2. Allow Comments on Emails

   Comments on Emails are a huge time saver.
   Labels are good for general actions llike 'Do' 'Await response', 'Read' 'Decide'
   Comments are good when you have numerous emails from one sender all with same header.
   If one of those emails needs to be found later there are a lot to sift through.
   One email with a unique comment saves a lot of time.Eg 'Decision re meeting time' or 'Pay bill by 9Feb26'

3. An easy way to copy the sender's email address of a received email

   Currently, left-clicking on the sender's email address collapses the message, while right-clicking on the sender's email address brings up the browser's context menu. Users can't perform a basic action like getting the sender's email address from their Inbox to the clipboard.

   Mozilla Firefox 148.0b12, Microsoft Windows 10.0.26200.7705

4. Label before sending

   It would be very nice if we could label an originally drafted outgoing mail prior to hitting "Send." Then, I wouldn't have to click into the Sent folder after each email or at the end of the day to label my originally drafted emails.

5. Self-destruct multiple emails

   Currently, the self-destruct option can only be selected for each email individually. It would be really useful to be able to select multiple emails and choose a self-destruct time for all of them.

6. Sending E2EE emails to non-Proton users without the manual password/key hassle

   I’ve been a very happy user and I’m incredibly grateful for what the Proton team has built. Proton is easily the best at privacy when both sides are on the platform, but recently I’ve been sending a lot of sensitive documents—IDs, bank docs, and contracts—to government officials. It’s made me realize that while Proton is great for privacy if both sides use it, it’s still a huge headache when your recipient isn’t a Proton user or a tech freak.

   Right now, we have two options for non-Proton users, and both have major real-world friction. First, there’s PGP. Unless the recipient is very tech-savvy, that’s out of the question. You can't ask a government clerk or a busy accountant to manage keys just to read your email. Second, there’s manual password protection. This is where it gets tough; I have to find a separate way to call or text the person just to give them a password. It feels unprofessional and creates so much friction that many people just give up.

   I’d love to propose two separate features (likely for Proton Unlimited and Business) to bridge this gap:

   1. Legally-binding "Electronic Registration" (Similar to IncaMail from Swiss Post): For both private individuals and businesses, we need a way to send an email that has legal weight. This would be a "Registered" option where the recipient must electronically sign for the email to decrypt it. To make this work while staying Zero-Knowledge, users could securely upload their ID to their Proton account—stored with end-to-end encryption so even Proton can't read it.

   When a "Registered" email arrives, the recipient would "sign" it with a simple, intuitive gesture (like a "drag-to-unlock" switch). This signature, backed by their stored ID, would generate a signed receipt proving the recipient's identity and the exact time of delivery. This would be a game-changer for official correspondence, legal filings, or contracts that require proof of delivery.

   1. Automated Identity Verification (OTP or Secure Link): This feature doesn't need to be legally binding; it's purely for making everyday secure communication convenient. To stop the hassle of manual password sharing, we need an automated verification system that doesn't require the sender to manually coordinate passwords:

   Integrated Verification: When the recipient clicks to open the email, they are prompted to verify their identity through a standard flow (like a one-time code sent to their mobile or a (secondary) email already on file).

   Secure-Key Link: Alternatively, Proton could generate a unique, secure-key link displayed in the email inbox when opening the email. The recipient is led to an encrypted browser environment that verifies they are the intended recipient through a pre-constructed flow, then decrypts the message right there.

   This removes the human element of having to coordinate a second communication channel myself. Even the most tech-illiterate and lazy people can handle an SMS code, email verification, or simply clicking a link and following a clear verification flow

   By implementing these, Proton would make it so much easier for Proton and non-Proton users to communicate privately. It makes privacy and legal security very convenient, regardless of what provider the other person uses.

   I’ve been a very happy user and I’m incredibly grateful for what the Proton team has built. Proton is easily the best at privacy when both sides are on the platform, but recently I’ve been sending a lot of sensitive documents—IDs, bank docs, and contracts—to government officials.

8. ProtonMail mobile app allow attachments from other apps

   As of today, it's only possible to source attachments from:

   • my photo library
   • take new picture
   • import from...

   None of these options allows me to choose from an app on my Android mobile phone. I would for example like to source pictures from my Synology Photos app.

10. Improve efficiency of viewing emails, better utilize dead space

    On the iPad, if i have a lot of unread emails, it's a lot faster to go through them efficiently in Apple Mail than in Proton Mail because of the main screen format. 1: Showing the email list on the left side (with the option to show 2-3 lines of content), and 2: showing the selected email's full content on the right hand side, allows you to quickly see each email, then delete or move on to the next email without ever having to leave the main screen.

11. Dedicated Proton Calendar App for MacOS

    Instead of using the proton mail app for calendar, have a dedicated proton calendar app for macOS.

    In the meantime, or if this is not something Proton wants to pursue, I would appreciate a couple of changes to the proton mail app:
    I would like to be able to pick which is the default view when the app is launched to calendar instead of mail.

    I would also like to be able to two finger swipe left or right to be able to scroll back and forth between different weeks or months or days instead of just having the arrow buttons in the corners (or a keyboard command that goes to the next or previous one).

    When creating events that have start and stop times, so not all day events, I would like to be able to click and drag an even down from the start to end time. This is already a feature, I would just like it changed to be able to do it across multiple days (as someone who routinely schedules something from 1900 one day through 0730 the next day)

    I would like to be able to click on an event and then use the keyboard shortcut to copy the event, and then be able to use the keyboard shortcut to paste the event somewhere else.

    I would like to be able to assign custom Hex colors to calendars.

12. advanced syntax in search

    Mail : Advanced Search Syntax, operators and Keywords

    Having an advanced search syntax ("from:user@domain.com", "to:user@domain.com", "filetype:xlsx"...) would ease and speed up the use of the search feature among mail or other apps. Many competitors propose such feature but search engines (like Duckduckgo, Brave, etc..) might also be inspiring for a powerful search syntax.

13. Minimal FCM notification payloads on Android

    I’d like to suggest a privacy-related feature for Proton Mail on Android regarding push notifications via Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM).

    While I understand FCM is required for timely notifications and message content remains end-to-end encrypted, notification payloads are still visible to Google’s infrastructure. Currently, these payloads may include metadata such as sender or subject, even when Android system settings hide notification content.

    Feature request:
    Please consider adding an app-level setting that lets users choose how much information is included in FCM notification payloads, for example:

    Full notification (current behavior)
    Minimal notification (“You have a new message,” no sender/subject/metadata)
    (Optional) Silent / wake-up only notification, with details fetched after app launch

    This would reduce metadata exposure, align with Proton’s privacy-first goals, and give users better control—especially those in high-risk environments.

    I’m not suggesting replacing FCM, only minimizing the data sent through it.

    Thank you for your time and for your continued work on privacy-focused tools.

14. Proton Calendar Countdown Timer

    Proton Calendar users should be able to add a countdown timer feature to an event. For example, a user schedules a wedding on the calendar and decides to toggle a button to enable a countdown timer. This feature would especially be useful on mobile devices and could be made into a widget or lock screen display.

15. Improve search to allow multiple filters

    The current search is very limited. I want to find all emails with a specific label in the Inbox. In the search, I can select Inbox and a label, but I can only choose one.

    I have 40k emails with this label in the archive, and 1,000 emails in the Inbox, some of which have the same label. How am I supposed to search for just the ones in the Inbox? Please improve the search to allow combining multiple filters.

16. Folder <text box search filter>

    Issue: Once you start to have many folders (lets say 100+), it starts getting a bit annoying to find the correct one as you need to scroll down to find it.

    Solution: Just above the "Folders" section in the Mail, there should be a text box where you can type, and as you type it filters the folders with those characters.

    For example: I want to search for a folder name "Proton". I could just type in this text box "p" "pr" "pro" "prot" "proto" "proton" and find folders that contains these characters. Similar to how Steam does it for the games library.

    Bonus 1: Include an toggable option to show the parent folder if the filter finds sub-folders.
    Bonus 2: This could also be added to the settings->folders and labels, as well as settings-> filters.

    Simple and very useful :)

17. Allow bridge to bind to IP

    Allow Bridge to listen on 0.0.0.0 instead of localhost to allow all mail on the local lan to be routed through a single server - rather than running a copy of the bridge on each computer in my house. This is especially important if my other request to not download the entirety of my mailbox to each instance of Bridge is not implemented.

19. Added a simple option to make emails unreadable by AI

    I heard about a great tool on GitHub that simply makes text unreadable by AI: gibberify by Will Patti (wdpatti).
    The tool is available at this address: https://github.com/GeneploreAI/gibberifier
    I think it would be great to integrate this into Proton Mail so that text can be made unreadable with a single click.

20. iOS shortcut for sending an email

    It should be possible to automate proton email sending via iOS shortcuts app in the same way as it works for the Apple Mail app.

    Example workflow:
    1. Select Files — lets the user pick one or more files.
    2. Send Email — prefilled like:
    • Body text: “Hello, here’re my attachments:” and then an embedded File token (the file(s) selected above).
    • Fields in the action header: with Subject and to Recipients (both are parameter “chips”).
    • Extra fields shown:
    • From: (optional)
    • Cc: (email addresses)
    • Bcc: (email addresses)
    • A toggle: Show Compose Sheet (checked), meaning it will open the composer UI instead of silently sending.

    ⸻

    Feature requirements:

    1) Shortcuts actions (must-have)

    Action: “Send Email (via )”
    • Inputs
    • To (list of email addresses or contacts)
    • Subject (text)
    • Body (text; supports inserting variables/tokens from previous steps)
    • Attachments (0..n files; accepts Shortcuts “File” type and multiple selection)
    • Cc (list)
    • Bcc (list)
    • From Account (optional; select from configured accounts/aliases)
    • Show Compose Sheet (boolean; default true to match screenshot)
    • Behavior
    • If Show Compose Sheet = true: open your app’s composer prefilled; user can edit and hit Send.
    • If Show Compose Sheet = false: send silently in the background (or fail with a clear error if iOS disallows in that state).
    • Outputs
    • Result (success/failure)
    • Message ID (if available)
    • Error (human-readable + a code for automation handling)

    Action: “Compose Email” (optional but nice)
    • Always opens composer, returns draft id.

    2) Attachment handling
    • Accept multiple files from “Select Files” and attach all.
    • Preserve file names + MIME types.
    • Support common types: PDF, images, video, ZIP, text, Office docs.
    • Handle large files:
    • configurable limit + clear errors
    • optional “upload link instead of attach” mode (if your app supports it)

    3) Recipient + address resolution
    • Allow recipients from:
    • raw emails
    • Contacts
    • lists passed in from earlier Shortcut steps
    • Validate addresses; fail gracefully with which address is invalid.

    4) Account / identity selection
    • From maps to:
    • chosen mailbox (IMAP/SMTP account) or
    • alias identity (Reply-To / Sender if supported)
    • If not provided: use default account.

    5) UX parity with Shortcuts “chips”
    • Parameters must appear as editable token fields in Shortcuts (like “Subject”, “Recipients”, and the File token embedded in the body).
    • Support variable insertion in body/subject (e.g., file name, date, clipboard text).

    6) Reliability + privacy
    • Clear permission prompts (Contacts access only if needed).
    • No sending until user explicitly allows silent sending (or require compose sheet).
    • Don’t retain attachments beyond sending unless user opts in.
    • Return deterministic errors so automations can branch (e.g., “NoAccountConfigured”, “Offline”, “AuthExpired”, “AttachmentTooLarge”).

    7) Platform implementation notes (so it actually works)
    • Implement via App Intents (so actions show up in Shortcuts properly).
    • Support running while locked where possible (otherwise explain limitation via error + suggest compose sheet).

    It should be possible to automate proton email sending via iOS shortcuts app in the same way as it works for the Apple Mail app.

    Example workflow:
