Yes the disable without being to replace , and not being able to use pm.me for the alias(Es) is a downer

Same thing happened to me!

Instead of disabling an alias, paid users should be able to change the alias . I misspelled a word on my 5th alias and have just had it on disable for years - as a paid user, these features are expensive and i feel I haven’t gotten my money’s worth. Also why can’t ALL of the addresses including alias addresses be shortened to pm.me? Seems annoying since multiple inboxes can’t be added in the app if another is created with pm.me, but aliases are only allowed ProtonMail.com. ALIAS EMails should go into separate INBOX FOLders!

@Protonmail staff, 95% of the sites where I attempted to use the + rejected it as an invalid email address. While we may not need totally unlimited aliases, you need to remove the cap on 5. What really kills the service is forcing paid customers to be stuck with the 5 they choose - not allowing them to ever replace them. How can that be helpful when you know that at some point those 5 aliases will need to be replaced due to spam? At the VERY LEAST, allow the 5 alias spots to be replaceable. You need to recognize that while the 5 permanent aliases were a well-intentioned idea, it is impractical in the real world. Meaning, your failure to modify this feature to make it useful is holding back your customers from fully utilizing your service, including almost all paid customers. A feature that was designed to offer some much needed privacy by not allowing data brokers to build profiles based on our Protonmail usage. This is clearly an issue that deserves attention - there is overwhelming support for a better solution. At the very least, update us as to where you are headed with this feature, so we know whether to recommend this service to others.

Are there any updates on this?
I read somewhere (Reddit I think) that there could be a seperation between protonmail addresses and custom domain addresses so we could have unlimited addresses on our own custom domains. That feature would be really needed!

"+" is USELESS!!! do something proton! please!
I need this to move to Proton paid plan, until they don't release this I stay on Hushmail or Fastmail.

Spamgourmet is shutting down. Please add a solution for this soon, so I don't have to transition to, and then trust, some other burner forwarding service. Thanks!

Is this actually actively reviewed? Current limit for plus 5 is too low. And price for visionary for 50 aliases is too high. This need not be truly unlimited and daily new limits is okay too. But the limit needs to be higher. + alias is just usable for filtering and does not always work. Even lowish one time fee for new alias would be acceptable for me.

What are actual reasons why this is not implemented? They are not spelled out as far as I could see in comments.

I think this is a better solution

This is huge for privacy. Humans make mistakes and you have an account with two aliases such as...

cyberguy227@protonmail.com
johndoe@protonmail.com

And if cyberguy227 is your personal email while johndoe is your work email you do not want to send an email to a coworker with your cyberguy227 by accident because you forgot to change the sender address.

Maybe instead of adding a setting for each contact, instead use contact groups where you can create a group called cyberguy227 and johndoe, and you add contacts to those groups.

This will be possible with the mobile apps and web interface where it will not send if the email is apart of the wrong group. For the bridge however it maybe possible by adding this feature but instead the email can be sent but before it is sent off, ProtonMail servers will check to see if the email contact is dedicated with the sender email alias and if not it will not send the email out and send the email back saying it was rejected.

+1 up!!!

I'm still waiting for this feature since the professional plan came up. When I chose to switch to Proton I didn't think this feature could be missing. So till now I have to forward important messages. That's not what I call a business plan!

Many websites don't accept email adresses with the + sign. Even Apple has announced a nym server like service. Please save us, Proton Mail Team!

This would still work towards the dream of ultimate privacy for users and would be useful to anyone who needed to hand out a sort of 'false address' to anyone like a loan shark, telemarketer, or generally anyone they wanted to send off their trail in the wrong direction = privacy protection for users.

I wish that there were a slot for email addresses you can designate as a "burnable slot". This would mean that the email address that you assign to this slot can at any time be immediately burned away and a new 'alias' or address created in its place at a moment's notice.

This is how I maintain a spam-free inbox in Hushmail, and the only feature they have that keeps me there. I maintain a paid Protonmail account, but don't use it because I don't feel confident I can keep spam at bay. I have no interest in searching through a spam folder for something valuable that made it in there, it sort of defeats the purpose of that automated spam control... I still have to check it. With Hushmail's "@nym.hushmail.com" alias feature, I give many new services a unique email address. If I ever get spam, I can see which it was sent to, change my email with that provider(s) and make a new alias for them. No more spam. Hushmail is not as private or secure as Protonmail, but I find this system so valuable, I'm not willing to make Protonmail my new permanent email home yet. I sincerely hope this changes.

I would like to have temporary email address that i can generate from ProtonMail ui and use it for an hour (or 10 minutes). Then the email address is discarded.

This is like 10minutemail but with the results in the protonmail mailbox.

Duplicate.

Hello,

The use of the "+" plus sign kills it for protonmail alias' on so many email systems. Show your support here:
