family/duo plan and domain name shared
Family tree are not only 6 persons. It would be kind to share my family domain with others members of my family. Today I have subscribed to a family plan for my chidren and wife but my brothers's family and sisters's family could not use the same domain name (which is our family name) with proton plan. It is the same for my parents if they subscribed to a duo plan they can't use this domain with proton. Else business plan are to expensive for individuals and families.
Because of this fact, all could not migrate to proton as main email solution.
So permit to share a domain name between family/duo plan.

A bridge for the Proton calendar
I would like to have a bridge, as realised with the Proton email, with which the calendar entries in the Proton calendar are mirrored in the standard calendar on the Mac or iPhone. Then they would also be displayed automatically on the Apple Watch.

Add built in S/MIME email signing
It would be nice if mails could be, by default, signed with an S/MIME.
Proton mail already supports signing mails with G/MIME, but G/MIME doesnt add the little green checkmark on gmail (it just makes my message get an attachement with the key, and get sent to spam).4 votes -

Dedicated Proton Calendar App for MacOS
Instead of using the proton mail app for calendar, have a dedicated proton calendar app for macOS.
In the meantime, or if this is not something Proton wants to pursue, I would appreciate a couple of changes to the proton mail app:
I would like to be able to pick which is the default view when the app is launched to calendar instead of mail.I would also like to be able to two finger swipe left or right to be able to scroll back and forth between different weeks or months or days instead of just having the arrow buttons in the corners (or a keyboard command that goes to the next or previous one).
When creating events that have start and stop times, so not all day events, I would like to be able to click and drag an even down from the start to end time. This is already a feature, I would just like it changed to be able to do it across multiple days (as someone who routinely schedules something from 1900 one day through 0730 the next day)
I would like to be able to click on an event and then use the keyboard shortcut to copy the event, and then be able to use the keyboard shortcut to paste the event somewhere else.
I would like to be able to assign custom Hex colors to calendars.

Resizable folders panel in Column layout
On desktop and web, when using Column layout, I can resize the messages list vs. the opened message, but I can’t resize the left folders panel (Inbox, Trash, etc.). Please add an option to resize that panel too.
For me it’s way too wide, and making it smaller would give more space to the message view, which is more useful.

Add option to stop processing email filters
Please add a "stop processing filters" option to the custom filters - to prevent mail that meets the criteria of the first filter with this option enabled being processed by subsequent filters.
For example, if I have a rule that sends email to the trash or spam, I may not want subsequent filters from moving it elsewhere.

I'd like to be able to choose whether to leave past events in color or gray like now.
You don't just work with the calendar looking forward; you often need to go back, and all the gray makes it difficult to see, especially when you have a lot of calendars and poor eyesight. Google Calendar lets you select how you want to view past events. That's what I need.

advanced syntax in search
Mail : Advanced Search Syntax, operators and Keywords
Having an advanced search syntax ("from:user@domain.com", "to:user@domain.com", "filetype:xlsx"...) would ease and speed up the use of the search feature among mail or other apps. Many competitors propose such feature but search engines (like Duckduckgo, Brave, etc..) might also be inspiring for a powerful search syntax.

Sort newsletters from Z to A (reverse alphabetical order)
Currently, the newsletter view provides the following sorting options: Least read, Most read, Most frequent, From A to Z, Recently read, Recently received. My idea is very simple: add a "From Z to A" option. Because why not.

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?

Allow sending calendar invitations to your own Proton addresses/aliases
Proton Calendar prevents users from inviting their own Proton addresses or aliases to events, even when those addresses belong to different calendars.
If I try to invite one of my own Proton aliases (e.g., personal@example.com) to an event created in a different calendar that I also own (e.g., a shared team calendar), Proton blocks the invitation. Inviting my own addresses should be allowed when the invited address is not the owner of the originating calendar.
Why this matters?
Users with multiple Proton calendars cannot keep their schedules in sync, reducing the convenience of shared calendars.
For example, I have:
- a shared “Product team” calendar owned by product@example.com
- a personal work calendar owned by personal@example.comIf an event is created in the shared calendar and personal@example.com is invited, it should block that time in my personal calendar.

Advanced PGP Key Management for Proton Mail Users
Description
Currently, Proton Mail allows users to manually add PGP public keys to external addresses only.
This creates several limitations for users with more complex encryption setups or personal key hierarchies.
Problem 1: Limited Manual Control
Users cannot manually specify whether an email should be:
-
Signed only
-
Encrypted only
- Signed and encrypted
Instead, Proton Mail enforces a fixed default behavior per contact.
If a user wishes to change how messages are sent, they must manually adjust the contact’s encryption settings each time.
This slows down workflows and complicates secure communication.
Problem 2: External Keys for Proton Addresses
Some Proton users maintain their own personal PGP key pairs associated with their Proton-hosted email addresses (for example, to preserve local control or maintain a separate trust model).
However, when receiving messages from other Proton Mail users, Proton’s system automatically forces the use of the Proton-managed encryption keys, preventing users from:
- Assigning their external public key to that same Proton address, or
- Choosing an alternative key manually for encryption/signing.
This limitation breaks compatibility with privacy-focused setups or air-gapped key workflows.
Problem 3: Security Tradeoff
The only workaround — uploading the external private key to Proton — undermines the purpose of maintaining an offline or self-controlled key.
Even if Proton’s storage is zero-access, this still requires trusting Proton’s infrastructure with a key that ideally should never leave local custody.
Suggested Enhancements
-
Manual Key Override
Allow users to override key selection on a per-message basis, including:- “Sign only”
- “Encrypt only”
- “Sign and encrypt”
- “Send plaintext”
Custom Key Mapping for Proton Addresses
Enable assigning an external public key to a Proton-hosted address, even when interacting with another Proton user.Per-Message Key Selection UI
Add an “Advanced” or “PGP Options” dropdown when composing a message to select signing/encryption behavior or which key to use (similar to Thunderbird or GPGMail).
Rationale
These improvements would benefit advanced users who manage their own key infrastructure or use Proton as part of a broader privacy toolchain.
They enhance flexibility and control without compromising usability or Proton’s secure defaults for non-technical users.Description

Proton Calendar: Set date by day, month and year
When creating an event in Proton Calendar, it would be great to be able to select the day, month and year separately. On the web / desktop app, you can scroll through by month which is somewhat acceptable, but on iOS, you have to scroll day by day. Very cumbersome if you are trying to add an event a year or more into the future.

Customizable Android notification actions
There are currently three actions on the notification "Archive", "Trash" and "Mark Read". It would be great to be able to customize those such as we already can with the swipe actions.
I for one would never have mark read and archive there, but would add snooze and spam.

Allow undo on android notification quick action
Whenever seeing a notification you have three options "Archive", "Trash" and "Mark read". Clicking any of them will perform the action immediately, but very often I click "Archive" instead of "Trash" (muscle memory from Gmail listing delete as the first option) and it would be nice to undo on the same spot without having to open the app. Other mail apps like the aforementioned gmail allow undoing.

Overhaul of folders and unread email identification
I know there are similar requests in this vain, but I wanted to consolidate ways to deal with the "problem" here.
With the emphasis on aliases and the use of SimpleLogin (or similar) within Proton Mail ("PM"), for those of us that are (to a fault) uber-organized, the sidebar has become a huge list of folders to help manage all the emails from all the aliases. Filters place emails directly into the appropriate folders to be dealt with. In an overkill of organization, subfolders are used as well.
Example: a master folder might be "Travel" and general travel-related emails end up in there. For specific trips, however, the use of aliases might be used and subfolders are created within "Travel," like "Japan," "Germany," "Cruise 2026," "United," "Delta," etc. It is more important than ever to be able to quickly identify where there are unread emails to deal with. The following are suggestions taken from a couple of email client competitors.
Currently PM acts like Outlook for Mac, where if there is an unread count in subfolders and the primary folder is expanded, the count is seen. However, to keep things neat, if the folder is collapsed, there is no indication of unread email in the subfolders. Fastmail attempts to address this by making the collapsed folder bold, indicating that at least one subfolder has an unread. They claim they don't want to put a number next to it because it would be confusing.
Thunderbird was able to address the "confusion" by showing a total count of all emails unread in the primary and subfolders when collapsed as a "hallow" number. Then when the folder is expanded, the number next to the primary folder is solid and represents the unread in the primary, and all the subfolders show their respective unread counts. That is one very appealing option.
Something that Fastmail did do right, which in my work flow is even better, is to provide the ability to HIDE a folder in the sidebar if it doesn't have any unread emails. (You can also hide it if it's empty, if you're the type to delete/move an email out of a folder once dealt with. Personally I keep all my emails forever so my great-great-grandchildren have something to remember me by.) You still have the ability to go to the hidden folder by clicking on a button to reveal all the folders, either the "search" for iOS apps, or the View/Goto... option on the desktop. The result is a clean sidebar that only shows folders when it gets an email to deal with. As soon as it's read, the folder goes back into hiding.
If Proton Mail is asking to become the default email application, hopefully on the plan is a major version update to include many of the competitive features of other clients. (Funny saying "competitive" because clearly, unless you're Microsoft and you want to inshitify your products and use your customer's data, I'm sure there is zero profit margin in providing a "state-of-the-art" email client. In the long run, however, it would only help drive traffic towards the paid versions of the Proton packages. I'm sure the Proton developers are pedaling as fast as they can, so I sympathize with the challenges. Maybe the Swiss can reach out to the Aussies and see if there's some I/F code sharing possibilities...)
Thank you for your consideration.
