If privacy remains a concern regarding profile pictures, perhaps a pop-up could display before a user uploads their picture telling them not to use a photo of their face in order to retain their privacy. For example, a company logo or scenic landscape photo could be used. Adding profile photos would make Proton users appear more professional and improve the reputation of Proton services. Lacking a profile picture gives the impression to users of other email providers that we haven't put in the effort to finish setting up our email accounts.

Having a profile picture for each individual identity/address would be a really nice addition, and seems like it'd be simple enough to finish implementing.
Profile pictures are more than just a chat application feature. It can be used to brand your addresses for business/work reasons. It's even useful for just personal use. Similar reason why videos have thumbnails, phone/pc apps have icons, and just about every other email service has it: profile pictures help make you stand out. When I glance at my inbox, it takes me no time at all to identify the different services, all thanks to the profile pictures.
People screaming that it's an invasion of privacy are ridiculous. It's an opt-in feature that only people you're in contact with will see. If you're also already given the ability to share ANY FILE YOU WANT using Proton Drive, then what's stopping them from allowing me to use & share a basic 32x32 image?
I see no reason at all not to include it and it's just a little baffling it still isn't.

Having the possibility to set your logo instead of the initials would be a very important feature if you're using Protonmail, for example, for your company.

Could it be possible to add a picture to the mail profile ?
It will be great to have the picture of the person sending email instead of a letter. -

This would be a great addition to Proton Mail. I just joined, and I spent a long time unsuccessfully searching to add a profile photo. Please add this capability. I can add photos for my Proton contacts, but not for myself. Why? This should have been done from the outset. I have profile photos for all of my other email accounts.

It would be very helpful for us to to have the option to have a profile picture for our business accounts. It would help recipients of our mails as identifier. Please consider to establish this as an option.

Make it like Skiff. They did a great job of this. They also pull in logos for all the emails received. It makes a bit difference in user experience.

As a pro user of Protonmail I am very pleased with all of the features we enjoy on this platform. But it would be very nice to be able to use a photo of ourselves or a logo that will show in the inbox to differentiate us from other mailers.

It would be great if we could add a profile picture to the account, as I tried doing that but couldn't find the option to add an image.

I have noticed that our email accounts are identified by the initials of our names, which is practical. However, I would like to suggest the possibility of adding account pictures or gravatars to our accounts.
Adding account pictures will not only provide a more personal touch to the user experience but also make it easier to recognize accounts, especially for those of us who have multiple accounts in use. This is a feature that many other email providers offer, and I believe it would be a positive addition to ProtonMail.
Thank you for taking the time to consider this suggestion.

"Wish I could downvote suggestions"
I'm glad you can't because this is merely reactionary.
"This is a very stupid feature because protonmail is a privacy company. Adding pictures would give proton more sensitive data to store and could deanonymize the users"
Why would they store it? Proton's security is client-side.
"Uh - No thank you. I want LESS pictures on the web. That's why I'm in a Secure Mail Client"
Irrelevant. Don't upload one. Use an AI generated face from this-person-does-not-exist.com.
Yes I would really like to have this feature. It is not as critical as having threaded messages in the Android app. But it would be nice to be able to use my corporate logo.
But sadly we have all figured out by now that when Proton says something is "planned", it's code for "will not happen anytime in the next millennium".
Because if they meant to implement it, it would take a day or two.

Isn't this accomplished by using Gravatar.com?

I completely agree. It makes the product worse by not having this feature.
