This is an absolutely necessary change to make. It makes me hesitant to use any of my allocated addresses, because I can never be certain that it will always be useful and relevant in the future.

Anonymous is right about the security problem posed by reusing addresses; however, there are virtually an infinite number of possible character combinations for creating new addresses. Therefore, I propose some sort of rating system to estimate the probable demand of particular addresses. Put more simply, each Proton user might have an allocated measure of how much probable demand is used. If a user wants hi@protonmail.com, bye@protonmail.com, etc., choosing these popular addresses should severely limit that user's ability to keep changing addresses and wasting popular ones. On the other hand, if a user wants dd223DV4afv-awe21ogfd9vg0rewa@protonmail.com, that counts much less against the demand allocation, and therefore has the ability to change addresses frequently. Some sort of "address recycling credits" should be part of a PM subscription. That's my half-baked idea, anyway.

Not sure if it's a good idea. If someone reclaims an email alias that once was yours, he can impersonate you.

I think this restriction should be removed. https://solarpanelcostprice.com.au/1kw-solar-panel-system/

Aliases are great for temporary addresses. Never give out the actual address, just give out the aliases. Then those aliases work as perfect temporary measures that could be deleted, I hope.

I have never understood this restriction. Whatever the reason for it, surely it could tolerate 1 reset per year? It would be difficult to abuse that!

Seems still not to be possible or am I completely missing something?

Guys, what are you talking about? You can delete addresses... It just requires you to:

1) Waiting the expiration date on payment.
2) Cancelling your plan.
3) Deleting existent account.
4) Making a new one.
5) Signing up for a Plus/etc.
6) Making new addresses.
7) ...
8) Congratz, you just deleted unwanted email addresses!

P.S. Seriously, why do we need to go through all this hassle if we decide later to add a '.' in a FirstnameLastname@protonmail.com?

This needs to be added I don't see a reason why it cannot be added. I would like to remove an email address I created but decided I wanted the name a bit different now. I can understand like a wait of x amount of days before deleting just needs tobe documented if so.

+1 - i can't add a new email alias until one of my disabled emails are deleted - but I have no way of deleting my disabled alias email addresses..

Users should be able to delete addresses they have never used, or to convert between @protonmail.com and @pm.me addresses. Maybe there could be a time window to do this. Also, disabled addresses should be able to be expired after a certain time.

Seriously... I don't understand why this is not possible.

Hi dear Protonmail developers,

I have run in the same issue.

I created one address that I don't want any longer.

How can I have it removed ?

I find it incredibly frustrating that ProtonMail doesn't allow us to do this. Because of this limitation I can't add a custom domain.

ProtonMail has to do this. I didn't understand at first, created a lots of emails. Then i want to delete them and i can't. Too frustrating.

I would like to have possibility to remove one or more of our unused @protonmail address.
