Send As (from external address - Add support for EXTERNAL SMTP servers in apps)
It would be nice to be able to send an email as a different address.
Google has a feature like this. So I can send from my schools .edu account from inside my personal gmail.

It would be awesome to be able to send PGP encrypted email from my Gmail account without
any hassle. -

Gave up waiting, dropping to another service simply because of the lack of this feature.

+3, yes please to send-as and reply-to functionality.

It would be great to be able to reply directly to an email forwarded to my protonmail inbox using the email address that it was sent to.
In particular, I'd like to use this feature with my school email address because it still uses an atrocious java web applet by default.

Absolute must have feature - has been available from other ISPs/ mail hosts long before the existence of Gmail.
I wonder if ProtonMail hasn't implemented this feature because it would undermine their business model - i.e. allow people to send from 'their domain' without having their domain e-mail hosted at ProtonMail and thus not requiring a paid for account? Come on ProtonMail, this is basic stuff

I have a custom email domain forwarded to Proton mail. I also would like a :send as feature for continuity in email replys.
Thank you.

I also find this extremely desirable. I'd prefer to encrypt my inbox through ProtonMail but my university tends to flag any address not through their domain as spam. So, I end up having to compose emails through gmail even though the address redirects to my protonmail inbox.

Key feature for me also (and a number of mates at work) for using professional adresses @compagny.com

This is the main thing keeping me using Gmail alongside Protonmail.

Super necessary for me as well

Same, I switched from google to Protonmail. But in Gmail I could handle my different professional emails from one place, while now with Protonmail I can't, because I can't answer with the appropriate email adress. So it might be SMTP, or something else (google did not necessarily need to go through smpt), or at least 'Answer to:' field, but that would be good to be able to virtually send emails from other external emails (without owning the domain).

It is similar to that proposition : https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/284483-feedback/suggestions/16750531-add-support-for-external-smtp-servers-in-apps

+1 this is a "must have" for me. Only thing keeping me out of using protonmail as my day to day e-mail!

It is a must-have for me, the only thing currently preventing me from using protonmail as my main e-mail.
Having an alias is the only way one can stay free from vendor lock-in.In my use case, I have a vendor independent e-mail address that only provides mail forward service. As soon as there is a "Send as" feature in protonmail, I will change my forward configuration from my gmail to my protonmail account.

This a make or break feature for me. My intuition is that many people using both ProtonMail and a .edu account might agree.
And just to echo the poster - there are a number of threads devoted to the subject. It would be great if we could somehow consolidate the suggestions and votes.

I think it's a feature that would decide a lot of people to join protonmail. this idea seems to be in the list in différents ideas for the same topic. Gmail lets you send a mail with an external address (username and domain name not yours). They check the address (to be sure you own this address) and then add it to a list of possible sender address.
For the moment the possible alias with protonmail have a protonmail.com or .ch domain or a domain name owned by the sender. it's a problem when you're given an external mail address for différent reasons and you want to use protonmail while sending as if you were sending it from the webmail of that external address -

I'm about to transfer from gmail and one crucial feature I'm missing is the ability to send Emails through my own SMTP Servers. I have a couple of Webservices which use Mailgun and I used Gmail as my client to send Mails through this addresses. Will there be an implementation in the near future?

Would be great to forward other emails from other accounts to protonmail and use protonmail to be able to send email as if it were from those accounts via the correct smtp servers
