Be able to change the keyboard shortcuts.
I'd love to be able to change the keyboard shortcuts in Protonmail. Especially with CTRL-Backspace for "permanently delete" that doesn't work in most browsers (tested with Brave, Chrome and Firefox). Or at least make the CTRL-Backspace shortcut work, but I don't know if that's possible because of the shortcut being used by the browsers for "delete word to the left".

Why the typing program running in Proton Mail is truly poor?
The protonmail typing program needs serious developing. The background is truly difficult to handle and there is no reasonable function to redo/cancel what has been done within the typing field. It is difficult to use! You will have to imitate the Open office for the typing program so that the rules of using it are the same and as many. ALso the cursor disappears totally. I am using the mail ona daily basis and what I do I write the text in word or open office document before painting it to the mail. The mail writing is so difficult to…

Increase the limit on number of drafts being composed
The number of drafts seems to be limited to 3, I am used to working with Microsoft Outlook where I can have many emails open, making changes/awaiting information before finalising and sending. I find this very restrictive.
Please either increase the limit or make it possible to open the email in another window/browser.

'Delete Permanently' button in the taskbar
Until the recent upgrade, one could delete emails permanently from the All Mail view. Since the upgrade, it appears you can only delete permanently from the Trash. I would like to have this feature back so I don't have to first move emails from the inbox to the trash before I delete them.
Thank you,

Quoting entire original post in reply
Currently, when writing a response, a blank email with a signature appears, and the text of the original email is not available. I have to copy the original message before replying to paste it into the reply. Or use forwarding. This is very inconvenient, and I did not find a setting that would return automatic quoting when replying.

Support keyboard shortcuts for creating numbered lists and bulleted lists
Hi - I would love to be able to use Ctrl-Shift-7 to insert a numbered list, and Ctrl-Shift-8 to insert a bulleted list as I can with Gmail. I use these all the time, so helpful. Thank you.

Use standard scrollbars (by default or a user setting)
UI designers think they're uncool and "unmodern" if they use standard scrollbars, but in terms of usability it's better. Some people still use a mouse, you know (not that a scrollbar isn't helpful also in mobile).
Also, scrollbars in browsers sometimes provide extra features, such as, when searching for a word, to show the positions of all occurrences of the search term.
So, let the native UI widgets be. If not by default, at least with a user setting.

Better UI for label management
Having just upgraded and migrated to Proton, I realised after having done a migration from Gmail that I'd rather have folders setup than labels.
Bit frustrating as there's no easy to do this, so I thought OK I'll start again. But then realised the UI for label management isn't great for handling bulk operations. i.e. it doesn't have any ability to handle bulk operations.
It would be great therefore to have checkboxes etc to enable working with labels in bulk.
Thanks,

Moving mails to folders with keyboard shortcuts - simplification
Until recently, when I wanted to move email to archive, I just
1) pressed 'M' (keyboard shortcut for 'move to folder')
2) started writing folder name
3) pressed arrow down until I was on the target foler
4) hit enter
DONEAfter a recent update of web interface I can simply select the folder by hitting enter and I need to take mouse in hand, click it and only after that I can hit enter to email to folder.
Alternative to clicking with mouse is hitting 'SPACE' for users who know that but it's still I think unnecessary extra step…1 vote -
Stack message and compose frames rather than overlapping them for simltaneous reading & writing
Currently in the desktop web client, when replying to a message that's open in the message pane, the "compose" frame where you write the message will overlap and obscure the "message" frame, which remains full width. This makes it very difficult to reply to emails because I either have to be constantly minimizing and reopening the compose window, or I have to expand the message text and scroll up and down.
The problem is impactful enough and doesn't have any known benefit to the point where i'd consider it more of a bug than a feature request.
The desktop web…

Improve wording when applying filters to existing mail
I've created two labels and two filters and applied them to existing mails without any move action, now it's telling me "Moving a large amount of messages. This may take a while."
You're not moving anything, just applying labels to at most 50 emails.
It should say "Applying filters to existing messages", "Processing a large amount of messages" or something more universal.1 voteThank you for this feedback. Indeed, our copy can be more accurate and we will work on improving it.

Collapsible Folder View
It would be awesome if the left-hand folder view could be made collapsible (into a minimised tab) to clear the view on the web portal.

Shortcuts
The app used to be great, but it's like it went through an internal sabotage. PLEASE, think about either redesigning shortcuts or allowing to customize them, or give us option to automatically forward email to a different provider, so we can leave this horrible mess of an app. Do any of the people developing the web app actually use it?
The app is basically unusable for me. I want to be able to select and delete an email or mark it read without opening it, I want to be able to use J, K keys for navigation. This used to…

Select from a choice of browsers to open when clicking a link in an email
I'd like an ability to choose which browser gets opened when clicking a link in an email. For example, if I get a link for youtube, I'd like to open on Chrome because I keep all Alphabet platforms together so their trackers stay on only one browser. It I get a link to something that is not youtube/google/etc I'd like to choose opening on a different browser so google doesn't get to spy on me.
