Option to show calendar title event in email notification
Proton Calendar email notifications currently do not show the title of the calendar event (e.g. Reminder: event starting on Friday, March 4 (all day)). When emailing to the companion Proton Mail account, the email notification should include the calendar subject (e.g. Reminder: Jimmy's Birthday, Friday, March 4 (all day)).

I really hope Proton can add an option to make email reminders meaningful.
In the images advertising the redesign of the mobile apps a few months back, they even showed an inbox with meaningful Proton Calendar reminders ("Lunch with John"). I was very excited for a moment as I thought I was about to get a real replacement for Google Calendar.
I also want to call attention to the idea of E2EE in this context. If reminders contain 1) the event time and 2) the fact that there is an event at all, then we can't say that calendar events are fully end-to-end encrypted in the first place. They are *partially* encrypted. It's a choice to not encrypt some information.
I would like users themselves to be able to choose to unencrypt event names, just like Proton itself has chosen to not encrypt even times and the fact that the user has an event. -

Indeed ! I am annoyed by those useless email notifications. Since Protonmail is encrypted, why can't we receive notifications with the title of the event ?

This is one of the critical features keeping me from committing 100% from switching from Google.

I agree that this is critical. The event details are in the email body once you click. Please add it to the title so we can see the event in the inbox without opening the mail. All other calendars work like this.

Genuinely shocked this isn't possible - what's the point of a notification if it doesn't tell you what it's for?

Agree...miss the usefulness of the G-word implementation. Please figure out a way to make this an option for those who want this. Thx.

Yes, this seems like a huge miss. I have relied heavily on my Google Calendar reminders and have missed several tasks since switching to Proton because the email subject is so vague.

This is really annoying that calendar reminder e-mail does not include calendar tittle, on each reminder you need to open calendar separately

I forget or miss so many calendar events because this approach does not work with my ADHD brain. Please, please allow the event to be in the subject line of the email.

Its not very helpful to just see that there is an "event". Why make your users go to the Calendar to see what the event is? This is a waste of time. Other apps tell you what the notification is about. Please give the title of the event.

I totally agree. Currently one needs to got to the Calendar to see what the even is about.

Just chiming in to emphasize my vote, I use my email inbox as a ToDo/Calender reminder, so I would really appreacitate adding at least the Calender Event title in the email reminder subject, like it was with the Google apps. Love you! Thanks in advance!

+1. Email notifications are quite useless as they are currently implemented.

Same here. Reminders are very important in daily use and not being able to know what the event is about without reading the email is… disappointing and really frustrating.

One of the features I miss most from Google calendar. Email notifications are far less helpful without this feature.

Please consider adding this sooner rather than later. I can't imagine it's very difficult to implement. Coming from Google, I use calendar reminder emails to basically manage my life. They are my to-do list, my reminders, etc. Not being able to see the event title in the email subject ruins all of this. Now I have to send myself manual email reminders AFTER I get the Proton email notification in order to make sure I don't forget things.

There is a link to the event in Proton Calendar included in the email but it involves having to click and open the calendar application when the inclusion of the event title could save this step.
