Category view
Managing a cluttered inbox can be overwhelming, which is why we’re automating the process. Newsletter view was just the beginning. Soon, Category view will take things further, automatically organizing your emails into smart groups — like promotions, updates, newsletters, and more. This means fewer distractions and more control, letting you find what you need faster and focus on the messages that matter most.

It was really frustrating this morning to wake up and find the unprofessionalism of Proton dropping this category rubbish on my inbox without warning or consent.
This is my primary production email. I do not expect kids to be pushing out "sneak peak" into my inbox messing up with my work flow with silly childish colourful tags/categories which had absolutely no use to me whatsoever. The fact you did this without providing a switch to turn it off, and you did it in the "on-state" by default rather than informing existing users and letting them turn it on if they wanted to test it. It was inaccurate in half of the emails anyway.
I had already cancelled the VPN, AI and password management to move to more professional services, I now see I have to do the same with my email. Something that should just remain simple but secure, you manage to completely ****-it-up.
