1. Importing email from Gmail -> don't turn folders into labels

   The mass import from Gmail to Proton Mail was great....except my extensive set of folders/sub folders got turned into one massive list of labels.

   Please either make

   (1) an option where a label category can be converted to a folder; or
   (2) make it so Gmail folders are imported as folders with their nesting folders under them.

   Having to convert everything manually is excruciatingly tedious.

   Thank you for your consideration!

2. Manage Email Expiration Dates in Proton Mail

   Introduction

   When receiving marketing emails, I want to be able to identify messages with expiration dates, especially those that have already expired, in order to effectively declutter my inbox and actively contribute to reducing the ecological impact associated with storing these expired messages.

   Problem and Context

   The "Email Expiration Date" project aims to reduce the environmental impact of commercial emails by facilitating the deletion of outdated messages. Currently, email clients lack integrated tools to effectively manage the deletion of emails sent by advertisers who have set an expiration date. Implementing this feature in email clients would provide users with effective cleanup tools based on email expiration dates.

   For more information about the project and the proposed standard, please refer to:

   • "Email Expiration Date" project site: https://www.zerocarbon.email/
   • Internet standard draft published at the IETF: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mailmaint-expires/

   User Benefits

   Integrating this feature would allow users to more easily clean up their inboxes by automatically deleting expired messages they are unlikely to read. With just one or two clicks, they could remove hundreds of unnecessary messages, improving email management efficiency and contributing to the reduction of the carbon footprint associated with email storage (see Ressources section).

   Implementation Proposal

   We are considering several options for implementing this feature:

   1. Search Option: Add a search option to find all expired messages in an email inbox. Users can then simply delete the messages if they wish.
   2. Virtual Folder/Tab: Create a virtual folder (or tab) listing all expired emails, offering the user the option to delete them with a single click.
   3. Expired Message Alert: Display an alert whenever more than xx expired messages are present in the email inbox, offering the user the option to delete them with a single click.
   4. Automatic Deletion: Allow the email client to automatically delete expired emails from a given sender from a displayed email. In this case, it is essential to obtain the user's explicit consent so that no emails are deleted without their authorization.
   5. Preference Center : Show the complete list of bulk email senders to the user. In this list, they can enable or disable automatic email deletion according to their preferences (and unsubscribe via List-Unsubscribe).

   What we propose not to do:

   1. Individual expiration notifications: It is not recommended to create individual alert messages for each expired message. In addition to generating too many alerts, some spammers (and marketers) could take advantage of this to generate notifications using expiration dates.

   Options and Settings

   To ensure this feature is flexible and respectful of user preferences, the following options should be available:

   • The ability to prevent the email client from deleting emails from certain senders via a list of senders not to be deleted.
   • An option to add a sender to this list from the email reading screen.
   • The ability to disable cleanup tools based on expiration dates, although the feature should ideally be enabled by default for any new installation of the email client or after the update adding this feature.

   Challenges and Considerations

   It is crucial that this feature be discussed within the community to anticipate and address potential challenges. For example, measures must be taken to prevent the malicious use of expiration dates, such as dates set before the email is sent or just a few hours after sending. The user must always remain in control of deleting emails in their inbox.

   Priority

   Given the climate emergency and the importance of reducing the environmental impact of technology, we request that this feature be considered a high priority. Every technology must adapt to minimize its environmental impact.

   Usage and Adoption

   Currently, only a small number of mass emails have an expiration date. According to a study by Orange in France, as of May 2024, about 5% of emails have an expiration date (source: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jonathanloriaux_orange-email-expiration-date-activity-7211730790152306689-AscM).

   This is mainly due to the difficulty of enforcing an evolution of an internet standard. Although mass senders are very interested in deploying expiration dates in their emails, few sending platforms allow the addition of SMTP “Expires:” headers, and no major Mailbox Provider has implemented the technology.

   Therefore, it is essential that the entire ecosystem (mass senders, mass email sending solutions, and email clients) advances to make this project a reality.

   Wireframes

   These wireframes are examples of what the functionality could look like in existing email clients. We will progressively add more examples.

   See the wireframes here : https://www.zerocarbon.email/documentation/feature-email-expiration-email-clients/

   Additional Comments

   Expiration dates in emails are mainly intended for mass emails. At this stage, it does not seem relevant to allow an email client user to set an expiration date for emails they send.

3. Remember last snooze

   Add the previous used snooze date to the drop down.

   Ex. If I snooze one email on Friday the 13th september at 09:00, show this again if I want to snooze another email-

4. Calendar app: display multiple-day events as one long entry instead of small entries in each day

   There is a difference in UI in the web version of calendar and in the app (iOS).

   When I create an event that lasts several days, in the web I see the event as one entry spread across all days. This is comfortable for the eye and I can see the full name of the event.

   But in the app the same event is shown as separate small events in each day-cell. This feels quite heavy for the eye and since you also have quite narrow spaces in the cells in general (compared to Google Cal) - the name of the event is not displayed in full. So I have let's say 6 cells full of some small entries titled "Eve....", "Eve....", "Eve....", "Eve....", "Eve....", "Eve....".

   This is really user unfriendly and would be cool if we had consistency in the web and the app versions.

8. Setting event time with keyboard

   I'm trying to use the keyboard more and the mouse less. When I create a new event that is not an all-day event l always stumble when setting the time. Let's say I want the start time to be 08:00. I start typing "08". The time picker pops up, and the time "08:00" is highlighted. So far so good. But now I expect to be able to select the highlighted time by tapping the enter key, the space key or the tab key. None of them work. I either have to click in the time picker with the mouse or enter the full time "08:00" followed by the enter key. Also, I wish that I could set the time to "08:15" by typing "0815" plus the enter/space/tab key, i.e without the colon character.

10. Persistent sidebar for iPad/tablet in landscape mode

    Hi, I'd like to see a settings toggle to allow the sidebar to be permanently visible on my iPad (and other tablets) in landscape mode. For me this would allow quicker navigation around the app and my folders, currently there's an awful lot of tapping and swiping that could be cut down on.

11. Add a filter to hide emails that are already in the Trash

    Idea:
    Give users an option to exclude messages that are already in the Trash folder when they search or filter their mailbox.

    Why this matters:
    I have about 30 000 messages, many of which I have already moved to Trash.
    When I use the normal “search” or “filter by sender/recipient” function, the results still include those trashed messages.
    Because the Trash folder keeps items for 30 days before permanent deletion, the unwanted messages stay visible and clutter the results.

    What would help:
    A simple checkbox or toggle such as “Hide messages in Trash” (or “Exclude trashed mail”) that can be turned on while searching or filtering.
    When the option is active, only messages that are not in the Trash folder are shown, letting me review the remaining, relevant emails more quickly.

    Benefit:
    Faster, cleaner searches for everyone who regularly cleans up their inbox.
    Reduces confusion caused by seeing both active and already‑trashed mail in the same result set.
    Improves overall usability, especially for users with large mailboxes or limited English proficiency.

14. Integration with Scheduling and Task Manager applications (Reclaim, Motion, Morgen.so)

    Scheduling and Task Management applications like Reclaim, Motion and Morgen.so are cool tools to increase productivity and get your tasks automatically assigned in your calender.

    An integration with proton calender for such tools would be great. However, due to the encryption standards from proton I assume it could be a bit complicated to let third party apps access data from proton apps.

    Even better then would be a own integrated solution in proton calender for this. I know this is not a common and normal calender feature and there might be other, more important, priorities to focus on, but a feature like this would make proton calender stand out even more from other calendar apps, which until now have been dependent on third-party apps.

17. Allow Sorting Emails by Folder AND Label Simultaneously

    Currently, Proton Mail lets us organize by Folder or Label, but not both at once. When we open a folder like Shopping, we see every email mixed together. We can't instantly filter that view to show only the items we tagged, for example, with Return or To Do.

    Because of this, many of us end up giving up on folders entirely to avoid the clutter, relying solely on labels. Others create deep subfolders (like Shopping/Returns) just to find specific items, which hides emails and slows navigation.

    We would love the ability to filter a Folder's contents by a Label. This would let us keep a simple, flat structure while instantly narrowing our view to find exactly what we need.

    Common Scenario:

    - We need a flight confirmation or a return receipt from last month.
    - Currently, we scroll through hundreds of emails or guess which subfolder holds it.
    - With this feature, we could click Travel or Shopping folder, filter by Receipt label, and see the result in seconds.
    

    This change would help us stay organized efficiently, combining the best of both worlds without extra clicks.

19. S/MIME signature validation support for e-mail clients via Proton Bridge

    Please add support, that an e-mail client connected via Proton Bridge is able to validate S/MIME signature.

    Reason: Banks, delivery services, public authorities, etc. use S/MIME signed e-mails to prove that an e-mail is genuine. This helps fighting fraud, fishing and other criminal activites.

    Context: Currently, S/MIME signature cannot be validate in Proton Mail. A validation with an e-mail client connected via Proton Bridge cannot validate an S/MIME signature because Proton modifies e-mail headers that are essential for a successful S/MIME signature validation.

20. Docker Version of Bridge (linux)

    Provide an official repository for Proton-Bridge as a Docker Container. Currently its only possible to connect Protonmail via IMAP to other docker services (Ollama-AI, Paperless-ngx) using one of many community made and managed docker images. Since many people are doing it, surely its better to provide a secure and trusted option.
