Appointment from Email
Add an option to send an existing email to an appointment (Calendar Event).
Either right click on the email in a folder, or as an action (eg Move to Trash, Mark As Unread…) in the email view.
Add the email sender as a Recipient, and the mail title as the Appointment (Event) Title, and the email text as Description.
For example, receive an email about a new journal idea with copious detail, create a meeting appointment to discuss with automatic detail from the email.

Import contacts direct to group
When importing new contacts to Proton, it would be very helpful to be able to import them direct into a contact group in Proton.
Alternatively, release a separate Contacts module where contacts can be flexibly sorted and managed so, for example, a most recent import list can be identified by import date and assigned to a group.
Thank you.6 votes -
Export email in folders and subfolders to file like .pst
It would be very useful to be able to export folders and subfolders containing e-mail to a .pst like file.
Just like the import/export function in Outlook.Preferably the function should be built in to the Proton mailclient.

Autofill / autocomplete event details
Other calendar apps I’ve used will recognise if I start typing the name of a previous event and autofill the names, location, time and other details. In addition to being able to copy and paste irregularly repeating events, I would like this feature so I don’t have to go looking for a previous instance of an event in order to copy it.

allow setting default notification for folders
When creating new folders, one option is where you want notifications for the folder. It defaults to showing notifications, but I don't want any of my folders to do that, so there should be an option where I can change that to default to NO. So I don't have to remember to set this EVERY time I create a new folder.

Make Contacts MUCH more visible in Proton Mail Desktop app for Mac
📝 UserVoice Submission re Proton Mail Desktop app for Mac
Title: Proton Mail Desktop App: Contacts Side Panel Toggle is too inconspicuous & difficult to use
Description:
Hello Proton Team,
I'm writing to report a significant usability issue in the Mac Proton Mail desktop app (version 1.13.3) where the Contacts side panel is effectively invisible to most users.
The Problem
In the desktop app, there is no visible icon or button to access contacts. Apparently the only way to reveal the side panel is via a small, arrow at the bottom-right corner of the interface—essentially hidden in plain sight.
Compare this to the web version (mail.proton.me), which displays a prominent right-side toolbar with clearly labeled icons for Contacts, Calendar, etc.—immediately discoverable.
Why This Matters
Usability Principle
Violation
Visibility
Core functionality (contacts) should be immediately visible
Affordance
No visual cue indicates what the tiny arrow does
Platform Parity
Desktop app lags significantly behind web UI consistency
Discoverability
Without external help/tutorials, ~80% of users would never find this
Accessibility
Cognitive load increased unnecessarily—hiding essential features defeats productivity purpose
What I Had To Do
I spent considerable time searching for contacts functionality:
• Checked View menu - at a minimum there should be an entry for “Contacts” in this menu.
• Scanned all corners/interfaces
• Tested keyboard shortcuts (Cmd-Shift-C didn’t work)
• Compared behavior across platform versions
Only then did I locate the hidden toggle—a frustrating experience for anything that should be routine.
Suggested Improvements
Priority Level: High (Core Feature Discovery)✓ Add visible Contacts icon to right-hand toolbar (match web app layout)
✓ Label the sidebar toggle clearly if kept minimal
✓ Provide tooltip/hint on first launch explaining how to show panels
✓ Ensure feature parity between web and desktop app interfaces
ADD Contacts entry to “View” menu.Impact Statement
This affects daily workflow:
• Composing emails → Cannot quickly select recipients
• Managing events → Cannot reference contacts while scheduling
• General productivity → Creates unnecessary friction vs. competitors
For a product marketed as privacy-focused AND productivity-enhancing, hiding fundamental navigation controls undermines both value propositions.Device info:
• macOS version: 26.5.2
• Proton Mail Desktop app: v1.13.3
Thank you for listening—and for continuing to build tools that respect user privacy. I'd love to see this resolved in an upcoming update.
Best regards, A frustrated but hopeful user 😅📝 UserVoice Submission re Proton Mail Desktop app for Mac

AppImage packages for immutable Linux distributions + Flathub
Hello!
With immutable Linux distributions gaining popularity, perhaps there's a chance you could build an AppImage versions of your applications. That way you could provide support for all distributions alike.There are also community-made wrappers for your applications on FlatHub. I believe these are not supported by you, I would appreciate you taking a stance on them. They look legitimate, as signed by "Proton AG", but could in theory compromise security of users.
Example:
https://flathub.org/en/apps/me.proton.Mail
I'd say either you provide the Flatpaks, or outright reach out to Flathub to get them removed.Kind regards

I would like to forward emails to automation services like TripIT without the need of a confirmation email.
I would like to forward emails to automation services like TripIT etc without the need of a confirmation email. Could we have an optional checkbox we can check to override the need for a confirmation email when we are forwarding to these kind of services?

I want the web based proton mail to stop being divided into separate screens but just be one single scrollable screen like the phone app cur
I want the web-based proton mail to move away from pages with page 1 page 2 and so on to a single scrollable page such as is found in the phone app which is a more usable solution.

Highlight starred mails
When you add a star to your mail, it should change the background colour in the list of mails.
It should also be possible to arrange your mails so that the starred mails are on top of the list (sorted by date), and regular mails are at the bottom (also sorted by date).This would highlight the starred mails. I am not a fan of the starred mails mixed in between regular mails.

Settings panel auto-close on reload
This is not really specific to Mail or Calendar, it happens on all Web apps. When I open the settings panel on the right, and then reload the page (Ctrl+R), the settings panel remains open at the right.
I open the settings panel to access the settings page ("All settings" button), and when I'm done, I click the "Back to Inbox" button. THE PANEL IS STILL THERE.
Why this unnecessary feature?

Open in a specified folder - or last opened folder
I want proton Mail to always open in a folder specified by me.
This could also be "latest opened folder".
Right now I always see the inbox, which ideally is pretty empty in my setup, since I have a ton of subfolders and filters.
This means that I have to go to the "All mail" section - or browse many subfolders - to see discover new mails.
I'd personally prefer to always see "All mail" when opening Proton on the web or in an app, but another solution could simply be that Proton opened in the folder that was active when it was closed.

Reply's show in FOLDER they are replied from, rather than sent folder -like outlook
example. If I'm in my FOLDER called "realtor" and I reply... I will see my reply in the "realtor" folder.
If this if too much heavy lifting. It would be nice if I could do it manually during my reply. example. I am in FOLDER called "realtor" and reading an email. I select reply, and in the COMPOSE window, I see the MOVE icon. I select it, and choose "realtor" FOLDER. Then hit send. I can then see my reply email listed in the "realtor' folder.

Bonjour, intégrer dans proton mail la possibilité de planifier le traitements des courriels reçus à la date que l'on souhaite. Idem gmail.
Un courriel n'est ^pas à traiter immédiatement. Pour ne pas encombrer la boite de réception il est mis dans une "boite" en attente avec une date pour le retour en boite de réception. Idem gmail : en attente, à minima.
Permet de planifier son travail par étalement raisonné de la charge, ne pas être submergé, en boite de réception, par des courriels repérés, gagner en efficacité ...2 votes -
Allow any email alias to be used when SMTP Submission is authenticated.
Problem Statement
The current SMTP submission authentication system in Proton Mail & Calendar requires users to authenticate with the exact email address they're sending from. This creates unnecessary complexity and limitations for power users and developers who need flexibility in email handling.Current Limitations
Single authentication constraint: Users must authenticate with the same email address they're sending from
Token management overhead: Requires creating separate aliases and tokens for each service that needs to use different email aliases
Multi-user environment issues: Particularly problematic in systems like Ubuntu where different user accounts (root vs. logged-in user) have different usernames
Developer workflow disruption: Inconsistent with common development and email automation practices
Proposed Solution
Allow users to authenticate once with their primary Proton account credentials, then send email using any alias associated with that account.Key Benefits
Simplified authentication: Single login enables use of all associated aliases
Reduced token management: No need to generate separate tokens for each alias
Better developer experience: Compatible with common email automation and CI/CD workflows
Enhanced flexibility: Supports multi-user environments and various use cases
Competitive parity: Matches Google Workspace functionality
Use Cases
Development environments: Using sendmail with different system accounts
Email automation: Services that need to send from specific aliases
Multi-user systems: Shared development environments with different usernames
Email management: Centralized control over multiple addresses
Technical Implementation
Allow SMTP authentication to accept the primary account credentials while permitting the MAIL FROM command to specify any alias associated with that account. This mirrors Google Workspace's approach where authentication validates the account, not the specific alias being used.This change would significantly improve the user experience while maintaining security and aligning with industry best practices.

Proton Calendar Countdown Timer
Proton Calendar users should be able to add a countdown timer feature to an event. For example, a user schedules a wedding on the calendar and decides to toggle a button to enable a countdown timer. This feature would especially be useful on mobile devices and could be made into a widget or lock screen display.
