Filters to apply to existing messages when a flag changes
Add flag changes as a trigger for filters. For example when an email is marked as read, check if a filter is applicable and then process it. Other triggers could be applying a star or manually applying a label.
If the server load would be heavy, it could be set up as an up to 24-hours until the filter will apply to spread the load.
My pipe dream for my Proton (and work) mailbox is for all mail to land in my inbox and be filed away automatically into a folder after i read it

Increase the cap on address deletions for paid users and display clear UI about cap limit
There is a very strict cap on how many and how often addresses can be deleted. As a Mail Plus customer, I get 10 addresses in total - which is a solid value - but I can apparently only delete one every year (?) or so. The actual cap limit is not published - the app simply fails with an error when try to delete a second address "too soon".
I understand why deleting addresses is strictly capped: to prevent abuse, and it also appears to be a technologically somewhat expensive, plus that address is now forever unavailable to anyone.
But it would be nice if the cap were just a tad more lenient. The reason is it turns out I need to change a few of the addresses over time for my uses, say: I need to delete 2 old ones and add 2 new ones when my life situation changes.
We can email product support and ask for 1-off deletions, but that is an annoyance (takes days). That also must cost Proton real money for human interaction/support.
So how about increasing the cap to 4 (5? 7?) per [time period], along with UI that lets us know how many deletions we have left and in what time period.
Summary:
Increase the limit on address deletions to some small number (4?) over some well-defined time period
Display UI with how many address deletions are left in our cap at any point in time.
Clearly display what the cap is (per year? per six months?). It is fine to live within a limit, and I understand why there must be limits on address deletions, but it would help to know what the limit and time period is.
Thanks so much for considering this request.

Can I just point out that the mail export function is unwieldy and doesn't work properly.
Just a thought. It's not a priority but I had occasion to want to back up my Protonmail emails yesterday, and I don't know whether you've tried it, but it's an unnecessarily convoluted process involving downloading an EXE, then typing a bunch of stuff into the terminal. Due to there being no cursor, I had to go back in and turn off 2FA and change my password to something siimple so I could get it to work. After which, it crashed twice and I eventually gave up. I'd like to think it should be easier just to download a load of JSONs.

Allow labels to be marked as current or archived
Basically, I have a lot of labels from an old project that aren't applicable anymore. I'd like to mark them as 'archived' so I can still search on them, but they won't be an option to apply to new items anymore. With too many old labels the list is very long. By archiving some this list well be much easier to scroll through.

Customize Side Panel in Mail
I would very much like to hide a couple of the elements in the Proton Mail side panel. I would like to be able to hide "Views" and "Folders" as I don't use them and they just take up space.
At the very least, it would be nice to have the option of moving them to the bottom so the Labels element (which I use a lot) is higher in the left panel.Thanks!

Projectoverview
An overview that displays categories or folders with filters in a column layout, showing—immediately below the header—only the 10 most recent emails (with the option to load more via scrolling). When an email is clicked, its content should be displayed in a preview pane situated beneath the list. This would provide a perfect overview for project-related communication.
example
Proj1 Proj2 Proj3 .....
mail1 Mal1 Mail1
mail2 Mail2 Mail2

Create a PIN-code for the application in Windows!
Be sure to create a PIN-code for the application in Windows! Otherwise, what's the point of all your privacy? If anyone can walk into a computer's workstation when a user is gone and gain full access to their email proton !

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 option to state availability of calendar items
Make day events by default as unavailable in booking pages. now that is not the case.
Also consider creating a flag in a calendar event that makes the invite free or unavailable. Sometimes you have these calendar events that are just reminders.

Proton Scribe Linux support
Proton Scribe is a great tool for writing emails, however the lack of support for letting users run Proton Scribe locally on a Linux system limits the usage and the privacy of this feature greatly

do not use windows action centre for reminders, design persistent reminder instead
Problem Description:
The Windows Proton app is working as intended, but that is not good enough. The Proton app uses the Windows notification feature to relay reminders to the user, and Windows can be configured to display the reminder for up to 5 minutes, after which it disappears. But it cannot be configured to remain displayed until dismissed by the user. The reminder always disappears after a short time, and if I'm not present at my PC at that time I will never see the reminder. I have missed several very, very important reminders because of this issue. That is the problem.My Request:
Do not use Windows notification feature to relay reminders to the user, instead build that functionality into the Proton Windows app and enable reminders that remain visible until manually dismissed. The Microsoft Outlook application behaves this way and that is best.How to Confirm Windows Behavior:
Windows10 > Settings > Ease of Access > Dismiss notifications after this amount of time
Windows does not offer the option of "Display until manually Dismissed".
The longest time they offer is 5 minutes. Windows11 is the same.Problem Description:

Allow customisation of Proton Calendar display (font etc) and other things - my top 5!
I think it's new, I cannot find any customisation of fonts for calendar app on iOS...
Having used CalenGoo for Google calendar, and now migrating away from Google, I can only strongly suggest to look at the depth of customisation that CalenGoo offers over even the native Google Calendar app.
Highlights for me, not exhaustive:
- customisation of font size, bold/italics etc., style, colour: important to allow more to show in the week and particular month view (my preferred view)
- display time at the start of a scheduled meeting in month view, not just 5 or 6 letters
- a proper search function (with indexing on device prior to encryption)
- general display alterations/customisation (for example, why not allow display of "August 2025" at the top, not just "August", which could be any year...)
- an easy copy/paste function for regularly recurring events where only date/time changes, not the content of the event
This is only a list of my most liked highlights.

Send & archive
It's really hard to use the inbox 0 approach when you can't switch the "Send" button over to "Send & Archive". It's very easy to implement and a really essential feature I'm extremely surprised to find missing.

"Sender contains" filter
When I create a filter and try to use "Sender Contains", it seems proton is looking for the actual email address and not even looking at the sender's display name.
For example, I have an email from "xyz store", but the email is "mail@sendfoxmail.com". My filter says if "Sender Contains" "xyz store" then move it to "abc Folder".
However, since Proton is not looking at the Display name, it does not apply the filter.
Desired solution: Proton looks at the sender's email address AND Sender's display name.

Allow minimizing/collapsing of Proton Mail desktop app navigation bar on the left
I like using the "Column" view setting in the Proton Mail desktop application but the navigation bar on the left side of the app (where you select Inbox, Drafts, Sent, etc.) encroaches on the usable viewing area when trying to view emails. I use Windows 11 and like to "snap" my email application on the left half of my screen. Allowing minimizing/collapsing of this bar (similar to how Outlook allows this) would grant additional viewing space for emails.

View Starred / Favourite Contacts
Proton Mail for Web should allow marking individual contacts as "Starred" or "Favourite".
Coinciding with that, the Contacts pane should have a "Starred" or "Favourites" tab in addition to "Contacts" and "Groups".
Although this is not a critical feature, there are already at least two good reasons for it:
All of the extra encrypted fields in Contacts makes Proton Mail a good place not just to store your e-mail contacts, but your entire address book, including phone numbers, mailing addresses, birthdates (etc). However, this leads to the addition of many seldom-used entries that one doesn't necessarily need or want to see on the main list.
If "Automatically Save Contacts" is turned ON (which seems to be the default), the "Starred / Favourites" view will remain clean. I personally turned this feature OFF because I didn't want additional automatically-added Contacts entries clogging up my address book, but would have left it enabled if the feature I'm proposing existed.
In the Proton Mail for ANDROID app: if the intention is to continue showing all contacts and groups in a single consolidated list, the starred / favourite ones could simply sort to the top.

Automatic time parsing for new calendar events
When creating a new event in the calendar, any time written in the event header should automatically be put as the time for the event. The given time should then be removed from the header of the event.
Example #1: If an event is made with the header "Hairdressers 17:15" then the starting time for the event should be automatically set to 17:15 (on 24H systems) with a standard duration time of 1 hour. The header for the event in the calendar should then be just "Hairdressers" with the given starting time.
Example #2: Similarily, if an event is made with the event header "Meeting 12-14", then the event should automatically get the starting time of 12:00 and end at 14:00. The header for the event in the calendar should just be "Meeting".

Auto-correct spellcheck in message composition
Apple and Gmail both have seamless and intuitive auto-correct spellcheck. Proton simply highlights misspelled word but does not correct or even offer correction options.
