Creation of a Public Spam Address List
I suggest creating a public list of known spam addresses. This list could be initially curated by Proton Mail and then maintained and continuously updated by the community (for example, via GitHub).
Additionally, it would be highly beneficial to add, in this section (https://account.proton.me/u/78/mail/filters#spam) within each user account’s spam filter settings, a feature that allows users to upload one or more precompiled lists of spam addresses (e.g., in .txt, .md, .csv, .json, or similar formats). This would enable users to manage their own personalized lists and import them all at once, rather than having to mark addresses individually.
Furthermore, there should also be an option to upload files containing lists of blocked addresses.
I consider this a high-level feature that should already be available in Proton Mail.

Strike agenda items
When deleting an event in the Proton Calendar, I still want to be reminded that it was there originally. Is it possible to offer two kinds of delete:
(A) strike through the event (so it is still visible in the calendar, but now the title is in strike through), or
(B) permanently delete the event?2 votes -
Broader timezone-compatability in Calendar
I routinely get calendar-invites that can't get imported into Proton Calendar because of some error in the timezone-encoding.
To import it i have to save the .ics-file, open it in Outlook and then manually enter it into Proton..7 votes -
Self-destruct multiple emails
Currently, the self-destruct option can only be selected for each email individually. It would be really useful to be able to select multiple emails and choose a self-destruct time for all of them.

Sending E2EE emails to non-Proton users without the manual password/key hassle
I’ve been a very happy user and I’m incredibly grateful for what the Proton team has built. Proton is easily the best at privacy when both sides are on the platform, but recently I’ve been sending a lot of sensitive documents—IDs, bank docs, and contracts—to government officials. It’s made me realize that while Proton is great for privacy if both sides use it, it’s still a huge headache when your recipient isn’t a Proton user or a tech freak.
Right now, we have two options for non-Proton users, and both have major real-world friction. First, there’s PGP. Unless the recipient is very tech-savvy, that’s out of the question. You can't ask a government clerk or a busy accountant to manage keys just to read your email. Second, there’s manual password protection. This is where it gets tough; I have to find a separate way to call or text the person just to give them a password. It feels unprofessional and creates so much friction that many people just give up.
I’d love to propose two separate features (likely for Proton Unlimited and Business) to bridge this gap:
- Legally-binding "Electronic Registration" (Similar to IncaMail from Swiss Post): For both private individuals and businesses, we need a way to send an email that has legal weight. This would be a "Registered" option where the recipient must electronically sign for the email to decrypt it. To make this work while staying Zero-Knowledge, users could securely upload their ID to their Proton account—stored with end-to-end encryption so even Proton can't read it.
When a "Registered" email arrives, the recipient would "sign" it with a simple, intuitive gesture (like a "drag-to-unlock" switch). This signature, backed by their stored ID, would generate a signed receipt proving the recipient's identity and the exact time of delivery. This would be a game-changer for official correspondence, legal filings, or contracts that require proof of delivery.
- Automated Identity Verification (OTP or Secure Link): This feature doesn't need to be legally binding; it's purely for making everyday secure communication convenient. To stop the hassle of manual password sharing, we need an automated verification system that doesn't require the sender to manually coordinate passwords:
Integrated Verification: When the recipient clicks to open the email, they are prompted to verify their identity through a standard flow (like a one-time code sent to their mobile or a (secondary) email already on file).
Secure-Key Link: Alternatively, Proton could generate a unique, secure-key link displayed in the email inbox when opening the email. The recipient is led to an encrypted browser environment that verifies they are the intended recipient through a pre-constructed flow, then decrypts the message right there.
This removes the human element of having to coordinate a second communication channel myself. Even the most tech-illiterate and lazy people can handle an SMS code, email verification, or simply clicking a link and following a clear verification flow
By implementing these, Proton would make it so much easier for Proton and non-Proton users to communicate privately. It makes privacy and legal security very convenient, regardless of what provider the other person uses.

Provide the ability to edit the subject line of an e-mail
Often an e-mail comes with a subject line that doesn't completely describe the content. For example, in a newsletter e-mail there may be several articles and the subject line is the first article. I may want to save the e-mail because of the second article. When this happens, I forward the e-mail to myself so I can change the subject line, but then I lose who it came from. Outlook has provided the capability to edit the subject line for many years and I'm surprised I haven't seen this feature in other e-mail applications. Seems like a simple thing to do.

Simple navigation to a specific date.
At the moment you have to scroll through each month if you want to jump to a specific date in the past or future. This is very inconvenient. In many other calendars it is possible to first select the year, then the month and then the day.

UI elements for Emails - too much & too big
When opening an email - especially on mobile - UI elements are too big, to much of them and maybe they shouldn't all be there. See screenshot here - https://drive.proton.me/urls/0G7Y7D3WF0#mL6N900V24rk
"This image is from a mailing list" - I know this and usually there is a link for unsubscribe, so not needed there. Also people might feel forced every time they open an email from a list to unsubscribe.
"Some images failed to load...." - This is also not necessary. I would rather have a general settings for all emails. Maybe you could find a solution to load images to a temporary place, remove trackers then serve us the clean images.
As you can see in the screenshoot around 80% of the screen is not the content of the email + instead of start reading the email, I have to address options with most of these emails.

When I open or use the preview in calendar, show the create date for repeating events.
Since we don't have any task system, I create repeating events to remind me to complete some task like for example checking a credit card refund. 3 months down the track when I look at the event I want to be able to see the first date for this event. Easier than having to scroll back through a busy calendar trying to work it out.

Password protect Proton Mail for Linux
Beta 1.10.1 (5.0.87.5)
Ability to protect the Proton Mail for Linux client with a password like it is for Proton Authenticator.
I don't mention Proton Pass because the extra password there is synced between devices as a second authentication factor, while Proton Authenticator on linux has the option to setup an optional local password to lock the app without affecting other devices.

Jump to sent reply from the original email by clicking on reply icon beside sender name/address
Once you've replied to an email Proton Mail adds an unfilled reply icon in front of the sender address on the replied-to email and it has "Replied to" as the hover text. However, clicking on this icon does nothing to do with replies, but instead opens the standard sender pop-up ("New message", "Messages from this sender", etc).
I think that reply icon in front of the sender address to instead take you to the reply you wrote.

Teams meeting link in Proton Calendar app
Hi,
When we have a Teams meeting on the Proton Calendar app (on the phone), we cant find the meeting link. It is not in the event, when I use my phone.
At the moment, I either have to go on the Proton Calendar app on my laptop, or in the email.Can we have the meeting link on the phone app as well?
Thanks!!

Support .heic photo attachments in mail—“attached” .heic photos show in my drafts/sent emails, but recipients tell me they haven’t received.
Notes/tl;dr-ish :
Please note that as far as I can find: .heic = now the standard image file extension for any images taken via an apple device’s camera)
** Additional note: proton mail users do not seem to receive any error codes to tell them that these attachments were never sent.
***Please bear with me: I have tried to put all tl;dr info in the title & notes (above), but I struggle to write succinctly. I do believe this to be an issue that may affect any people that attach photos to their emails that were taken by an iphone/ipad.
Based from a comment I made on a laterally related post about .heic preview within proton mail (where other commenters mentioned that .heic photos aren’t recognised or displayed as photos within Proton Drive.
I am making a seperate post rather than just leaving my comment on the original post, as I believe that post was a different enough request to the issue that I have been experiencing, as well as that post being from May 2024.
This is also an issue that I believe proton mail users may not be notified via the app, that their recipients have not received the attached images. This is something I have figured out only after receiving replies back from email recipients that the/some attachments I have referred to were not sent to them.
Please see the link to the previous post here: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/945460-general-ideas/suggestions/48426479--heic
My comment:
WAIT—I trawled through this forum to try to find if anyone else was having a similar ongoing issue to me, as an ios & ipadOS app user.
might THIS be the reason why whenever I attach photos I’ve taken on my iphone to an email on the proton app (via: import from photo library), I will say “please see attached” and although I can see the attached photos, the receiver gets back to me saying that there were no attachments??!?!?
My workaround this year has been uploading photos from my camera roll to the ios files app, and then trying to attach via importing from files.
But I didn’t realise that any photos that I’ve been doing this with (taken from an iphone, where .heic seems to have been default for a while), over the past ~1 year may have not ever been received by any of the email’s recipients!!!!
I really wish that proton could officially clarify what the deal is with .heic file compatibility is, both on proton mail (app & and web), and any of the other proton services (from what I can gather from the comments section).
This means that I can at least know that any .heic photo attachments should go through a .jpg converter first in the meantime, and that I don’t need to worry about .jpg, .jpeg, .png photo file formats not being sent through the ios photo library import, via proton mail app.
I have literally been creating new google drive shared folders (google bleh) to send a link to email recipients out of fear that the photos may have disappeared from the attachments without me having any clue……that and avoiding sending images over proton mail on apple apps, exporting from my photo library to my phone’s files, and other convoluted ways to try troubleshoot, since at least a year ago now.
Can proton PLEASE provide some clarity so we can find workarounds if it’s not actionable, or if there will be a delay in adding .heic compatibility, which would be very understandable! I just wanna know what is sending/what disappears :”(

Permit Handling of attached files ie ISO 26300 (.odt/ods) open office formats
Protonmail frequently shows an inline file with standard suffix which it states preview is not supported. Many times these files are standard non-proprietary format (ie ISO 26300 or .odt or .ods). Yet, it does support and display proprietary files (ie Microsoft .docx).
This behavior is prejudicial and quite frankly a waste of time, bandwidth and storage to have to download to a temp storage location, find the file and where it was downloaded from LibreOffice/OpenOffice and reopen it.
It would be a straightforward program fix on files flagged as unsupported view types to permit the user to redirect the file to a program which can view the file, even on a read only basis. The present schema may leave files with sensitive data floating around a computer or force more users to proprietary formats run by big tech, which does who knows what with the contents in this era of pseudo Intelligence programmng.

Easily move recurring events (including birthdays) between calendars
Currently, managing recurring events, such as annual birthdays or weekly meetings, requires a complex process of recreation if the user wishes to change which calendar they belong to (e.g., moving an event from a 'Personal' calendar to a 'Family' or 'Work' calendar).
Please implement a simple 'move to' function for recurring events that transfers the entire series to the new calendar. This would streamline organization and data management within the Proton ecosystem, improving the user experience significantly."

open several emails at the same time using new windows or a tabs system
You often have to have several emails open at the same time for work. For exemple, a recent email you want to answer to an the result of a research. In other systems, you can open them in lots of new windows or in tabs. The Help support just confirmed me that it is not possible in Proton

Spam mails not forwarded to group members
Currently Proton does not forward emails that are classified as spam to group members. The problem is that there no trace (at least for Visionary plan) of this retention. It is really annoying with wrong positive spams.
Please find a way to warn at least the admin of the domain. Or simply distribute it to all group user spam folders.

Icon and Text - Customize Toolbar
Allow the option to have both Icon and Text when reading messages. Apple Mail has this option. I know what the trash and archive icons look like but it takes a half a second to focus that you are hitting the correct one so you don't delete an email that you want to archive. When the text is there (Archive, Trash) you can do it instantly without having to focus on it.
