I agree it's important to be able to see the calendar while writing an email. Even switching between email and calendar should be one click only - currently it's two clicks in the Windows app.

If you're not going to create a separate app, at least give us the option to choose if we want mail, calendar, or both notifications on the desktop. Right now, it's all or nothing. I don't like mail alerts, but calendar notifications are critical.

It is good to have the possibility to open both calendar and email at the same time in a different window so you can view them both at the same time so it is easier to copy something from an email in to the calendar.

This is still not possible, at least on the Mac.

No, as long as Proton are using Electron as their framework, one app is better. That's because the app framework has an extremely huge memory overhead - it already eats about 1GB of ram on my desktop. Having two of these bloated apps running would be too much.

Have hit this restriction numerous times, often you need to create a calendar event from information in an email, or vice-versa. Just need to be able to open them in two separate windows.

Instead of having the proton Mail app for windows to go in the Proton Calendar. It'll be very interesting to have two separated apps.
It will allow us to keep focus on the calendar instead of being distracted by our mails.

Would be great because email is an unnecessary distraction or detour if you only want to go to the calendar.

I was unhappy to see the separate calendar app for Windows go away. I liked the utility of having them both open at the same outside of my browser

Perhaps you could meet this requirement by allowing multiple instances of the ProtonMail app to run at once. Then we could have mail & calendar both open.

Or...consider mail and calendar in separate tabs. In fact, it would be nice to have all proton apps on Mac available as tabs of one app. (include simple login too).

This would be the next option.

I think it would be better to have separate apps instead. Need this on Mac too.

Outlook supports this. It's a surprising limitation in Proton.

We need separate notifications for ProtonMail and ProtonCalendar. So far single app forces to show both mails and calendar notifications together. The mail volume is by far more than calendar events, therefore the pop-up notifications are mostly from mail and are overwhelming. Please either separate apps to make notifications separate or allow only show calendar notifications without mail ones.

Often I find myself creating a calendar entry based on the info in an email. It would be really handy to have both windows open at the same time instead of having to go back and forth.

When I tested the first few iterations of the desktop app on Windows, it opened a new window and that was awesome. When the Linux desktop app was release, it made me very sad I can't open both of them as it just replaces the window content. I don't know how other platforms work now, but the Linux client can't open both of them which is very very sad, I would love to keep them side by side on one workspace, I have big enough monitor :)

Totally agree. I think that the idea of having an app for each function on each system is the best option. Having mail / calendar / contact splitted between three softwares in my PC, smartphone, web app, is the standard in Windows, Mac, Nextcloud ... And so should it be on Proton. I don't know if it's the best for everyone, but as it's the standard, it is what I am more familiar with, so the more produtive with.

Plenty of times when I'm composing an email I want to scan through my calendar. Or maybe I want to copy the event description and address one at a time from email to calendar. Or sometimes I want to have the calendar open but not email, so that it doesn't distract me. Lots of reasons to have them as separate apps, since they're for different purposes.

Hello, this is a pretty simple request to allow people the ability to download the current bundled Email + Calendar software, but also allow people who do not want their emails loaded locally the chance to install the Calendar only.
Thank you for reading!
