It's very nice to have as a business account, even more so for cross-platform emails as a lot of clients may not be proton users

This is an essential feature, especially as someone who uses Proton for my Business.

Would need to consider when you want to be public and when via alias your protecting your identity.

When I am in my email on Proton, there's already a placeholder for a possible user photo, but when I click into it and go where I think I'd change the profile picture (PFP), all it does is highlights the letter that might appear when I send an email--no option to upload a custom logo that would appear to those who receive my messages. Where do I change my PFP? This would be a nice feature in Proton Calendar, too, especially since I can share a publicly-accessible link to the calendar. And you know what, even the Drive could benefit from having a PFP sometimes.

To Proton and anyone reading, I cannot emphasize enough-- ProtonMail is sooooooooo, SOOOOO close to being at a point where I could practically and near-fully stop using Gmail or any other major email service all together if I wanted--aside from instances where I must use those other services that consistently annoy people with ads or other aspects.

Like it or not, having a company logo (or in my case, a screen name and profile picture) appear when I send an email to someone is important. If the PFP only shows a letter instead of a custom logo, I do believe some people are going to, at first, suspect it's a sc4m even though it's not--It's my genuine, new email I want to go with in the future when communicating with people. I'm a noob in how this feature would be implemented and the challenges therein, but since I can have my own choice of name appear for the email I am using when sending mail, I don't see any obvious reason PFP's couldn't be the same way, custom profile picture when sending messages. And hey, if storage is a concern, limit it to a small res or less than 2000 kb or something--most major services do this already.

I know others have mentioned this feature idea, but I wanted to give my own thoughts on it.

Again, I cannot emphasize enough, ProtonMail is genuinely soooooo close. I can schedule emails to send out at a certain time of my choosing. I can embed images, then highlight said images and link to websites. I can create a list of email addresses to send to, making it easy to send to those who want a newsletter, etc. Not only do I have labels, I have folders. I can do in ProtonMail virtually everything I normally would do in Gmail or other major email clients except for a custom PFP. In many cases aside from PFP, I can do more than I can in any other major email client--for example, I don't believe I can have five Gmails tied to the same account and inbox.

TL;DR: Please add the option to upload a custom profile picture so that when I send emails, the receiving contact is likely to see my profile picture so long as their client accepts displaying a profile picture. Having a letter appear instead of a logo, especially when people are used to seeing that logo, is vital. The layout to implement this feature is already there, so in my opinion, this is a change/upgrade to an existing feature rather than a new feature.

Been saying this

100% would be no nice - and have the ability to choose to share or not maybe only if theyre in contacts/trusted sender etc

Agreed! I work with many professionals that may or may not use Proton, and having a profile picture would help with branding and knowing right away who the email is from.

This is such a trivial feature to implement, yet so important for many people, come on Proton. Many of us, me included, are paying customers, please listen to this feedback!

come across as unprofessional to not have this

Profile pictures would be a value add for professional & business users for PROTON ACCOUNT . . . . what up with the not available option??? Kinda not up with the times, in my view.

I wish we have an option to put a profile picture into our proton mail. It will help out recipients to know that the email is coming form the correct person.

I originally came up with my idea for my email address so that I could put a really cute picture for my profile, so it was disappointing to find that I could not have that picture as my profile

As someone who uses proton professionally for their business. It would be nice to be able to send a picture with my company logo in my profile picture that recipients could see instead of just an R in a circle.

2024 and sadly still no option to upload a profile picture.

Please make this happen.

Need profile pictures, 100%.

Add the ability to upload a profile picture to replace boring letters between ProtonMail users and other e-mail providers if safe to do so.
