Forwarding email from Proton Mail
It would be great if we had the option to forward email to other email providers. services.
Thanks to your feedback, you can now automatically forward emails sent to your Proton Mail account to any email address: https://proton.me/support/email-forwarding
Email forwarding is available for everyone with a paid Proton Mail plan.

Yes, yes, yes! My kid's school only emails me and bio-dad, so step-dad gets nothing. I want to build a filter to label the messages as "school" (which I can currently do), AND automatically forward them to step-dad.

Add option in Filter to allow condition based email forwarding

Yes I know it's insecure, but I would like this feature so that I can forward to email to other family members. At a minimum, it would be nice if forwarding could be enabled between different proton mail users.

Also combine this request with "Email notification (to external email address) " and request "Filter Notifications"

Auto forwarding based on a filter would be so useful. The primary use case for me would be to auto-forward account statements to wife/clients/attorney/etc.based upon sender domain.

When is this gonna happen? This is a basic feature, and I’ve never seen any other major email service not offer auto forwarding

I want to set up an account for my 9 year old, but she doesn't have her own device. I need to be able to forward her emails to mine or my wife's so we can alert her when she receives an email or otherwise allow a parent or other family member to be alerted when an account receives mail.

Why are people saying forwarding is insecure? There are step by step instructions on how to send a message to a non-secure client... why isn't this feature included?

Proton - you even state this is implemented internally for our entire account... why is forwarding not just a "send existing to: " option? -

Amen... I'm a Protonmail client and need this forwarding feature! It would be super helpful. As others say: sure, also add a big fat warning label so people know the forwarded messages won't be encrypted. The point is that ProtonMail needs to allow people to CHOOSE to use their account in an unencrypted way *if they actively & positively want to do that, even after being informed of the risks*. Also important: to make it really easy for users to turn OFF the forwarding function ;)

One other use case: my wife and I have a joint address that forwards to both of our personal addresses. It's on an ad-supported service and I'd rather have it here. I'd like to be able to set up a filter rule which forwards mail to that specific alias to an external address as well as deliver it to my inbox. All of the incoming email should be external, so encryption isn't an issue for me.

This interface is the bane of my existence.
It has started to serious impact my business effectiveness.
Your keeping this specific feature unavailable... drives me to specific outcome -

Yes this is definitely a "must have" feature. I love security, but cannot sacrafice everything for it. I wish I knew of all the limitations I was ham stringing my self with when I paid for a subscription and even more so before I got everything setup and "working".

Allow users to forward ProtonMail to another account during periods when PM is not needed.
Mail forwarding is not only needed when trying to transition off of PM. It is also very useful when using PM during travel in 'dicey' areas and not using corporate accounts (which can then be forwarded to PM). But then to converse is also useful... being able to forward PM emails to the corporate account when not on travel.

As an alternative, how about more immediate notification, to the alternate email, advising a new email has arrived in Protonmail? The PM system currently sends one notice per day which is not timely enough.

use one custom filter to move an item to a folder and forward it at the same time

+3 for forwarding: I have several email addresses that, when I receive an email from them, I want immediate notice of receipt via text (e.g. forward to 2125551212@vtext.com). I don't need the body of the email, I just need to know I received an email from them.
In GMail, I have a filter that does this easily.
Until this exists, I will have to keep my GMail account (which is main reason I found ProtonMail, ie eliminate GMail).
