Allow >3 Connected Accounts
The new Gmail connection feature is fantastic. Being able to receive and send Gmail messages directly from Proton makes it much easier to use Proton as my primary email client.
However, I quickly ran into the limit of 3 connected Gmail accounts. After connecting my primary account and a few secondary accounts, I was unable to add a fourth without disconnecting an existing one.
While users with more than three Gmail accounts may be a minority, many power users maintain multiple personal, project, or legacy accounts. This limit prevents some of us from fully consolidating our email workflow within Proton and still requires occasional trips back to Gmail.
I'd love to see the limit increased, removed, or expanded for higher subscription tiers.

Per-event free/busy status toggle in Proton Calendar (essential for appointment scheduling)
Currently, Proton Calendar only allows busy/free status sharing as an all-or-nothing, calendar-level setting. There is no way to mark individual events as "free" or "busy" on a per-event basis — a feature that exists in Google Calendar, Outlook, and most major calendar applications.
This limitation creates a significant functional gap in Proton Calendar's appointment scheduling feature.
The Problem:
When a user creates a public booking page, Proton Calendar determines available slots based on whether any event exists on the calendar at a given time. Without per-event free/busy control, this leads to inaccurate availability representation:Scenario 1 — Over-blocking: A user has a personal commitment (e.g., gym, lunch, flexible errand) that they'd be willing to reschedule if a client needs that time slot. Because it appears as an event on the calendar, the booking page marks that time as unavailable — even though the user would accept a booking there. The only workaround is deleting the event entirely, losing the reminder and context.
Scenario 2 — Under-blocking: A user wants to reserve "focus time" or hold tentative blocks without making them hard commitments, but still allow trusted colleagues to book over them if urgent. Currently there's no way to mark these as "free" while keeping them visible on the calendar.
What's Needed - Add a per-event toggle in the event creation/editing dialog — similar to Google Calendar's "Show as: Busy / Free" dropdown — that allows users to:
Mark individual events as "Free" so they don't block availability on booking pages or shared busy status, while still appearing on the user's own calendar for reference
Mark individual events as "Busy" so they do block availability (default behavior)
Optionally support additional statuses (Tentative, Out of Office) for even more nuanced scheduling
Why This Matters:
Appointment scheduling is less useful without it. Real-life schedules include flexible, movable, or low-priority commitments. Without per-event control, booking pages can't accurately reflect a user's true availability.
Privacy-conscious professionals need this. Many Proton users are freelancers, consultants, therapists, lawyers, or small business owners who blend personal and professional calendars. Per-event free/busy control is essential for managing that blend without compromising privacy or convenience.
Competitors already offer this. Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar, and Fastmail all support per-event free/busy status. Proton Calendar should match this baseline functionality to be a viable alternative.
Use Cases:
- A consultant blocks a lunch break but would move it for a paying client
- A therapist holds tentative appointment slots that may open up
- A freelancer marks gym time as "free" so booking pages show availability
- A team lead reserves focus time but allows override for urgent meetingsPlease add per-event free/busy status control to Proton Calendar — it would significantly improve both the core calendar experience and the appointment scheduling workflow.

video call integrations should hold up to privacy standards of proton
"Zoom has been criticized for its privacy and corporate data sharing policies, as well as for enabling video hosts to potentially violate the privacy of those participating in their calls." From Wikipedia.
There are plenty open source and privacy conscience alternatives!

Option to set a default startup folder (e.g., "All Mail") on the mobile app
I would like to request a setting in the mobile app that allows users to choose which folder opens by default when launching the app, rather than being forced to start in the main "Inbox."
My Use Case:
I heavily utilise Proton's filtering rules to sort emails from my various addresses into different custom folders. Because these filters route mail away from the main Inbox, my Inbox is often empty. To actually see my new mail, I have to manually navigate to the "All Mail" tab every single time I open the app.Adding a simple toggle in the settings to select a "Default Startup Folder" (such as All Mail, Starred, or a specific custom folder) would eliminate these unnecessary extra taps and be a huge quality-of-life improvement for power users who rely on custom filtering.
Thank you!

calendar event colors
We desperately need more color options for proton calendar events! There are 6 nearly identical blues and zero reds or yellows! I understand this is optimized for dark mode but it makes light mode very visually unappealing. I use multiple calendars for each of my kinds of tasks and this keeps them from looking as visually distinct as google calendar.

Snooze Sent Mail
In Gmail, you can snooze any messages, including those that are sent. It would be great to have this feature in Proton Mail. I use it to ensure I follow up on emails I have sent and have not received a response by a certain time.

Paid XLS to VCF Converter vs Free tools - what is worth it?
I often need to convert large Excel (XLS/XLSX) contact lists to VCF (vCard) files for use on multiple devices. I have come across both paid XLS to VCF converters and free online tools. I am confused about which option is really worth it. Are paid converters significantly better in terms of features, speed, and reliability? Or are free tools sufficient for most situations? I need something reliable for offline use, with batch processing and no risk of data loss.

adding docs directly from proton mail to proton drive
It's good to have the option to add attachment docs directly from proton mail to proton drive using a simple click on the proton mail; since right now I have to download it on my computer or my tablet or my cellphone and then upload it into proton drive to review it, save it or even edit it (if it is docs or sheets).

booking page extends endlessly into the future - a definable limit is essential
The ability to customize the booking preview (e.g., 1, 2, 3, etc. months) gives you the flexibility to modify unavailable periods (for vacations, etc.) in the future. No one wants to see bookings 10 years from now, and certainly not without approval, see https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/284483-proton-mail-calendar/suggestions/51229348-booking-page-add-option-to-approve-booking

Resize New Message/Composer Window
Allow the user to resize and position the new message window. You can do this in Apple Mail. You resize and position it once and then it opens that way from then on. Composer/Normal is too small and too far to the right. Composer/Maximized is too big and too far to the left. Or add a third Composer medium/center option.
Also when you minimze the mail window the new message window should be there so you can more easily drag and drop photos and documents from your desktop into the message. (It works this way in Apple Mail.)

Secure translate tool inside protonmail
Translating messages is often a security issue as user have no idea of the sensitivity of a message (because they cannot read it!) and copy and paste into an online service like google translate.
It would be fantastic in protonmail implemented a secure (on device?) translation service inside the protonmail apps. Maybe utilising your AI lumo?

Group Alias or Shared Account
Current Limitation: Currently, Proton Mail does not allow a single custom email address (alias) to be assigned to multiple user accounts within a Family or Duo plan. When an administrator creates an alias (e.g., info@myfamily.com or support@mybusiness.com), it can only be assigned to one specific user.
This forces users into inefficient workarounds:
Manual Forwarding: One person owns the alias and must set up filters to forward mail to others. This breaks the "shared inbox" experience, as replies come from the individual's address, not the group address, and there is no central view of the conversation history.
No Collaboration: Multiple team members cannot log in to the same mailbox to manage tickets, customer inquiries, or family correspondence simultaneously.
The Request: I am requesting the addition of a Native Group Alias or Shared Inbox feature for Proton Family and Proton for Business plans.Desired Functionality:
Multi-User Assignment: Allow an administrator to create an alias (e.g., team@domain.com) and assign it to multiple user accounts simultaneously.
Shared Inbox View: When any assigned user logs in, they should see emails sent to this alias in a dedicated folder or shared view, alongside their personal mail.
Unified Sending: Allow any assigned user to "Send As" the group alias, ensuring replies come from the group address (e.g., team@domain.com) rather than the individual's personal address.
Conversation Sync: Ensure that if User A replies to a thread, User B sees that reply in the shared view, maintaining a single conversation history.
Why This Matters: This is a critical feature for:Small Businesses: Teams need to manage support@, sales@, or info@ addresses without relying on a single "owner" account.
Families: Families managing a shared household email (e.g., vacation@, school@) need all members to see and respond to messages without forwarding chains.
Competitiveness: Competitors like Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 offer "Shared Mailboxes" and "Distribution Groups" as standard features. The lack of this capability is a significant barrier for small businesses considering migrating to Proton.
Conclusion: While the current workaround of manual forwarding exists, it is clunky and lacks the collaborative features necessary for professional or shared household use. Adding native support for group aliases would significantly enhance Proton's utility for teams and families.Thank you for considering this request.

Using Proton Calendar for Better Daily and Meal Planning
I really appreciate how Proton Mail Calendar continues to improve usability and organization — having a reliable calendar that syncs across devices makes planning my day so much easier. I often schedule everything from work tasks to meal planning, and it’s handy to have reminders for everything.
On days when I’m planning out lunch or dinner with friends, having access to clear resources online makes that part of my schedule easier too. For example, when ordering takeout or deciding on group meals, I like to check out the Wingstop Menu to compare flavors, combos, and options before finalizing plans. If anyone else here enjoys planning meals ahead of time or wants to see a detailed breakdown of Wingstop items and flavors, you can check out the https://wingstopmenus.us/ Wingstop Menu.
Thanks again to the Proton Mail team for consistently enhancing Calendar features — it really helps with both work and life planning!

Appointment scheduling - richer features
The new appointment scheduling is a great addition to the Proton Suite! However I agree with some other suggestions here that there are a few features lacking at the time of launch.
Here are a some things I find missing that would be great additions, that I haven't already found suggestions for:
Larger selection of appointment duration (e.g 15 min, 20 min, 40 min, etc), or custom input
More choices on "How far in advance can someone book?", or custom input
Ability to customise the content of the confirmation email would be great
Have the subject of the confirmation email be the name of the appointment they booked:
Let's say my booking page is called "Consultation", the subject of the confirmation email should be "Invitation for Consultation starting on [date] at [time]" instead of "an event"
Here are the other suggestions I've found interesting that you might want to vote on (hope I'm allowed to link them like this) :

Offline mode for mobile
Please allow the app to perform offline operations (read any and all inbox email, delete, write and send emails), which will be queued for syncing whenever online. Same for calendar events.
As it is now, any email sending/deleting, calendar event creation etc will FAIL if the phone happens to be disconnecting from wifi, changing networks or any of the thousands of possibilities of a mobile device moving around at all times. Any other Android email client knows to queue these tasks offline (ie, gmail OUTBOX folder), and sync them with the server at any available time it manages to connect, or keep trying until it does (and not throwing a FAILED error, trashing all the text you wrote).

Add to Calendar option in the email context menu to quickly create events
Dear Proton Mail Product Team,
Thank you for the continued development of Proton Mail and Proton Calendar. Your commitment to privacy and user-centric features is greatly appreciated.
I would like to request a feature that would streamline productivity and organization within the Proton ecosystem: the ability to add an email to Proton Calendar directly from the context menu in all apps.
Specifically:
• When right-clicking (or tapping the options menu) on an email in the inbox, or when viewing an open email, there should be an option to “Add to Calendar”
• This action would create a new calendar event pre-filled with the email’s subject as the event title, and the email body or a link to it in the description
• Optionally, it could detect and pre-fill suggested times or dates from the email contentThis small addition would greatly improve email-to-calendar workflows, helping users quickly convert information into actionable events without having to copy and paste manually.
This kind of integration is increasingly expected in modern productivity tools and would help bring Proton’s suite closer to parity with major providers, while maintaining your superior privacy standards.
Thank you for considering this feature. I believe many users would find it incredibly useful for daily organization and planning.

Block off unavailable days across all booking pages
Use case: I have multiple booking pages in Proton Cal. I am traveling out of town for 9 days. How do I quickly tell my booking pages to block off that 9 day period as unavailable? There's currently no way I can see how to turn off days other than creating events to block out that time.
Booking all day events for 9 days would be annoying, and what if I go away for a month? Then I'd need to create 30 all day events? Would be good to have a button built into the calendar maybe close to booking pages to manage days you are unavailable. You'd click the button, a calendar view opens up, where you can toggle on or off days as unavailable days. You could also setup reoccurring unavailable windows (example: I'm unavailable every other week, or on the 25th day of every month, or every 3rd week of the month from tuesday to friday etc). The calendar view would communicate the global state of all available/unavailable days (for example: any unavailable days could have red circles around the date in the viewer).
