make the invitation email for calendar events optional
The email is currently mandatory.
There is at least one use case when the email is not desiderable:
I receive a Google Meet link with date and time by message in a Telegram DM or whatever.
The meeting is agreed upon and confirmed by both.
That person already has the event on his Google Calendar.
I want to set it on my Proton Calendar with the counterparty email as a reference for myself, but I would rather not send a duplicate confirmation email.

Send reminder email to user who booked meeting
Oftentimes, people who book appointments with me through Proton's Calendar Booking solution will forget about the appointment, and eventually not show up.
It would be nice to have the possibility to send users who booked an appointment a reminder email, in order to avoid no-show.3 votes -
Feature Request: Respect DMARC "p=reject" Policy for Custom Domains
I'm writing to suggest an improvement to Proton Mail's handling of DMARC policies. Currently, when an incoming email fails DMARC validation for a domain with a p=reject policy, Proton Mail always delivers it to the Spam folder instead of rejecting it at the SMTP level.
While I understand this "soft" approach prevents legit mail loss due to misconfiguration (as permitted by RFC 7489 Section 6), it also diminishes the security value of a "Reject" policy for domain owners who want to strictly prevent spoofing.
Proposed Phased Implementation:
Phase 1 (Internal Custom Domains): Exclusively allow Proton Mail Custom Domain From Addresses to apply their DMARC Reject Policy (if applicable). Since these users manage their own DNS records, they expect higher security standards. By rejecting failed emails at the gateway, you can provide them with the precise protection they've configured.
Benefit: This minimizes the impact on general "mailing list" senders while significantly boosting security for Proton's paid users.
Phase 2 (Advanced): Provide a toggle in one of the settings page allowing the paid users (or all users) to opt-in to "Strict DMARC Reject Policy Enforcement."
Why this matters: True DMARC rejection prevents sensitive "Business Email Compromise" (BEC) attacks from ever reaching the user's mailbox. Forcing these into the Spam folder still leaves the user vulnerable to social engineering if they check their Junk mail.
As a privacy and security-focused service, Proton Mail should be the ideal platform to lead the way in honoring domain owners' explicit security intents.

Add feature to view .eml attachments
A very common practice in business settings is to reference related email conversations by attaching them to the current conversation in the form of an .eml file.
Currently, Proton Mail does not support viewing .eml attachments, neither in the web app nor in the desktop client. It is possible to get around this limitation by using a third-party email client and accessing Proton Mail through Bridge.
Just as with .pdf and other formats, being able to view attachments in the .eml format directly in Proton Mail would be a big quality of life change for those of us who regularly use this format.

Mark 'Spam' as read
Emails automatically filtered to Spam should be marked as read - not to distract from actual unread emails. Even better, it should be a user-selectable option.

Partner with Signal for a messaging, calling, video app
If Proton could partner with Signal so that both customer bases could communicate with each other with messaging, voice, and video. One of the biggest limitations with private messaging is whether or not the people you want to communicate with have the same technology. Expanding the customer base would benefit the customers of both groups. Signal has a mature product running on all of the major platforms. Proton could offer international hosting, which would limit government throttling like we've recently seen with Telegram. It would seem like Signal and Proton could find common ground that benefits both of them and their customers.

Overnight events
While traveling, it is important to know at what accommodation you sleep at night. These are events that span two days (or if staying a longer time, multiple nights). Is there a way to mark these kinds of events in the calendar? Especially useful if it can be clearly visible from the calendar overview that there is a lack of such a night-spanning event (i.e. one night one has not yet planned a place to stay).
Currently, on the Android app, we see by the number of dots below a date how many events are there.
To indicate the presence of an overnight event, one could put a small arrow or marker on these dots, so to know that it is a night-covering event. Then when a night is missing, it is immediately clear from the overview.
Especially when traveling for business to many places, while the plan changes dynamically, having such a feature helps the user to reassure themselves that they got every night figured out.

Docker Version of Bridge (linux)
Provide an official repository for Proton-Bridge as a Docker Container. Currently its only possible to connect Protonmail via IMAP to other docker services (Ollama-AI, Paperless-ngx) using one of many community made and managed docker images. Since many people are doing it, surely its better to provide a secure and trusted option.

Better email thread grouping by actual email replies, not by subject
Current way of doing email thread is not reflecting what it should look like. Emails with the same subject but not on the same thread shows up grouped together and it is hard to use.

Simplify Proton Mail Bridge configuration
I have a growing list of self-hosted services, and am moving toward unattended installation and reinstallation. Proton Mail Bridge creates a challenge as it wants to be configured using an interactive CLI. Using the 'expect' utility doesn't work well because of the way log messages are presented. Providing the inputs via stdin is fragile for items such as imap-security (not idempotent) and autoupdate (confirmation prompt only when changing). I'd like to see a better way to set this up.
- Either use a plain-text file for general Bridge configuration, or commands that are idempotent and don't require confirmation (e.g. 'set imap-security ssl')
- Instead of logging in to the Bridge and generating imap/smtp passwords there, allow creating/generating this password in Proton account settings. (This would solve the TOTP problem, and also allow the password to be stable in case the Bridge needs to be reinstalled.)

.ics file import directly in the New Event dialog ;-)
I often have to import .ics files into my calendar. The current path to the function is multi-cklicks away. Why not add a button in the New Event dialog? That would be very handy :-)

Notications from shared calendars
When sharing a calendar, for example in a family, it would be nice to know if other members of the shared calendar adds, deletes or make changes to the calendar. It could be a change of time, title or date of an existing appointment. Or if a member adds an new appointment.
Would it be possible to add this feature to the calendar?6 votes -
Buttons should be at the end of the mail
Dear ProtonMail team,
I would like to suggest a usability improvement for the webmail interface.
Currently, the action buttons (such as delete, archive, etc.) are positioned above the email content. In practice, this creates friction: after reading a message, I often want to take an action, but I have to scroll back to the top to access those buttons.
It would improve the user experience significantly if these action buttons were also available at the end of the email, or if they remained visible while scrolling. This would allow users to act immediately after reading, without unnecessary navigation.
Thank you for considering this suggestion.
Kind regards,

add signature picker in the email composer
It would be really helpful to have a signature selector directly in the email composer.
I frequently need to insert my signature manually — especially when replying to emails or using accounts that don't have a default signature set. I also often want to switch between different signatures depending on the context (for example, using a project-specific signature instead of my standard one).
Adding a button in the composer that lets me choose from a list of saved signatures would solve this friction completely. This is a very common and well-established feature in most modern email services (Gmail, Outlook, Fastmail, etc.).
It should be a fairly straightforward addition, but it would significantly improve the daily email experience.

Improve keyboard navigation in Mail Desktop Application
Improve keyboard navigation in Mail Desktop Application
Current behavior:
When using the Proton Mail desktop application in split view, selecting an email displays the message preview in the reading pane.
As a keyboard-oriented user, I expect pressing the Down Arrow key to move directly to the next email in the message list while keeping the preview pane synchronized with the selected message.
Instead, the focus appears to move into the preview pane. Pressing the Down Arrow key scrolls the content of the currently opened email rather than selecting the next email. This creates a confusing and inefficient workflow.
Expected behavior:
When the message list is active, pressing Up and Down Arrow should immediately move between emails and update the preview pane accordingly.
Optional keyboard shortcuts could be provided to explicitly switch focus between:
• Message list
• Reading pane
• Folder listWhy this matters:
For users processing large volumes of email, keyboard navigation is critical for productivity. The current behavior requires unnecessary focus changes and extra keystrokes, making Proton Mail significantly slower to use than Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird, and other mature email clients.
This issue affects daily usability and is one of the main reasons I find it difficult to use Proton Mail as my primary email application despite otherwise appreciating the product.
I am a long time Proton customer and Visionary subscriber who has supported Proton for many years, including through its early growth period.
Despite strongly supporting Proton’s mission, privacy model, and product ecosystem, this particular usability issue has a surprisingly large impact on daily workflow efficiency.
The current keyboard navigation behavior makes email triage noticeably slower than in Outlook, Apple Mail, and other mature mail clients. For users processing large volumes of email every day, this is not a minor inconvenience but a core workflow problem.
Fixing this would significantly improve the desktop experience and make Proton Mail a more viable primary email platform for power users and long term professional customers.
