Sorting by correspondent like newest/oldest and largest/smallest. Thank you

Please enable this functionality. Sort by date, sender, subject, etc.

This is so useful for managing my email for many reasons: to delete groups of messages from the same person, to find messages about particular topics, to tag/label messages, etc.

This thread goes back at least five years. Proton clearly does not want to allow us to sort the emails by date or by sender. I would like to know why they don't want to do this.

I still see my comment from 2020 and 2021. Like many other posters I have several thousand emails, most of which I would want to delete. Like others I have started this several times and then gave up. I don't have the time to waste in that fashion. I started again to day and then quit. This is also the reason why I still continue to use my outlook email address.

I would not be surprised if more than half of the proton server space would not be needed if we could sort and delete by sender.

Hi, (UPDATE)
Your post along with several of my own posts and hundreds by others beseeching Proton to add various forms of email sorts has resulted in no enhancements. I finally gave up.

On my windows computer I set up the "Proton Mail Bridge" using IMAP to MS Outlook. Now Outlook is my "front end" or user interface. Apparently there is a similar bridge for macOS.

My emails are still in Proton. I can do most of the sorting and email cleanup I want in Outlook and it supports PMs labels. And as long as I don't save my emails to MS servers, my emails are still with Proton. Outlook's interface is better, I am really paying for PMs security.

I continue to use native PM on my mobile devices, but sort and cleanup my emails on my windows computer in my home office. Another advantage to Outlook, while PM supports the use of email extensions using a plus "+" sign, it does not allow the sending of new emails with the extensions. You can only send emails from PM with the email addresses set up in PM, but in Outlook you can use the plus extensions.

Hope that is a possible solution for you. Cheers.

I've had Protonmail since 2019 but am just now realliy trying to make it my email address of choice. That means managing all the old messages I've got sitting in my inbox (nearly 1500!).
Unless I can sort them by sender so I can delete swaths of them at a time (I *can* do that, can't I?), then it's going to be functionally impossible to sort and delete that number of emails.
And if I can't do that, then I'll probably just continue using my old email address (that I've had since 1986).

In the INBOX and ALL FOLDERS, where you have the column headers:

All; Read; Unread; Newest (up and down arrows)
above all emails.

Please could you add to the column defaulted 'Newest (up and down arrows)' two additional filters:

Sender (Down and Up arrows or A-Z)
Sender (Up and Down arrows or Z-A)

Thank you.

This would enable users to locate emails much more easily, especially if you can only recall the first part of a sender's name.

Being able to sort by Sender is an indispensable feature for clearing one's Inbox. I wish to sort by Sender and then select all – so then I can easily move that sender's emails into their own folder – by the dozens sometimes.

promotes superior ease of use, rather than hunt and peck in a search ( example, for senders --maybe to delete older emails, or just delete them in one swipe) Thanks

Hello Protonmail.
The lack of this sorting feature is a real pain in the bum. It can't be too hard to set it up, can it? Every other email provider that I have used has had it as standard - from the mid 1990's. Please make it a priority to add the ability to sort by the following:
name
domain
group contact
labels
attachment
date (month, days, years).

I've just had a look down this page.
My second question - does anyone from protonmail read this?

I would give a thousand votes for this if I could. I see the suggestion is 5 years old. It is unbelievable we don't have this yet. You start of wonder if this a "mistake by design", I mean, without the ability to sort mail it is a lot, and I mean A LOT, more difficult to clean up mailbox and free storage space, so, if we can't do this... we need more storage. Hope I am wrong here.

Hi Proton
Please allow the possibility to sort mails by and group mails by...
name
domain
group contact
labels...
attachment
date (month, days, years).

If possible with a new layout. A new column between the left column and the mail list. (a grouped column.).
thanks

Proton Mail should have a way to display both the From and Sender field when they are different, for example: a listserv message that is being delivered "on behalf of" a specific user/member. Currently, the person's name *is* displayed in the banner notification on mobile, but it is *not* visible when viewing the actual email from the mobile app or web browser. As far as I can tell, you have to go to "View Headers" and search to find the From/Sender section in order to find out who sent the message. For those of us subscribed to a busy listserv/email group, it is a major disadvantage when you can't easily tell who the messages in the conversation are coming from.

Hello,

i haved disabled "add to contact automatically". So i wanted to sort of by sender...can you please? We are in 2022. Can you do both please.

Yes please to SORT by sender, its one of two reasons I am not a paid subscriber.

I have 8000 emails in my inbox, how can I efficiently sort and delete without this function?
I get started now and then but tend to give up less than half way

At current, I have emails come in Sender, Subject, size, date format, and sorted by date. I would like to organize by Subject, sender, date, size. The option to show/hide any one or multiple of those filters would be great too.

A lot of times as I read a mail I like to be able to quickly view all mails by the same sender.
A suggestion for an implementation would be: As I click on their logo in front of sender name there could an option "View all mail" in addition to "New message", "Copy address", "Create new contact"

I still can't believe this has not been done. I see that quite a few of the comments including one of mine have asked for this for some years. Mine was in October 2020. I hate deleting without this feature. It is so slow, so I tend to have a lot of useless emails in my inbox. I still use Outlook for many of may emails partly because it has this feature.

I would love to have the grouping features of received emails from the same sender/mail.
I saw this feature in a different mailservice, it was lovely not having to scroll through hundred mails but having specific mail groups automatically by sender.
All emails from amazon, ebay, dhl, etc, grouped as one and upon opening it all the mails of that sender.
This makes it also easier to spot phishing mails

I would also love to have the grouping features of received emails from the same sender.
All emails from amazon, ebay, dhl, etc, grouped as one and upon opening it all the mails of that sender.

Same - all my votes. I really want to switch over from google but the lack of sorting is rough when I have a few hundred emails to go through
