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

warn when reply to is different than from
I just had a fishing attempt from someone I know, and the phisher had set the reply-to address to be a different account. I initially did not notice because the To line for reply does not show the email address by default.
It would be good if there was a warning that the reply-to is different than the From address.2 votes -

move event from personal to shared calendar
Move event from personal calendar to shared calendar
I have events in my personal calendar that become relevant to others that I have a shared calendar with. The other user is the shared calendar owner. I can create an event in the shared calendar but I want to be able to edit the event I have already created and select the shared calendar. Currently it only shows my personal calendars when I try to do this edit.
I use proton calendar on both web and IOS 15.8.4 (I have an older iPhone) this issue persists in both versions.
It has been resolved in IOS 18 but I cannot use that.

Black mouse pointer over mail text editor
When composing an email in "Normal" mode it would be very helpful if the mouse pointer is black when hovering over the text editor. Now it is a white pointer over a white field, and therefor either invisible or very hard to see and place over text. This would do much for the usability of the mail editor.

Go to Folder
In Proton Mail's web application, I would like to go easily to a particular folder. Convenient ways would be:
- A 'Go to Folder...' shortcut (much like the very useful 'M' shortcut to move a message to a folder). 'Shift + M' is a natural candidate.
- When viewing a message listed in 'All mail', this message's folder icon appears (on the same line as the 'From' field, between the 'Star' icon and the 'time received'). Clicking on this icon currently folds the message, but it could instead offer me some actions such as 'Go to folder' or 'Move to other folder...'I am trying to maintain a clean (i.e. empty) Inbox. So I usually view new emails in the 'All mail' section, with the 'Show: Unread' "filter" active. When I view a new email, it's usually been automatically moved by a Custom Filter to some folder, sometimes deep in the hierarchy. If I need to access that message's folder, currently the only way I know of is to click my way down that hierarchy on the left panel, which is cumbersome.

Windows notification click switches folder to Inbox instead of keeping current folder
In the Windows app, when a folder like All Mail is open and a new email notification appears, clicking the Windows notification opens the email but also switches the view to the Inbox. This disrupts workflow when working inside All Mail, where the same email is already visible.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open the app on Windows
- Navigate to the All Mail folder
- Receive a new email
- Click the Windows notification for that email
Expected Behavior
The email opens in the reading pane without changing the currently open folder (stay in All Mail).Actual Behavior
The app switches the view to the Inbox and opens the email there.Notes
The logic of switching to the folder containing the email makes sense in general, but All Mail already includes the email. Excluding All Mail from this behavior would preserve context and avoid resetting the working state.In the Windows app, when a folder like All Mail is open and a new email notification appears, clicking the Windows notification opens the email but also switches the view to the Inbox.

Swipe to change day / week / month in app

Allow for a 2 or 3 week calendar view. With 3-6 entries on each day, showing a month long layout w/ few items visible isn't helpful. Thanks!
Please allow for a 2 or 3 week view in the calendar. When there are many entries each day, showing a month long (4-5 wk) layout where only a few items per day are visible isn't very helpful. We only see a bunch of bullets (not all but a few) that show a few words. Allowing users to see 2 or 3 weeks at a time would allows the cells to fully populate and see all the bullets. Thanks!

When utilizing your services great harm is being caused when our alternative emails that are created via the subscription plan which allows the option for multiple emails to be created are disabled whenever the subscription isn't renewed after your grace period has concluded. We as account holder's rely on your service platform for vital communications via medical, business, personal; etc. When your platform disables our created emails not the primary email because that email isn't an alias email. I'm referencing the created allowed emails that has the feature to send and receive communications only not the aliases that aren't currently allowed to send a correspondence email when utilizing the alias feature. Proton makes it about monetary gain rather than stewardship in providing services universally. Organically speaking, if the approach was to provide a quality service the disabling of communications would not have been an option of choice to use when subscription plans aren't renewed. We need to not have any of our emails disabled where we can't receive communications of any and all emails. Have where we can't send any email correspondence due to not renewing said payment for plan of choice. We need this disabling of emails due to non-payment to immediately be removed due to the harm it causes when not able to receive any communications via emails.

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.

PDF viewer in Android ProtonMail app, with easy save to ProtonDrive
Completed request 7808634 was for pdf preview, which of course works in ProtonMail Windows app, and also in ProtonDrive Android.
But in ProtonMail Android, although I've updated to latest version, the "Open With" for pdf attachments doesn't offer me an integrated Proton pdf viewer.
Only 3rd party ones, including Google Drive and Dropbox... giving me a quick workflow to save recieved pdfs into Dropbox. But of course I'd like my default cloud to be ProtonDrive!4 votes -
