How can we improve Proton Mail or Calendar?

← Proton Mail & Calendar

Shared inbox

Non-personal, shared (aka functional) mailboxes are commonplace in businesses - a central mailbox for a particular purpose accessible by multiple users. A similar need is also common for personal use (e.g. each spouse has their own personal mailbox, but also have a shared address for things like bills or school notifications)

1) Best option would be to allow an address to be created and assigned to multiple users within a ProtonMail Organization. That avoids forwarding of emails and also avoids having to log out of one ProtonMail user and then log into another user in order to check the shared addresses.

2) A potentially easier alternative would be to allow simultaneous login to multiple users via the Protonmail client. Thus you could login to each user account once and easily toggle between personal vs. shared mailboxes.

3) In the meantime, could you at least add an additional Action to the Filtering function that would allow you to auto-forward an incoming email if it met the defined conditions. This is not ideal as it essentially duplicates the data and the "other" user won't have replies in their Sent folder, etc. It's messy but better than nothing.

Thanks

    This feature would be very useful. If you have a team who should receive a certain set of emails, this would be a great way to make sure they can both send and receive emails from this one 'alias'/address. I could see this also being useful for couples who want certain emails to go to both members as well.

    This is a really urgent feature request. Can we please have this soon!!

  • Menno commented  ·   ·  Report

    As a family with young kids we really need this feature since we would like to have an email address that school and other organizations use to contact both parents.

    Very surprised this isn't implemented yet???

  • Juan Carlos Farah commented  ·   ·  Report

    I upvoted this. Needed for our non-profit organisation. Are there other similar feature requests with more votes?

    There should be a way to designate specific email addresses to be accessible by multiple users/accounts in an organization. ie. all designated users would receive emails sent to the group address and all users could send emails from the group address.

    Yes please, in our small business we have indeed both personal addresses and a general address (connected to catch all) and I cannot seem to use Protonmail because of this

  • Angela Kantjas commented  ·   ·  Report

    I really would like to see this feature. I have a small business, and it would save so much work to be able to have our general contact email be shared by multiple users!

    This is urgently needed. It would represent a major usability improvement for business use. Businesses use protonmail for security but it needs to be highly practical as well.

    I upvoted this and the two others for the same feature. Hopefully one of them will get some attention.
