A feature to mass export or forward currently decrypted emails from within the Proton Mail app would be extremely valuable—especially in scenarios where a user anticipates losing access to their encryption keys.

There are real situations where a user is still logged into their account (and emails are actively decrypted in-session), but they no longer have access to the correct passphrase required to decrypt their stored data after a reset. Once the account is reset, those emails become permanently inaccessible.

Providing an option—particularly for paid users—to bulk export or forward all currently decrypted emails before initiating an account reset would act as a critical safeguard against irreversible data loss.

This would not weaken encryption, as the data is already decrypted within the active session. Instead, it would give users a final opportunity to preserve their data while they still have legitimate access.

Even a limited-time “pre-reset export” flow or warning prompt with export tools could significantly improve user trust and reduce catastrophic data loss scenarios.
