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.

Search field in labels for proton mail – mobile app
When adding label(s) on a message in the Proton Mail Mobile APP (in my case iOS) it is no search field available. With many labels you have to “scroll” thru an extensive list, and would be easier if you could “drag down” in the labels-list and a search field appeared.

Advanced PGP Key Management for Proton Mail Users
Description
Currently, Proton Mail allows users to manually add PGP public keys to external addresses only.
This creates several limitations for users with more complex encryption setups or personal key hierarchies.
Problem 1: Limited Manual Control
Users cannot manually specify whether an email should be:
-
Signed only
-
Encrypted only
- Signed and encrypted
Instead, Proton Mail enforces a fixed default behavior per contact.
If a user wishes to change how messages are sent, they must manually adjust the contact’s encryption settings each time.
This slows down workflows and complicates secure communication.
Problem 2: External Keys for Proton Addresses
Some Proton users maintain their own personal PGP key pairs associated with their Proton-hosted email addresses (for example, to preserve local control or maintain a separate trust model).
However, when receiving messages from other Proton Mail users, Proton’s system automatically forces the use of the Proton-managed encryption keys, preventing users from:
- Assigning their external public key to that same Proton address, or
- Choosing an alternative key manually for encryption/signing.
This limitation breaks compatibility with privacy-focused setups or air-gapped key workflows.
Problem 3: Security Tradeoff
The only workaround — uploading the external private key to Proton — undermines the purpose of maintaining an offline or self-controlled key.
Even if Proton’s storage is zero-access, this still requires trusting Proton’s infrastructure with a key that ideally should never leave local custody.
Suggested Enhancements
-
Manual Key Override
Allow users to override key selection on a per-message basis, including:- “Sign only”
- “Encrypt only”
- “Sign and encrypt”
- “Send plaintext”
Custom Key Mapping for Proton Addresses
Enable assigning an external public key to a Proton-hosted address, even when interacting with another Proton user.Per-Message Key Selection UI
Add an “Advanced” or “PGP Options” dropdown when composing a message to select signing/encryption behavior or which key to use (similar to Thunderbird or GPGMail).
Rationale
These improvements would benefit advanced users who manage their own key infrastructure or use Proton as part of a broader privacy toolchain.
They enhance flexibility and control without compromising usability or Proton’s secure defaults for non-technical users.Description

Allow customisation of Proton Calendar display (font etc) and other things - my top 5!
I think it's new, I cannot find any customisation of fonts for calendar app on iOS...
Having used CalenGoo for Google calendar, and now migrating away from Google, I can only strongly suggest to look at the depth of customisation that CalenGoo offers over even the native Google Calendar app.
Highlights for me, not exhaustive:
- customisation of font size, bold/italics etc., style, colour: important to allow more to show in the week and particular month view (my preferred view)
- display time at the start of a scheduled meeting in month view, not just 5 or 6 letters
- a proper search function (with indexing on device prior to encryption)
- general display alterations/customisation (for example, why not allow display of "August 2025" at the top, not just "August", which could be any year...)
- an easy copy/paste function for regularly recurring events where only date/time changes, not the content of the event
This is only a list of my most liked highlights.

Broader timezone-compatability in Calendar

Unlimited custom‑domain forwarding for paid Proton Unlimited Mail accounts
Unlimited custom‑domain forwarding for paid Proton Mail accounts
Brief request
Since switching to Proton Mail, I’ve noticed a missing feature: the ability to forward an unlimited number of addresses from my own domain (e.g., whatever@mydomain.com).
Currently, for Proton Unlimited, each forwarding address must be one of the 15 “authorized” addresses listed in the account settings. For a paid plan this restriction feels annoying.Your strategy, is may be to push people to subscribe for Proton Family, which has a limit of 90 adresses e-mail/alias. But come on, you push too far.
Detailed description I would like to be able to create forwarding rules for any number of addresses belonging to my domain—ideally with no hard limit, or at least well beyond the current 15‑address limit of the Unlimited plan. Typical use‑case My family uses our own domain for everyday communication, but we want all mail to land in our individual Proton Mail inboxes. With unlimited forwarding we could set up rules such as: wife@mydomain.com → mywife@protonmail.com mybeautifulwife@mydomain.com → mywife@protonmail.com kid1@mydomain.com → kid1@protonmail.com kid1.name@mydomain.com → kid1@protonmail.com kid2@mydomain.com → kid2@protonmail.com kid2.name@mydomain.com → kid2@protonmail.com …and so on for any additional family members or aliases.Why this matters
This is a basic, expected capability for a paid email service that supports custom domains. Limiting forwarding to a small amount of address is a pain **********.
I'm thinking to move away from proton because of that.Requested outcome Add an option in the Proton Mail settings that lets paid users create unlimited (or at least substantially higher) forwarding rules for any address under their custom domain.Thank you for considering this enhancement

Automatic alphabetical sorting of folders and subfolders
Hi! It's a waste of time to go and click on the sort button. It would be so ùuch easier if the sorting could be automatic. And we would have the choice between automatic and manual.

Integration mit n8n für Proton Mail (Workflow-Automatisierung)
n8n (https://n8n.io) ist eine Open‑Source‑Workflow‑Automatisierungsplattform, die es erlaubt, verschiedenste Dienste miteinander zu verbinden. Eine offizielle Integration von Proton Mail, Proton Calendar und Proton Drive würde es ermöglichen, E‑Mails, Termine und Dateien in Workflows einzubinden, Anhänge automatisch in Drive zu speichern, Kalendereinträge aus E‑Mails zu erzeugen oder bestimmte Aktionen auszulösen. Dies würde die Produktivität steigern und Nutzern helfen, Proton‑Dienste flexibel in ihre bestehenden Arbeitsabläufe einzubinden.

Auto-correct spellcheck in message composition
Apple and Gmail both have seamless and intuitive auto-correct spellcheck. Proton simply highlights misspelled word but does not correct or even offer correction options.

Feature request: ability to change main account address
Hello,
currently, in Proton Mail, it’s not possible to delete the email address used during the registration process. It would be very useful to have the option to switch the entire account to a different primary address, and remove the original one if it’s no longer needed.
This would give users more flexibility in managing their online identity, for example when the original address becomes obsolete or no longer fits their current needs.

Inbox First
A recent change to the interface has moved the Inbox folder below the Drafts, Sent, and Starred folders in the sidebar. I want to move the Inbox folder back to the first position in the list, but I don't seem to be able to click and drag it to reorder the folders. Please either undo this change to the ordering of the default folders or add functionality to let users reorder them however they like.

Email signature preview
When adding HTML code to generate the email signature it would have been so helpful to have a preview so one can see what it actually looks like.

Native desktop application instead of web wrapper
The current ProtonMail Windows desktop app looks like a zero-effort separate web window.
Instead, it should be a fully-featured client app, similar to the very well-built "eM Client."

undo button
It would be nice to have an undo edit button like most Microsoft programs. A button with a cylindrical arrow that undoes the last edit made, and stores them so one can go back multiple steps. Keyboards are so touchy that, especially if one is not a great typist, is easy to highlight an entire section, for instance, and replace it with the next thing one types. Being able simply to undo a catastrophic mistake rather than having to retype entire paragraphs would be a useful feature. I don't need to be punished for my typing errors--I know my typing is terrible.

Open attachments in a separate tab or window
It is already possible to preview PDFs and images in attachments. I propose a feature that would allow to open attachments in a separate tab or window. This way it would be possible to view attachments and read emails at the same time. At the moment, doing this requires downloading the attachment and opening it in a separate application. This should be optional behaviour and the user should be able to choose how they wish to view attachments.

Multiple filter options
When you create or update a filter, allow having more than one entry. For example if you want mail from ebay and you don't want to create multiple filter rules, you can add ebay.com/ebay.ca/.ebay/@ebay/ to one instead of @ebay then another with .ebay . They would be separated with a / or , -.

Improve efficiency of "Move messages to" action
The "Move messages to" action/menu recently changed, and resulted in an increase of required clicks to perform that action. This is significant for me, as I do a lot of organizing of emails into folders. Just one extra click adds up to a lot of extra work for me.
There are two use cases that I would like to see improved:
First use case:
1) Select emails to move
2) Click "Move messages to" button
3) Click the desired folder from the list
Done!After the recent change, there is an extra step:
4) Click the "Move" button***** Will you please let the action be completed by just clicking the folder? *****
Second use case:
1) Select emails to move
2) Click "Move messages to" button
3) Type in a filter
4) Press tab to highlight the folder
5) Press spacebar to select the folder
6) Press enter to complete the action (THIS NO LONGER WORKS)After the recent change, now we must instead:
6) Press tab several times in order to highlight the "Move" button
7) Press enter**** Will you please allow the action to be completed by pressing Enter without first highlighting the "Move" button? ****

Easier report button for Malicious e-mails and deletion
An easier way to report malicious/phishing and spam/junk e-mails. So for example, if you report an e-mail as malicious/phishing, not only will it report it to Protonmail security, it will also automatically delete the e-mail from your inbox or send it to trash.
