allow particular selected folders to be excluded from "All mail" (so that "All mail" does not show excluded-folders, spam & trash)
Problem: I automatically sort mail into folders, but then I can't see what I've newly received in Inbox because the pre-sorted mail does not appear in Inbox -- so I'm forced to use "All mail" to have an overview of new mail. But that will include massive amounts of clutter I don't need to see. It would be helpful to use "All mail" and then specify specific folders that I want to exclude so that I can get an overview of my new mail without important mail being swamped by unimportant mail.

Hide Snooze Count Option
I would love the option to hide the snoozed email account. Visually, it reads as a nudge, as "unread" - because it looks almost the same as an unread count on the web browser. I'm sure some folks love this, so I don't want to take it away, but I snooze things so I don't have to think about them until the specific date I set... so getting the constant nudge defeats the purpose of clearing my actualy brain memory cache :)
I have another snooze related feature, but I'll list it separately - I'd like to label and move folders AND maintain snooze. (Mentioning it here in case other folks want to check that request out)

Virus Scan for Attachments
Gmail scans attachments in e-mails for viruses and other malware. It would be nice if Proton was able to scan attachments in e-mails for viruses so we don't accidentally download an infected file.

Re Calendar/Booking: Please Offer Phone number instead of solely Email address.
When the Calendar/Booking app is rolled-out please include a phone number option instead of email for those scheduling on the Booking link. Also, with a direct pop-up when a time is scheduled. Note: outside of North America the rest of the world uses Whatsapp the most. Please make everything related to phone use Whatsapp friendly.

Improve Search Output for Mail
One major thing that is missing in the search output is metadata - Showing whole folder path (main folder as well as sub-folders) instead of coloured folder icon; email size, attachment types, etc.
This would greatly improve efficiency for users and enable us to find items at a glance.The best way to achieve that, I believe, is to have user definable "columns" - Similar to desktop Outlook application.

Integrate with lumo
Integrate email with Lumo and let our nice cat run some tagging or filtering for us. How nice would it be to have Lumo looking at us moving few emails to a label or folder and then have it saying: would you like to create a filter for this? or you have a filter for moving x in y, would you like to add this sender to this rule?

Additional Options for Booking Page
Add to booking page:
- Buffer times before and after meetings to avoid back-to-back meetings
- Add maximum number of meetings per day, per week
- Allow adding more people to the appointment
- Ask booker's Time Zone. Currently the email that the person receives has in the subject the time in my time zone, which is not necessarily his/her time zone. This has already confused some of my clients and missed meetings. Even though it was correctly set in their calendar. The subject of the confirmation email has importance.4 votes -
Tasks in Proton Calendar
The Idea
I would love to see Proton Calendar evolve into a unified productivity hub by integrating a native task and project management layer — think the best of Microsoft To Do and Microsoft Planner, but built with the privacy-first DNA that makes Proton what it is.
What I Am Proposing
A task management module embedded directly inside Proton Calendar that allows users to:
Create and assign tasks with due dates, priorities, and labels — visible alongside calendar events in a single, unified view.
Organise tasks into project boards — simple Kanban-style columns (To Do / In Progress / Done) for teams or personal workflows.
Track deadlines and milestones without leaving the calendar environment — no more context-switching between three different tools.
Set recurring tasks and receive reminders that align with existing calendar notifications.
Share task boards with collaborators within the Proton ecosystem, with granular permission controls.
Why This Matters
Right now, managing deadlines across tools is fragmented. Calendar events live in one place, tasks in another, and project milestones in yet another. For professionals managing complex, deadline-driven workflows — such as regulatory compliance cycles, multi-party projects, or recurring reporting obligations — this fragmentation creates real risk: missed deadlines, duplicated effort, and unnecessary context-switching.
Proton already owns the calendar real estate. Tasks are the natural next layer. The combination would make Proton Calendar a serious, privacy-respecting alternative to the Microsoft 365 productivity stack — without surrendering data to advertising-driven ecosystems.

The Ask
This does not need to be a full project management suite on day one. A phased rollout could work well:
Phase 1: Personal tasks with due dates, visible in calendar view.
Phase 2: Task lists / labels and recurring task support.
Phase 3: Shared boards and milestone tracking for teams.
Final Thought
Proton has already proven that privacy and productivity are not mutually exclusive. Adding a robust task layer to Proton Calendar would be the next logical step in making the full switch away from Big Tech ecosystems a realistic option for professionals and organisations that care about where their data lives.
Would love to hear whether others in the community share this need — and whether the Proton team has any plans in this direction.

This is minor, but not greying the past events!
I sometimes need to quantify the amount of time spent on a specific activity and visually it would make it easier. As it is, not only is it not aesthetically pleasing but it's also ever so slightly less clear.
Maybe have the past event colour slightly dulled down, or perhaps have an option to grey it entirely?8 votes -
inline response
When I get an email with a lot of questions, I'd like to be able to reply inline without having to cut and paste. Doesn't Outlook have this feature?

To Do List Section / To Do Item List Under Events
I feel each calendar entry should have a "to-do" option underneath the "description option". For example, if I had "Shopping" from 4-5:30pm, I could create a checklist of food and goods that I need. Or, if I was developing a website from 6pm to 8pm, I could mark down "Fix CSS bug, begin "About Us" page, begin to make site more responsive, deploy VPS" etc.
Or, if I created an all day event that occurs every day, I could use the to-do to mark off habits, kindof like a Notion productivity tracker. I.e. on the all day event, "Check email, walk at least 4 miles, work 2 hours on xyz, brush teeth, feed goldfish, meditate" etc.
Maybe even a daily to-do section or habit tracker couldn't hurt, but I wouldn't mind doing it manually with an all day event.

Show number of unread mails on top level folder
I am filtering a lot of my incoming e-mail into (sub)folders. The number of unread mails are displayed in the folder the mail was moved into. My folders are nested (2 or 3 levels deep) into a top level folder. I mostly have a collapsed view of the top level folders. In that case I would like to see if there are unread mails in the collapsed folders.

Display calendar notifications automatically sorted by time
I suggest displaying notifications for a calendar event sorted by time (as in Google Calendar). In other words, the notification closest in time to the event time should appear at the top, with all others listed in descending order of time until the notification furthest from the event time. This improves readability, making it easier to decide whether another notification is needed.

Change calendar email
Proton Calendars can linked to either the default Proton email address or to one alias, but this setting cannot be changed afterwards.
Please allow the editing of the linked email address when editing the calendar settings.5 votes -

Smarter Mail-to-Calendar Integration with One-Click Event Creation
I would love to see tighter integration between Proton Mail and Proton Calendar. Features like automatically creating calendar events from emails, smarter reminders, and better RSVP management would improve productivity. For example, if I receive an email announcing Crumbl Cookies' weekly flavor lineup from https://crumbl-menu.com/, I should be able to create a calendar reminder for Monday's flavor drop with a single click. An AI-powered search that works entirely on-device while preserving privacy would also be a great addition. For Calendar, offline access, richer recurring event options, and easier sharing with non-Proton users would make it even more useful. Overall, maintaining Proton's strong privacy focus while adding more convenience features would make the ecosystem even stronger.

Select all emalis matching a search
Again... seems like this would be on a "required for day one" list but - we need the ability to perform a search and select all matching results. Currently there is a 'first page' or 'all' on a Folder and Label level - but it needs to be more granular - while still allowing to select more than 50 results.

Quick-add sender to existing filter rules from inbox/message view via groups
Currently, managing multiple senders for a single filter rule is tedious. Using groups in filters can solve this. This would save significant time for power users managing multiple sender rules.
Use Case: I have a folder named "Travel" with a filter that moves all emails from expedia.com. Today, I receive an important email from a specific airline.
Current Workflow: I see the email → Click three dots → Search for filter settings → Navigate to Settings → Open Filters → Find "Travel" rule → Edit Condition → Add special-airlines.com → Save. Proposed Workflow: I see the email → Right-click sender (or click an "Add to Group" icon in the toolbar) → Select "Travel Group" from a dropdown → Future emails sorted.Currently, managing multiple senders for a single filter rule is tedious.
