Ability to change calendar used for events in mails
When I receive an event invite through email, I only have the option to add it to my main calendar. This is really unhelpful, as I want to keep the events of my different email addresses separated into different calendars.
I even created a new calendar and set one of the addresses as the default, but an event sent to that address still won't end up in that calendar.I generally like the "one inbox for everything" model of Proton Mail, but if that means that we lose functionality like this or the general ability to keep things separated, it's a major hindrance.
So either allow me to select a calendar in the email event or at least make it so the default email of a calendar is respected.

RSVP functionality
I'd like to see the ability to RSVP (Respondez s'il vous plait) to events. This would allow me to easily indicate my attendance (Yes, No, Maybe) to event organizers, similar to how it works in other calendar applications.

Windows notification click switches folder to Inbox instead of keeping current folder
In the Windows app, when a folder like All Mail is open and a new email notification appears, clicking the Windows notification opens the email but also switches the view to the Inbox. This disrupts workflow when working inside All Mail, where the same email is already visible.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open the app on Windows
- Navigate to the All Mail folder
- Receive a new email
- Click the Windows notification for that email
Expected Behavior
The email opens in the reading pane without changing the currently open folder (stay in All Mail).Actual Behavior
The app switches the view to the Inbox and opens the email there.Notes
The logic of switching to the folder containing the email makes sense in general, but All Mail already includes the email. Excluding All Mail from this behavior would preserve context and avoid resetting the working state.In the Windows app, when a folder like All Mail is open and a new email notification appears, clicking the Windows notification opens the email but also switches the view to the Inbox.

Add a specific download folder for attachments in the settings, along with restriction (e.g., NAS, Proton Drive, Sandbox)
Currently, Proton Mail doesn't allow users to define a specific download folder for attachments, nor to apply restrictions to them.
However, email remains the primary vector for phishing and malware, with increasingly sophisticated attacks (social engineering, credible content, AI).
The ability to force attachments to be downloaded to a dedicated folder (local, NAS, sandbox, VM) would significantly reduce risks, removing the human element from security alone.
Such a feature would be particularly useful for advanced users, hybrid environments, or professional use cases, and would integrate seamlessly with the filters and aliases already present in Proton Mail.
This would further strengthen Proton's position as a security-oriented solution by default, not just for encryption.
In addition, Proton already provides Proton Drive, which would be a natural and highly valuable option as a default or selectable destination for attachments.

Allow for a 2 or 3 week calendar view. With 3-6 entries on each day, showing a month long layout w/ few items visible isn't helpful. Thanks!
Please allow for a 2 or 3 week view in the calendar. When there are many entries each day, showing a month long (4-5 wk) layout where only a few items per day are visible isn't very helpful. We only see a bunch of bullets (not all but a few) that show a few words. Allowing users to see 2 or 3 weeks at a time would allows the cells to fully populate and see all the bullets. Thanks!

Make the ICS feed live or nearly so! Every 4 hours is really too outdated:(
The current ICS feed is only updated every approx. 4 hours as per customer service.
While I understand this is “by design”, this means we cannot share an updated view of our calendar and risk overbooking etc which can be very impacting for work.
I have now spent several weeks trying to set up a booking system and it is really problematic.
Being able to share an up to date calendar is really important nowadays.

When utilizing your services great harm is being caused when our alternative emails that are created via the subscription plan which allows the option for multiple emails to be created are disabled whenever the subscription isn't renewed after your grace period has concluded. We as account holder's rely on your service platform for vital communications via medical, business, personal; etc. When your platform disables our created emails not the primary email because that email isn't an alias email. I'm referencing the created allowed emails that has the feature to send and receive communications only not the aliases that aren't currently allowed to send a correspondence email when utilizing the alias feature. Proton makes it about monetary gain rather than stewardship in providing services universally. Organically speaking, if the approach was to provide a quality service the disabling of communications would not have been an option of choice to use when subscription plans aren't renewed. We need to not have any of our emails disabled where we can't receive communications of any and all emails. Have where we can't send any email correspondence due to not renewing said payment for plan of choice. We need this disabling of emails due to non-payment to immediately be removed due to the harm it causes when not able to receive any communications via emails.

Manage Email Expiration Dates in Proton Mail
Introduction
When receiving marketing emails, I want to be able to identify messages with expiration dates, especially those that have already expired, in order to effectively declutter my inbox and actively contribute to reducing the ecological impact associated with storing these expired messages.
Problem and Context
The "Email Expiration Date" project aims to reduce the environmental impact of commercial emails by facilitating the deletion of outdated messages. Currently, email clients lack integrated tools to effectively manage the deletion of emails sent by advertisers who have set an expiration date. Implementing this feature in email clients would provide users with effective cleanup tools based on email expiration dates.
For more information about the project and the proposed standard, please refer to:
- "Email Expiration Date" project site: https://www.zerocarbon.email/
- Internet standard draft published at the IETF: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mailmaint-expires/
User Benefits
Integrating this feature would allow users to more easily clean up their inboxes by automatically deleting expired messages they are unlikely to read. With just one or two clicks, they could remove hundreds of unnecessary messages, improving email management efficiency and contributing to the reduction of the carbon footprint associated with email storage (see Ressources section).
Implementation Proposal
We are considering several options for implementing this feature:
- Search Option: Add a search option to find all expired messages in an email inbox. Users can then simply delete the messages if they wish.
- Virtual Folder/Tab: Create a virtual folder (or tab) listing all expired emails, offering the user the option to delete them with a single click.
- Expired Message Alert: Display an alert whenever more than xx expired messages are present in the email inbox, offering the user the option to delete them with a single click.
- Automatic Deletion: Allow the email client to automatically delete expired emails from a given sender from a displayed email. In this case, it is essential to obtain the user's explicit consent so that no emails are deleted without their authorization.
- Preference Center : Show the complete list of bulk email senders to the user. In this list, they can enable or disable automatic email deletion according to their preferences (and unsubscribe via List-Unsubscribe).
What we propose not to do:
- Individual expiration notifications: It is not recommended to create individual alert messages for each expired message. In addition to generating too many alerts, some spammers (and marketers) could take advantage of this to generate notifications using expiration dates.
Options and Settings
To ensure this feature is flexible and respectful of user preferences, the following options should be available:
- The ability to prevent the email client from deleting emails from certain senders via a list of senders not to be deleted.
- An option to add a sender to this list from the email reading screen.
- The ability to disable cleanup tools based on expiration dates, although the feature should ideally be enabled by default for any new installation of the email client or after the update adding this feature.
Challenges and Considerations
It is crucial that this feature be discussed within the community to anticipate and address potential challenges. For example, measures must be taken to prevent the malicious use of expiration dates, such as dates set before the email is sent or just a few hours after sending. The user must always remain in control of deleting emails in their inbox.
Priority
Given the climate emergency and the importance of reducing the environmental impact of technology, we request that this feature be considered a high priority. Every technology must adapt to minimize its environmental impact.
Usage and Adoption
Currently, only a small number of mass emails have an expiration date. According to a study by Orange in France, as of May 2024, about 5% of emails have an expiration date (source: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jonathanloriaux_orange-email-expiration-date-activity-7211730790152306689-AscM).
This is mainly due to the difficulty of enforcing an evolution of an internet standard. Although mass senders are very interested in deploying expiration dates in their emails, few sending platforms allow the addition of SMTP “Expires:” headers, and no major Mailbox Provider has implemented the technology.
Therefore, it is essential that the entire ecosystem (mass senders, mass email sending solutions, and email clients) advances to make this project a reality.
Wireframes
These wireframes are examples of what the functionality could look like in existing email clients. We will progressively add more examples.
See the wireframes here : https://www.zerocarbon.email/documentation/feature-email-expiration-email-clients/
Additional Comments
Expiration dates in emails are mainly intended for mass emails. At this stage, it does not seem relevant to allow an email client user to set an expiration date for emails they send.

PDF viewer in Android ProtonMail app, with easy save to ProtonDrive
Completed request 7808634 was for pdf preview, which of course works in ProtonMail Windows app, and also in ProtonDrive Android.
But in ProtonMail Android, although I've updated to latest version, the "Open With" for pdf attachments doesn't offer me an integrated Proton pdf viewer.
Only 3rd party ones, including Google Drive and Dropbox... giving me a quick workflow to save recieved pdfs into Dropbox. But of course I'd like my default cloud to be ProtonDrive!4 votes -

Allow to print email thread
In an email thread, it seems that to print the conversation, one would need to print each email individually. It would be easier and also more economic to have a print view and button for the whole thread (perhaps similar to how Gmail solves this).

Trafft Integration
I use Trafft as my booking system. It relies on an integration with Google calendar in order to check if I'm free for appointments. It's a 2 way system, so Trafft can read my Google calendar, and also write new appointments to it. This isn't possible with Proton, which is why my calendars are still with Google. I'd love to move them. Can you make this happen?
