Split address mode - separate emails into different inboxes
Separate email addresses are for separate things so it would be helpful to just click an email address from the menu and see only those emails sent to that specific ProtonMail address.
Multiple inboxes.
We are reviewing this idea to get closer to a clean inbox for all our users. We will let you know once we have more updates

ProtonMail Plus currently dumps all emails for all of the user's multiple addresses/aliases into the same inbox window, showing only the subject line and the recipient name. This is problematic for those using different email addresses for different purposes.
The service would be significantly improved by the simple ability to toggle the view to show mails only for a single email address at a time in the main window. It seems that something like this should be easily accomplished, since presumably system knows the address the email was directed to. So it seems that there should be the ability to put a pull-down menu, checkboxes or some other control that would enable you to see only the messages to one address or another in your account.
If this couldn't be done, at least the address that the email was sent to should be shown in the display, so that one can distinguish between the addresses in this way. It shouldn't be necessary to apply a label to all of your messages for a basic function like this, in my view.

Bridge allows either combined or separate address mode, I'd like to see this in the mobile version as well.
As a visionary customer I have the ability to use up to 10 custom domains, but it seems rather silly to route all of the addresses to the same folders. I get that your business model might be to force customers to create and pay for separate accounts in order to have unique folders, but then why offer a visionary plan that allows multiple domains and addresses only to combine them into the same folder.

In the Protonmail App (IOS, Android) you should be able to choose analogous to the mail clients like Outlook etc., whether you want to see all email addresses of your own account in a common inbox etc. (called combined addresses mode in the mail clients like Outlook) or whether you want to have the email addresses of your own account displayed separately (called split addresses mode in the mail clients like Outlook). Currently you can see in the Protonmail app only all mails of the email addresses of your own paid account in a common inbox etc. and not splitted by the different email addresses.

I agree! If I wanted them all bunched together I would have 1 email address

For users who have multiple such as myself, we need the ability to list and use each one individually. Currently, they can all be added but each shows up as the primary account, not the actual account. using the "ALL MAIL" option is not helpful and is very cluttered and confusing. I move one to trash and it still shows in the ALL MAIL tab. It's all very confusing to us new users and it will send people back to where they came. We need the ability to visibly see each individual account and use each account individually. If I want to check each one separately, I need to be able to do that. I see this has been an issue for several years now that has not been acknowledged or addressed but it needs to be in order to make your product more user friendly and attractive to potential new users.

separate inboxes for each address seems like a simple much-needed no brainer. even the quite limited apple mail has options for viewing all or each inbox. HUGE help with organizing emails!

Absolutely a must. Seems to be a basic feature that isn't here.

virtually every email program allows you to separately view inbox for each email address, in addition to the general inbox-why not proton?

I agree with the above comments. I just assumed this capability would exist when I signed up and actually quite surprised it doesn't exist. Its a must.

While ProtonMail Bridge allows to switch between combined addresses mode and split addresses mode, the iOS app only offers the combined addresses mode.
Since the multi-user features is now implemented, I would love to see split addresses mode in the iOS app. I have 10 addresses for one user and would like do split them amongst different devices.

There is already the same, but older request, see "There needs to be a separate inbox folder for each email address". Please vote there because there are more votes jet, so the request have more importance.

Disappointed in Visionary commented
Right now if you have one account with multiple addresses, you are forced to view it all in one inbox, with on screen indication of what email address is receiving any given email, until you open it. Please make it show which address is receiving an email, and more importantly, give users the option to view the inboxes of each address separately, like Gmail. Having inboxes for each address over on the left where the tags, inbox, etc are, with numbers showing how many unread messages there are would be ideal.

I was very surprised that this wasn’t a given. I mean, It’s logical as hell. It makes so much sense. I see the comments are from 2016. What’s the holdup? I don’t mean that as a rhetorical question. Really, I want to know why that simple and sensible function hasn’t occurred yet. I’ve asked it in the past, myself.

Thx, GOOD to know. WE upgraded but CAN NOT "MANAGE" any other email ONLY the 1 original. How do you add an alias? KEEPS saying WE need to UPGRADE again to "PRO" or VISIONARY !!! WE just got PLUS & VPN mo-to-mo for $12us ... however only 1 address NOT 5 like it says.

Mark commented
Totally agree. I don't see the point of separate user accounts if everything still gets dumped into a single inbox.

alias commented
The options listed on the plus account certainly implies this ability, but it seems the 5 email addresses you get are actually just aliases. Super lame, a bait and switch deal if you ask me.
And the aliases are no more that a stupid way to sort your email responses. Who needs that, maybe a parent who wants to control their kids email or something. I dont need that crap.
Just give real email addresses that are stated to come with a plus account.
