Description for labels and folders
In Proton mail when creating a label or a folder it would be very useful to be able to add a description. For example, label 'C: Finance' but the description would be something like 'Loans, mortgage, life insurance, pension, investments, and so on'.
This will mean you label or folder name can be short and the description is only visible on the adding of the label or folder or by hovering over the label or folder name.

Adding descriptions to labels and folders would make Proton Mail much easier to organize, especially for people who manage personal finances, property documents, insurance policies, and other important records. Short labels keep the interface clean, while descriptions provide the extra context needed to identify each category quickly. I also find that keeping financial resources organized makes it easier to research options and keep track of important information. For example, someone exploring private lending resources such as https://massprivatelending.com/ might want a dedicated folder for loan information, lender correspondence, and related documents. A brief description could clarify exactly what belongs in that folder without making its name too long. It would be particularly useful if Proton allowed descriptions to appear when selecting labels or hovering over them, helping users maintain a more consistent and efficient email organization system.
