Automatic merge of a free Proton account into a paid one (recover old @proton.me address)
Dear Proton Team,
I just upgraded to Proton Unlimited and, like many long-time users, my main address is still stuck on an old free account.
The current manual process (support → delete free account → manually re-add the address) is painful and causes permanent data loss.
Please add a long-requested feature:
Self-service merge of a free Proton account into an existing paid account
Desired flow:In the paid account → Settings → Identities & addresses → “Import old Proton address”
Secure authentication on the free account (password + 2FA)
The old address is automatically added as an additional address/alias in the paid plan
User choice:
– Keep all emails and folders from the old account (full merge) OR
– Only recover the address (delete free account after migration)This would:
Drastically reduce support tickets (this is the #1 request on Reddit/Proton community)
Remove a major barrier to upgrading to paid plans
Bring Proton on par (or ahead) of competitors like Tuta and FastmailThousands of us are waiting for this. It would be a game-changer.
Thank you for considering!Dear Proton Team,

Extended notifications
Even if it may be a privacy issue, there's should be an option to enable extended notifications: notification should display a summary or the initial text in email body, to be able to dismiss or delete email without opening the app. This is especially useful with wearable device.

Filter Based On Environment
It would be greatly appreciated if there was the ability to filter existing emails based on environment with a custom sieve filter. There are a number of reasons why this could benefit everyone trying to organize their emails as they adapt into Proton Mail.
Here are my issues with not having this ability:
Importing a large batch of emails with Easy Switch usually calls for manually applying filters to existing mail.
This means all my emails in the trash are relabeled and clutter my label filters. I now have to either delete the trash permanently or move the emails out and back into the trash to remove the labels again.This problem extends to my archived mail. I don't want to relabel them after they have just been sorted into the archive. Not having the ability to avoid labeling these adds them back into the "unarchived" labels I just removed.
I know that this is possible because it is provided by default to avoid the spam inbox. This concept should really be expanded upon.
environment :matches "vnd.proton.spam-threshold" "*",
spamtest :value "ge" :comparator "i;ascii-numeric" "${1}"
Some extra details, I don't use custom folders at all and only custom labels. This is due to the fact that the ability to have a combined inbox is lost if you use folders. All mail is not sufficient because that includes sent mail and archived mail which isn't the same as a combined inbox. I think it would be beneficial to include the ability to exclude archived mail from other inboxes just like you can with trash and spam. The above labeling issue could also be resolved with having the ability to remove archived or trash/spam mail from a label filter.
I don't want all this, just looking for anyway to keep archive mail in the archive only and trash in the trash only. This includes out of other labels.

Add color to event based on #tag in event title or body
I'd like to define tags or keywords and associate them with a color in my calendar. For example if I have a calendar entry that has the title "Drop off #kids" it would be colored green because of the tag #kids. If there is an entry such as "#meeting for lunch with Silvio" it would be colored yellow because of #meeting and so on.
The tags could be in the title or in the body.This would also allow a very easy synchronization of colors for shared calendars, because you only have to share the coloring rules for each party and then the colors are applied automatically.

Disable Archive, Delete is Delete
Deleted mail now ends up in Archive which means additional effort to delete it again, Archive should be a Users choice and frankly should be considered like any other user defined folder. It's simple a place to put an email that you don't want to delete and frankly the user should create rules for what goes into folders. In a nut shell, I don't agree with the whole concept of a Mail app managing the users mail, the User should be the one controlling what happens with the mail. Anything beyond that should be a option the user must enable to use. One day finding out deleted mail is now in Archive and yet another thing to manage? Newsletter is another, now the user has to remove things that they never wanted collected. features are great if it is what the user wants, but should not be blindly enabled.

Preserve Reverse Alias When Forwarding Your Own Sent Messages
When an email is sent via a reverse alias, forwarding that same message (e.g., to add a missed recipient) reveals the sender’s real Proton Mail address instead of the alias. Users must manually edit the forwarded message to hide their real address, which is easy to forget and defeats the privacy purpose of reverse aliases.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Create a reverse alias (e.g., alias@protonmail.com).
- Compose and send an email to Recipient A using that alias.
- Realize you omitted Recipient B and click Forward on the sent message.
- In the compose window, add Recipient B and send.
- The forwarded email’s From/Reply‑To header now shows your primary Proton Mail address, not the alias.
Expected Behavior:
When forwarding a message that you originally sent using a reverse alias, the forwarded email should automatically retain the alias in the From/Reply‑To fields, keeping your real address hidden without any extra effort.
Suggested Solution:- Automatic Alias Retention for Forwarded Sent Mail
- Detect that the message being forwarded originated from a reverse alias.
When the user forwards that message, pre‑populate the From and Reply‑To fields with the original alias.
Show a non‑intrusive indicator (e.g., “Forwarding using reverse alias”) so the user knows the alias is being used.
Optional User Preference (under Settings → Aliases → Forwarding)
“Preserve reverse alias when forwarding my own sent messages” (ON by default).Allow advanced users to disable the behavior if they intentionally want the real address shown.
Thank you in advance

Client-Side Filtering to Enable Full Header Encryption
ProtonMail utilizes End-to-End Encryption (E2EE) for email bodies, though metadata and headers currently remain unencrypted to facilitate server-side filtering (I assume). This architecture allows the server to instantly sort incoming messages into folders, apply labels, manage expiration dates, or discard emails based on user-defined rules.
A potential enhancement to this system involves implementing content-based filtering. While server-side analysis of encrypted bodies is technically unfeasible due to the E2EE protocol, filtering could be offloaded to the client side. Once a user logs in and the client decrypts the message locally, the application could execute comprehensive filtering rules and synchronize the resulting organizational changes back to the remote servers.
Furthermore, transitioning to client-side filtering offers a significant security advantage: it enables the hardening of server-side storage. By removing the server's need to access headers for routing, Proton could implement full-message encryption (headers and body).

Block sender without opening the email
Opening suspicious messages shouldn't be necessary to block the sender, hate doing that.
A 'block sender' button at the top would be great next to 'move to spam' and 'delete'.

Additional Snooze choices
Please consider extending the options to snooze emails. I use an Outlook plugin that offers me many choices and I use these all the time, every day. This is the only blocker than stops me moving from Outlook to Proton Mail entirely and it's terribly frustrating that the list of options cannot be added (seems like a rather basic feature request).
The options I have with the Outlook add-on include (via one simple dropdown)...
Tomorrow Morning / Tomorrow Afternoon
Minutes; 15 / 30
Hours: 1 / 2 / 4 / 8
Days From Now: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 (with the day of the week listed, as a visual cue)
Weeks: 1 / 2 / 4
CustomThank you.

Add the ability to delete emails only from a specific group
Add the option, when clicking to delete a group, to also delete the email addresses in that group. Why is this necessary? First, it is a common option in many other contact managers. Second, there are times where contacts are being sourced elsewhere and periodically refreshed via importing from that other source. Currently, the only option is to manually search for every email that is in that group and delete them individually. This is very, very inconvenient.

Support older MacOS versions (e.g. Mojave 10.14.6)
Is it possible to support older OS versions with a desktop app? Even a reduced feature set would be fine.
My OS version is MacOS Mojave 10.14.6 for several reasons (stability, performance, etc.).
I still like the convenience of a desktop app to handle my various email addresses for quick access (versus web interface).

Hard wrap lines at custom widths
When writing plain text email, I typically want (or sometimes need) to enforce a maximum line length/column width in my email to ensure it is easily readable. Most commonly this is 72-80 columns, but can occasionally vary to 100-120 columns. To my knowledge, Proton Mail doesn't provide a way to hard wrap lines in this manner. So I currently have to write these emails in a separate text editor which does hard wrap lines before copy-pasting it into Proton Mail.
This is obviously quite tedious, and it would be a lot easier if Proton Mail included this feature. Perhaps there could be a setting which sets the default column width at which lines would hard wrap. And options to adjust or enable/disable it when writing a particular plain text email.

Backup & Restore
t's too bad that ProtonMail doesn't have a GUI Backup & Recovery
Tool, instead of having to recover and install backup messages
using the Terminal and DOS or Bridge which makes it more difficult and tedious.I had no problem saving messages backup as .eml files to ProtonDrive as
a backup; restoring and importing backup messages back into ProtonMail
should be just as easy.ProtonMail should have a more intuitive way to restore and import backup
messages back into ProtonMail.6 votes -
Make importing .VCF files easier to find
Make importing .VCF files easier to find. I can never remember how to do this, and it's not in Settings. That happens when my contacts icon is hidden, and I rack my brain to try to remember how I did it last time. It takes too many clicks. Can you make this easier/faster to do in the UI, perhaps? What about drag 'n drop, or adding it to the left frame in email, as Contacts are closely associated with email. (This is the Microsoft Outlook way of doing it.) Thank you!

Customize Email Reply Chains
Oftentimes, I have clients who will reply to an existing email chain instead of composing a new message. We should be able to break apart email reply chains into new chains and change the subject in future replies.
For example, I have an email chain with the subject "Meeting on July 14th". The client replied to the email for ideas about our upcoming meeting on October 6th. I wish to take this single email and remove it from the July 14th chain and start a new one for October 6th.

Be able to use "hide-my-email" of proton pass into proton mail in the "sender" dropdown
In "proton pass", when we create a hide-my-mail, I would like to be able to make a mail with "Proton Mail" in the senders dropdown...
Actually when we create one "hide-my-mail", we have to wait someone to mail to this alias, which then allow us to use the alias.
I'd be cool if all the created aliases in "proton pass" could be available in the list of senders in "proton mail" as soon as a hide-my-mail would be created.9 votes
