Calendar Day View Popup
It would be nice to allow for a popup view of the events for the day (similar to Samsung's default calendar app). For example, if I have my calendar in month view but I click on one of the days in that month, a popup with the events for that day appears. You also have the option to hit the "+" button to add events for that day (taken to the event entry screen) or just tap away from the popup to return back the the calendar view (month view in my case).
Here is an example: https://techwiser.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Samsung-Calendar-Event-Open.jpg (from this page: https://techwiser.com/how-to-sync-samsung-calendar-to-google-calendar-or-vice-versa/)
Right now, in Proton Calendar when you tap a date from the month view, the day view takes up the entire screen and you have to hit back "<" on the phone to get back to your original view (month in my case). It's not terrible but the popup is cleaner and more convenient.

Multiple same emails grouped together limit
Add a toggle so you can adjust the amount of the same emails being grouped together, before another group of the same emails are created. As far as i can tell, the limit is 100, then a new group is made.

Remember last used account
I have more than one protonmail account (some for voluntary work and a private one for myself).
When I go to protonmail.com, then I'm automatically logged in to the first account (it seems they're sorted alphabetically).
I then switch account, read / write some mails, and close the window.
Later, when I come back, I am again logged into the first account, not the one I used last.
It would be more convenient if I was logged into the last used account.
Bonus feature: Some users might want to always be logged into a default account. You could make it an option to be logged into a certain account always or the last used account.Off-topic: It's way too difficult to give feedback.
1: You enter the subject, thinking that this is the entire message, and you don't want to click the button to post a new topic, because it's not your entire message.
2: When you're about finished writing your message, you find out that you need to register an account to post - you can't use your Protonmail login; eg. you need to create a new login with different password rules, so you'll want to save the message you've written (copy-and-paste), before you register
3: After registering, you need to sign in again. This could have been done automatically when you've confirmed your email address.I have more than one protonmail account (some for voluntary work and a private one for myself).

Proton Mail Business: Journal Inbox for Compliance
Proton's stronger cryptography makes it more difficult to meet certain compliance standards that require retention policies and auditability.
There is a deleted thread about being compliant with the German GoBD which applies to most German Businesses. [https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/284483-proton-mail/suggestions/46327108-gobd-conformant-archiving-for-business-accountsl] [https://ao.bundesfinanzministerium.de/ao/2023/Anhaenge/BMF-Schreiben-und-gleichlautende-Laendererlasse/Anhang-64/inhalt.html]
Of couse implementing a country specific legal framework is probably out of scope for Proton Mail.
But a lot of solutions can be integrated by having a 'Journal Inbox' which receives a copy of every incoming and outgoing message.
These are available in many other Business Email products:
– Exchange Server: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/policy-and-compliance/journaling/journaling
– MS365: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/policy-and-compliance/journaling/journaling
– Google Workspace: https://support.google.com/a/answer/7276605?hl=enThis should be a lot less work than GoBD and would open the German market as well as other markets or industries that need such a feature for their compliance.

Add switch to prevent trash emails being sorted
When adding a new filter and "applying to all", it sweeps up previously deleted emails. Add a switch to the filter creation to explicitly exclude Trash during filter creation. Clearly any new mail will filter correctly once the filter is set up.

Highlight last read message in email list
Highlight the message last read in mail list. This way, if there are several messages with the same subject etc., you know which in the list you are returning from.

Add a Proton-specific bank or sounds that can be played when specific senders send emails, or when other criteria are met.
Add a Proton-specific bank of sounds that can be pre-selected to be played when specific senders send emails, or when other criteria are met. User uploaded additions to the list should also be permitted within user accounts. Explore similar rule-triggered flash-screen or pop-up options to accompany sounds or to operate silently. And of course, don't forget the quick pull-down on-off toggle switch!

All Mail (User Defined)
Instead of only having the option to exclude Spam and Trash from ALL MAIL, have every folder listed in settings with on off switches to include or exclude each folder in/from ALL MAIL.

Disappearing Calendar Events
In messaging contexts, it is well accepted that there may be times where you want to use disappearing messages, even despite the fact that your messenger (i.e. Signal) provides a secure, e2ee platform. Ultimately, this is because those messages, for whatever reason, are not worth keeping around past a certain point. And in many activist communities, messages or group chats could be used to correlate activity, attribute actions, or perform social network mapping. People then decide that the safest thing is to let those messages disappear to reduce the potential impact of a future "breach" of one participants' device.
Calendar events can be very sensitive, too. They can give times, dates, locations, and lists of people all attending a common event. Why do they need to stick around forever? Most users are never going to wonder "what meetings did I have on this day two years ago?". While at the moment, an enterprising privacy advocate could go back through their calendar and remove long-expired events, that current process would be tedious and time consuming. Why not just take a page from the messaging apps of the world, and allow calendar events to be defined with expiration times? When a user makes an event, they can say "it's at this place, at this time, and in 6 months, this event will delete itself from my calendar".

Calendar pane dedicated column instead of overlay
When in the web view of Proton Mail, you can show the calendar by clicking the icon on the right side of the screen. The problem is, this causes the calendar to overlay all the controls on the right side of the screen. For users that'd just want their "today" view open all day, this is annoying as it prevents use of those controls. Instead of overlaying these controls (bad UX), the calendar column should just push the mail UI to the left while it is open.

Add hotkeys to switching between day, week & month view
Sort of like Google calendar, it would be great if on my keyboard if I could just press "d", "w" or "m" to switch between day week & month views.
Similar to how pressing "/" opens up search!

Please allow us to deactivate aliases from the proton mail web interface!
When I want to deactivate a compromised alias, I have to do it through Proton Pass. It would be really nice to be able to do it from the Proton Mail interface.

Keep the subject visible in long conversations
I tend to open a new message and sometimes forget the context so I have to jump to the top to read the subject.
This happens mostly with GitHub issue notifications.4 votes -

e.g., by alphanum sorting (instead of sorted on creation time) and/or by drag&drop.

Make Proton Mail follow the "Cache Directory Tagging Standard"
If it's possible, it would be useful to follow the "Cache Directory Tagging Standard" in Proton Mail, so any directory containing a CACHEDIR.TAG file will be skipped from backups.
If cache data it's not necessary I don't see a reason to backup it;
The CACHEDIR.TAG file helps tools like Restic to exclude certain cache dirs2 votes -
I have filters and folders for multiple emails. When I receive mail addressed to more than one email, I need then to go in each folder.
I have filters and folders set up for multiple emails. When I receive mail addressed to more than one of my emails in the same account, it ends up going to the folder associated with the last filter. I need the email to go in each folder.

Alert new senders on inbox
If a sender never emailed me before, the UI could display a tooltip or an icon alerting me as such.
How would this help? If someone from npmjs.help is emailing me about a 2-factor authentication update, if I am alerted that it is the first time that email address is sending me emails, I am going to think twice before clicking it.
Important! Let's make it the first time they are emailing me in my inbox (in case they sent an email with the purpose of arriving at my junk folder and, a few months later, send another email that arrives in my inbox, which would bypass this system).
