Please add “Edit as new message” for Sent emails (and ideally other folders).
I often need to resend the same email to a different recipient. Today I must copy the body, start a new message, paste, and re-add attachments. Thunderbird’s “Edit as new message” does this in one click: new composer with subject, body, and attachments, but empty/editable recipients.
This would save time and reduce mistakes. If others request this too, please consider prioritizing it.

Smart Autofill Suggestions for Event Titles & Locations
I’d love to see Proton Calendar add smart autofill suggestions for event titles and locations based on previously created events, similar to how Google Calendar handles event creation.
Example:
If I previously created an event called:
“Jake - Hanging out”Then the next time I create a new event and start typing:
“Jake”Proton Calendar would automatically suggest:
“Jake - Hanging out”If there are multiple past events starting with “Jake”, it could show a dropdown list of matching previous entries. The same functionality would also be very useful for the location field.
Why this would help:
• Keeps naming consistent across events
• Makes calendars look cleaner and more organized
• Speeds up event creation
• Reduces repetitive typing
• Improves usability for recurring social events, meetings, appointments, etc.Suggested behavior:
• Suggestions appear only from the user’s own previously created events
• Suggestions update as the user types
• Selecting a suggestion autofills the full title or location
• Optional toggle in settings for users who prefer manual entry onlyThis would make Proton Calendar feel much faster and more refined for everyday use.
Thank You!

Time-tracking Calendar Integration
One missing feature from the Proton Suite is a Time-tracking layer integrated in the Calendar app.
It would be a handy feature to toogle on/off alongside your planned schedule, in order to track the real time invested in your projects, get records and overviews, and be able to learn from them and improve your workflow. All with the same level of privacy and encryption of the other features.
Right now Proton users still depend on external apps to track their time, which don't integrate in the Proton ecosystem nor offer the same kind of data security. More on the contrary, multiplatform time-tracking sync apps are full of commercial trackers (pun very much intended) alongside security bugs.
Also, If the Calendar app is indeed planning to allow to run it locally and asynchronized as an option, the Time-tracking layer could work the same way for those who don't want/need online sync between devices.
I think there's a niche in the market for such (encrypted) feature, and it would be a point of attention for (small) businesses and independent entrepreneurs, while weighting on the idea of the Proton Suite above others.

Improve differentiation between unread and read mails
After the major UI refactoring of the Android mail app some weeks ago, we're struggling with some of the changes. Let me explain one problem:
- Differentiate between read and unread mails
It is very difficult to simply "see" which mails are new and which ones are already read. The only difference seems to be, that new mails are listed using bold font where already read emails are using the normal font. It doesn't matter which theme is used, you need to have a deeper look to recognize "oh, I've already read this mail".
Please improve the inbox layout in such a way that it is clear with a blink of an eye, which mails are "new" (unread) and which ones are "old" (already read).

Preview attachment in app without downloading (Proton Mail Android)
It is not possible to preview attachments in the Proton Mail Android app without them being downloaded to the "Downloads" folder of the device, which unneccessarily clutters the folder with content you only meant to view and maybe then decide to download.
The Proton Drive app does let you preview files without them ending up on the visible device storage, so this should be possible.
Related, but really not a real preview feature, at least not on Android:

Edit/delete both Current and Future events for a recurring event series
Google Calendar has long supported the ability to choose whether modifications to an event in a recurring series will affect the current event only, or the current event and all future events. Exchange long lacked this ability, but at some point has gained an option to do so: https://oneminuteofficemagic.com/2025/06/12/editing-recurring-events-in-outlook-with-this-and-all-following-events/
Workflows I wish I could do but don't think I can right now (or it is difficult to do):
- Delete an event from a recurring event, plus all future events in the recurring event. Eg, I have a recurring event, but I no longer need it going forward.
- Edit an event in a recurring event series, and have any changes to it apply to it and all future events (but not earlier events). Eg, The meeting's name is going to change, or maybe I need to move its standard date/time to a different date/time, or change its frequency going forward, but I don't want to modify past events.

Resize attached images
We can currently change the display size of inline images but the file size remains the same. We don't always need send the highest resolution - in gmail you can choose small/medium/large/original and the resolution and file size are adjusted accordingly. Presumably this would be an advantage to proton also, as it would save on disc space.

How do I recover an OST file and save it as EML or MSG?
To recover an OST file and save its emails as EML or MSG, use an OST recovery tool that can scan the corrupted or inaccessible file and export the recovered mailbox data in multiple formats. Start by selecting the OST file and running the scan. After the recovery process, preview the emails and other mailbox items to verify the required data. The SysInfo OST Recovery Tool supports three recovery modes—Standard, Advanced, and Deep—and can recover emails, attachments, contacts, calendars, tasks, journals, and other Outlook data. Once the required emails are recovered, you can save them as EML or MSG files. The tool also supports other output formats, including PST, DBX, and MBOX, giving you flexibility depending on your email client or storage needs. A date-range filter is available if you want to recover only emails from a specific period. This makes the process useful for recovering OST data and accessing individual emails outside Outlook.

"Mailing list header" should not waste that much space
The "This message is from a mailing list. - Unsubscribe" currently takes up a lot of screen space!
While I like the option to easily unsubscribe, its not a task that I do often. So that feature should not take that much space.
Also the message "This message is from a mailing list" is not very helpflul since its already clear that this is the case for most mails.
The mail header currently has a lot of empty space (on large screen). Please change that feature so it stays aside and did not make the header larger.

Allow to pin or always display a label/folder
I have a hand full of labels that I use every day. So I currently need to keep the labels list open while I dont need moste of them. That's very distracting and makes the UI confusing.
Please add an option to always show a label even when the Labels are closed. This makes sens for Folders to.
Gmail also have this option.

Avoid exposing core email addresses
So here's something about the behaviour of Proton Mail I find puzzling and concerning. When I received a mail sent to one of my aliases from an unwanted source in the desktop app for Mac, I clicked on the option to disable the alias. I was then presented with a dialog box USING ONE OF MY CORE NON-ALIAS EMAIL ADDRESSES to send an email to unsubscribe from the sender's email list. This seems to be the worst response for my my privacy - why on earth would I want to send an email from one of my core email addresses and thereby expose it, when all I wanted to do was disable an alias????
Surely a much better response would be to send the unsubscribe request using the alias address? Or NOT to email an unsubscribe request at all, but rather, to go to Proton Pass and simply disable the email alias there.So here's something about the behaviour of Proton Mail I find puzzling and concerning.

Send reminder email to user who booked meeting

To enhance Proton Calendar with a feature that automatically calculates ages for recurring birthday reminders, highlights milestone birthday
User Story:
As a Proton Calendar user,
I want to add a person's date of birth for recurring birthday reminders,
So that the calendar can automatically calculate and display the age they'll be turning each year,
And I want the option to only show ages for milestone birthdays,
So that I can easily recognize and prepare for these special occasions while maintaining privacy for regular birthdays.Prompt for creating an interface:
Design a user interface for Proton Calendar that showcases the new birthday and milestone birthday features. The interface should include:A monthly calendar view with a few sample birthdays, including at least one milestone birthday.
A visual indicator (such as a special icon or color) to distinguish milestone birthdays from regular birthdays.
A "Add Birthday" form or modal that allows users to input:Name of the person
Date of birth
Option to set as a recurring annual eventBirthday events on the calendar that display the person's name and the age they'll be turning (e.g., "John's Birthday (32)").
A settings panel or modal where users can customize:Which birthdays are considered milestones (e.g., 10, 16, 21, 30, 40, 50, 60, etc.)
Whether to display ages for all birthdays or only for milestone birthdaysA pop-up or tooltip that appears when hovering over a birthday, showing additional information (e.g., "30th Birthday - Pearl Anniversary" for milestone birthdays).
An option to set special reminders for milestone birthdays (e.g., remind 1 month in advance).
A toggle switch in the birthday event details to enable/disable age display for individual contacts.User Story:

Desktop client: improve startup and tray options
The desktop client lacks a proper option to start automatically with the system. I can add it manually to startup, but then the app opens normally instead of minimized.
It would be great to have these options:
Start minimized.
Show or hide in the tray.
Minimize to tray or taskbar.This is essential because many devs end up with both tray and taskbar icons unnecessarily. I usually minimize to the taskbar, but when I close an app it still runs in the tray in the background.
Alternatively, please provide launch keys/flags so I can create my own startup shortcut with these behaviors.

One click between calendar and mail
Please provide a way to switch between calendar and mail with one button click, instead of opening a menu. I'm annoyed every time I want to look at the calendar that I click the 4-dot button, then choose calendar. There is plenty of real-estate in the app to put some tabs or buttons for this.
Also- it would be nice to be able to open the calendar directly from a windows shortcut icon.
