  1. Disable swipes

    There should be a possibility to disable swipes (either left to right, or right to left) on the phone app. More often than not I'm marking emails as spam or deleting them, just because I'm touching the interface.

  3. Option for persistent timestamp

    Currently on the web UI, the time of the email is positioned in the main list on the right, or top right in the preview of a selected email.

    But ONLY when its today. As soon as its yesterday or before, you only get the day. You then have to click down arrow icon to show the full date and time.

    Showing the date and time could be an optional feature, which would only mean the ability to set whether that down arrow is a default of down or up per user.

    That would at least mean the preview of…

  4. Manage Filters in iOS App

    Allow us to create, edit, and delete filters in the iOS app. At the very least, just adding the checkbox at the bottom "Always move sender's emails" that currently exists in the web version would be great! I mostly just use that. I mostly manage my email on my phone, but am forced to log in on my computer to simply add a filter for mail that I don't need cluttering my inbox.

  5. Search results should display folder name

    Search results display lists out all the emails that fit the search results (the search report). This shows one line per email of basic data about that email. This will show label name in the custom color--which is very helpful. However, if the email is located / assigned to a folder, the one-line display in this report/list shows a folder icon but no folder NAME.

    Even if I open that email to look at all of that email's data, there is NO indicator of where this email is located. As of March 2024, it can only exist in one folder.…

  6. Right Click / Context Menu to copy email links on web / desktop

    When I'm about to click a link in an email I often copy it in to the browser I want, or hoverer it to check for phishing links. This isn't possible in ProtonMail Web or Mac.

  7. Map HubSpot IMAP to Proton Mail

    Presently, there is no way to map HubSpot IMAP to Proton Mail. This would allow the user/account owner of HubSpot to send emails (and receive) from a client contact. You can do it with Googles, Microsoft 365 and Exchange. I do not exactly want to use these Darth Vaders....

  8. Display email attachments in a new browser tab by default

    Opening an attachment such as a PDF in Proton web mail should automatically default to a new browser tab and should not replace your current mail tab. Even holding CTRL or CTRL+SHIFT while clicking the attachment (in Windows) will not force it to open it in a new tab. The current behaviour is very frustrating and an unproductive user experience. When an email has multiple attachments each must be opened one by one, going back in the browser to open the next. If you want multiple PDF files open for reading or comparison, you're forced to download them all.

  9. Choose installation path for desktop app

    Hello,

    First of all, thank you for all the great work you are accomplishing at Proton.

    I really love the idea of using Proton via the desktop app, but one thing is a no-go for me :

    My disks are partitioned and my OS is isolated from my other installed applications.

    I don't want ProtonMail client to be installed in "%LocalAppData%\proton_mail" by default and wanna be able to choose another partition / disk to install it.

    I investigated a bit on the underlying installation system, which is Squirrel, and actually it seems to not allow installation path customization.
    https://github.com/Squirrel/Squirrel.Windows/blob/develop/docs/using/install-process.md

    Don't…

  11. Package the Proton Bridge as a Docker container

    It would be nice if we could run the Bridge as a Docker container instead of installing it locally. Just route our mail clients through it across multiple different systems.

  12. Display receiver alias in BCC mails

    When receiving BCC-only email to an alias, the alias is not displayed in the TO field of the Web UI. Instead it just says "Undisclosed Recipients".
    I can see the alias in the Headers.

  13. Add ability to unsubscribe in Android app

    Currently, you have a mechanism for unsubscribing to newsletters from the website; however, this functionality is missing from the mobile app for Android. It would be a great fix to be able to unsubscribe from the phone instead of having to remember to do it when I am back at my computer.

  14. Proton Android - Please move the 'Messaged Moved to Trash' above the bottom toolbar

    Please move the "Message Moved to Trash" popup to above the toolbar when deleting a message.

    There are times when I want to click one of the buttons after deleting a message from the inbox and the popup just sits there in the way.

  15. Better Command Palette

    As a heavy keyboard user I was happy to see you have a command palette via ⌘ + K. Only to be disappointed by it's small feature set.

    Would be nice to have more actions inside the command palette:

    • Move message to folder
    • Label message
    • Go to folder

    And anything else that you can currently do via a shortcute or via UI.

  16. Unlimited subfolder nesting

    I am requesting an enhancement of the existing subfolder management to allow for unlimited nesting. This would allow for organizational schemes such as Johnny.Decimal and others.

    Thank you for ProtonMail; love it!

  17. Switch accounts in Linux desktop app

    The linux desktop app cannot be easily re-launched independently, nor can I use multiple accounts with it; this makes it harder for me to use. Please either make it so that invocations of the application launch new instances, with configuration handled appropriately, or that individual accounts can be launched in e.g. tabs.

    I really like where this app is going, thank you for making it.

  18. Sending an email from a specific alias could be memorised on each device or based on context

    If you have different aliases, the composer always defaults to your account email.
    A fantastic feature would be to memorise the alias you use.
    1. per device
    2. depending on the context
    Example: if you have a professional device and a personal device, the app on each device could memorise the "send from" address instead of defaulting to the account email. The "send from" could also simply default to "last used" on a specific device.
    Example2: if the context is inside a folder for a specific alias, the app could be smart enough to detect that "new message" action does…

  19. Add more dates to a contact

    I would like to expand the "Birthday" date field to be a general "Important Dates" category to which you can add an arbitrary number of dates and names for those dates. You could have "Birthday" and/or "Wedding Anniversary" or whatever other dates people wanted to use.
