t e r to s o m e t h i n g else!.

So many sites and services, s o m a n y, refuse to accept it as a legitimate email address.

And besides, as a commenter below has pointed out the current way its done exposes your underlying email address as soon as you have to reply or even send to that contact.

A blacklist or cut-off of an alias should also be part of this feature.

I need these features desperately. What's to be done? Should we start a gofundme or kickstarter campaign to get your attention? I'll start an offer of USD $500 for these alias requirements ONLY. Anyone else? I don't care about calendars, folders, shells or shiny trinketts. Just a useful and functional alias system.

please, please, PLEASE.

P.S. No, not interested in my own domain for various reasons. I need a one stop shop for email and at the moment you're it (but not delivering). Tutanota did for awhile, but they too didn't listen.
