Improve views and format with save to pdf preview and print preview
Currently Print preview and save to pdf preview is buggy. It does not showing all of the email, borders, and pictures. The body is missing sometimes and the letters or pictures are cut off. The paper is saved as a pdf and printed incorrectly. The only work around is to export emails as a .eml. Open in other application like Microsoft outlook so it can print correctly.
It is really time consuming if when you have to do research or gather information for a lawyer and you are exporting one by one hundreds of emails.

Filter Categories/Sub Filters
When adding entries into a filter, allow to create sub filters. This would be useful if: The domain has multiple addresses, and they could be filtered to go where they need to go. You could keep the max 50 main filters, but you could have a higher limit of sub filters. You could also create Filter categories, where you could add various domains. This would be similar to sub filters, but you could define/have more granular control of where this and that mail can go. It could also be a simple way to know what those addresses for.

Do Not Delete Emails to Myself When Deleted from Sent and Trash
When I send an email to myself, my Proton account email, I have two copies of the message, one in Sent and one in Inbox, when I try to cleanup my Sent folder and delete the message from that folder, it moves it to Trash and the message in my Inbox is still there, but when I empty Trash, the message is also removed from my Inbox which should not happen.

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Expiration Date" project aims to reduce the environmental impact of commercial emails by facilitating the deletion of outdated messages.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.

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.

ability to run a filter on one message
Especially for testing - running a sieve script on 5000 messages in the inbox is PAINFULLY SLOW. If it wasn't this would be less of an issue, but my scripts aren't working, and I'm trying to figure out why, and it's taking like 15-30 minutes to run the sieve script. If I could run it on one message, I could instantly (more or less) see if it's moved to another folder.

Allow 'All Mail' to be chosen as the default folder
The tedium of using ProtonMail because it reverts to the inbox is annoying. New messages filtered into folders are not noticeable from the inbox. Please allow 'All Mail' to be set as the user's preferred view.

Choose the language of the email sent by Proton for secure emails
Be able to choose the language of the email sent by Proton for secure emails. For example, if I want to send my secure message to a French-speaking customer, I'd like him to be able to receive the email in French with a link in French to “Learn more about password-protected emails” https://proton.me/support/password-protected-emails

Security or biometric lock for calendar
The only phone app that doesn't have a security lock in order to access (once already logged in) is the calendar. Assuming the worst and a bad actor steals your device and gets access to the phone, they have unfettered access to the calendar. Piecing data together via the calendar (data aggregation) can quickly compromise a person's identity, their circle of friends/associates, patterns, whereabouts on given days and times, etc. Having a security or biometric lock on the calendar helps add another level of OPSEC.

Automatically detect and prefill event time from text entered in the description field
When a calendar event description starts with a time (e.g., '17:00' or '5 PM'), automatically detect it with regex and prefill the event’s time fields—simple to implement, high user value, inspired by Google Calendar. (or let me know and I will implement it for you <3)

Email all participants
Like in Outlook, add an "Email all participants" Button to events.
Should open a Mail, like a reply all to the event. This is helpful for where I want to tell others, e.g.:
* "Sorry, I will be late"
* "Here are more details about the event"9 votes -
Edit/add participants on existing events
I received a booking email and Proton offered me to add the event to my calendar. Once it was created, I wanted to add participants, which seems to be not possible. It would be great to be able to edit the participants list on existing events, without having to create another one.

Get rid of Black Friday banner
I have a subscription, so black Friday deals don't pertain to me at the moment. Shoving in an add banner on a premium already paid for service feels cheap... Get rid of it please!

Provide a Way to Disable HTML in Emails
Html is very present in emails from CRM software but is rarely ever present in emails sent from friends and relatives. It is unnecessary, wastes space, and presents some vulnerabilities and tracking potential. Scammers can use html to obfuscate urls for phishing attacks, and companies can use images to track opens. Can Proton add a way to either strip html from emails before it reaches my inbox, or disable the rendering of the html once it is in my inbox, or both? Or at least disable the rendering of links specifically, so that they can no longer be obfuscated? Outlook has a way to do this, and it works great, but I'd like to be able to check emails in my browser as well, without having html render there.

Support for ISO 8601 date formats (YYYY-MM-DD)
- have an option to display dates in a sane, superior, internationally standardized format...
- allow users to enter dates like "2024-05-08" when creating an event, instead of having to type "May 08, 2024" which is an annoying hindrance.
- bonus points if you let me paste "2024-05-08T14:45" and it update the time field too.

A bridge for the Proton calendar
I would like to have a bridge, as realised with the Proton email, with which the calendar entries in the Proton calendar are mirrored in the standard calendar on the Mac or iPhone. Then they would also be displayed automatically on the Apple Watch.
