Agreed. This would also be beneficial because generally the same image is used across the platform and is also standard practice for video conferencing, etc. (as the image is what shows up when your video is off, etc.).

Adding profile pictures for Proton Mail users could make email conversations more personal and easier to identify at a glance. It would be useful if the feature included privacy controls, such as choosing whether the image is visible to everyone or only to selected contacts.

I see people requesting this on Reddit for 6 years, but Proton last updated us 5 years ago. Can we get details on why this is technically difficult?

Yeah, definitely something that is needed

Email privacy is important, and Proton Mail delivers on that. However, adding a profile picture or logo should be an optional feature. Anyone who doesn't want it can just leave it as is, but I would definitely prefer having the option to set an avatar. If I'm going to use this as my primary email address, my presentation shouldn't look anonymous. Roll this out already, and I'll gladly pay for a subscription

I handle different accounts, but some of them start with the same letter. Even visualizing two would allow me to distinguish accounts a little better. Ideal would be ability to set custom letters, or a profile picture, even if just for myself. I don't care about external visibility, I just need to be able to easily see which account I'm working with.

well, Mary, that is certainly an opinion. but then again, why did they introduce the little profile picture placeholder in the upper right corner of the web ui and the android app (idk about the iphone app, but probably there too)?
just remove it entirely then...

I don't think an email client needs profile pictures

And please allow different profile picture by alias

I just wish it would allow me to set a profile picture I choose and set from my contacts list; no need to grab it from an outside source—similar to how Signal allows customization.

I’ve ADHD, visual markers (colouring and photo) are critical to helping with organization.

Optional integration with Gravitar could accomplish this while respecting user privacy.

+1 for different profile pictures / logos for each email address

Please do this Proton! This is a feature that would be so nice to have!

Literally just the ability to put a profile picture on your proton account. This will bring quite a few people to/back to proton and make it feel more like home.

It is a must

I manage a few accounts in my family package and a few start with the same letter which means I can't tell them apart. I don't care if other see my profile, but at least have it visible to my own account. On web I have one that at least has to letters, but on Android it is still only the very first character.

I don’t understand how this still isn’t a thing. I mean you can literally set a profile picture on the user voice forum!
Extremely simple to implement yet proton simply refuses. One of the reasons I will not be renewing my premium.

At the very least we need different colors in different mailboxes.

I have a business account and a private account. At least give me the option to use different colors on the avatars. Currently it's just confusing. I'm in android mobile most of the time
