Unlimited alias
need unlimited alias

Ryan commented
I've been using a custom domain with both protonmail and simplelogin. Simply by using a subdomain. Services get (for example) spotify@mail.blah.io, and friends and family get myname@blah.io. Would like the entire system integrated, simplelogin, proton pass aliases, and protonmail addresses, but this workaround works well for me.

This is so insanely important in that I switched to tuta.com, which grants unlimited email aliases for custom domain even liking Proton more (and being an user since 2020). Proton with simplelogin already has all the capabilities for that, it just needs to be implemented.

My Proton plan supports 3 custom domains but only 15 email aliases. I need many more custom domain email aliases in order to assign one email address per online account and retain the ability to reply to incoming messages.

I create unique aliases for every service and do not wish to use, nor can I always rely on my ability to use ProtonPass' browser extension to generate email addresses.
I think it's more than generous to allow any aliases at all with proton's own domains, and honestly don't think that should even be available.
For custom domains, there should be no limit whatsoever. This feature alone is literally prohibiting me from migrating from my existing email service into Proton where I'd prefer to be. I was super disappointed to discover that even a custom domain counted against the 15-alias limit.

Absolutely mind-boggling that this is not yet possible with custom domains. It's basically "my" domain, and it feels like being held "ho$tage" with 15 aliases per user/domain. I know it's possible to circument via SimpleLogin, but I don't want to use this service. I want to have nice UX and not have to explain non tech-savy people what this SimpleLogin thing is.

That's right. I'm new to Proton but already regretting it.

I have aliases since years and would have change all registrations base on the +Alias which proton offers.
Why is it so difficult to implement self-defined aliases for one email like in most other email solutions?
Proton Mail aliases seem to be for people who just stared with email address. ;)

For custom domains we should be able to use unlimited or atleast a much larger number of email aliases.
I can understand not having this feature for proton aliases but not custom.

Unlimited alias and unlimied domain names please.
You can look up to microsoft business basic plan, only for 5usd per month, we can add up to 5000 aliases and maybe unlimited domains. -

_Alias: unlimited extra addresses using the “undescore” sign, as some organization won't allow addresses with "+" sign.

I agree with other comments. On the unlimited plan, customers can add up to 3 custom domains but only 15 emails addresses? That's 5 addresses per custom domain. Why would I want a custom domain under such restriction? Come on Proton, make this realistic.
Also, I understand that alias addresses on custom domains cannot be deleted unless all emails that reference such addresses are deleted. This is because of the encryption key that also gets deleted. I have some comments:
- this prevents us from rotating a pool of "from" addresses which would help with this severe limitation on the number of aliases per account
- why anyway? With a catch-all, we still get all the receiving email addresses! What if I had some emails that came through catch-all first and after that only, I created an alias? And in any case... why delete the key?? Just because I delete the email alias doesn't mean the key needs to go and all its emails with it!! Keep the keys and optionally let the users manage them to their heart's content.
- apply the restriction (if one really must be) per custom domain, not per account. I could easily find myself in a situation where I've run out of addresses to even create the first one on a given domain. And not just 15... It isn't commercially or technically defendable. -

No. for proton's in-house domain names, Yes for customs domains.
This will hurt Proton reputation in the long run if there's "unlimited" alias for proton domains. Too many bad actors are already using Proton for illegitimate purpose because of how Proton is good at privacy and anonymity. Other service will eventually blacklist Proton altogether. There are good reasons why Gmail and Outlook are accepted worldwide and one of the reasons is they don't offer "unlimited" alias. However, I would like unlimited alias for customs domains. Fastmail has done exceptional job at aliases for custom domains, no one has even come close to them and billion years ahead of Proton. Simplelogin, while it could serves as a workaround and an alternative to Fastmail but at the end of the day, it is still a "disposal email service" and have been banned by many.

Having the threshold at 100 would enable many users to use this well.
Whereas most users are likely to use less than 20.So it may not be such an overhead whereas it improves a lot the user experience.

Give options to use features that are in simplelogin because many sites block simplelogin as it is primarily a disposable mail service.

I seriously question why simplelogin has unlimited alias and proton has only 15 when simplelogin is hosted on proton (or are they not). (I also have a custom domain btw). With reverse-aliasing and unnecessary extra step of forwarding to my actual mailbox, I can only imagine simplelogin as being more computationally intensive on the backend then an actual alias would be.
I'd personally be fine though with simple login if integration was better (like the same level as alias, where you can send from with pgp key attatched and see icons for the sender). Currently using SL for everything with my proton email just being the mailbox and domain I login to and tell no one about.

I honestly expected this would be a feature when I signed up. Where is the 15 limit from?

Ethan Allen commented
I will pay for more than 15 addresses! Please! Why did you remove the 50 address limit. Even that isn't enough. Doesn't this incentives people to create multiple accounts?

At least allow us to have unlimited aliases for our own domains. You have acquired Simplelogin, but I have set my domain up with Proton and would like to keep it that way and continue to use simplelogin with their standard domains, which do not point to my domain. 15 aliases incl. for my domain is simply not enough, especially when I cannot get back any of the aliases by deleting old aliases, which I have no intention of using anymore.

Manuel commented
I mean we can already use any alias with our e-mail address, e.g: username+alias@example.org. This would be great to keep track of those.

I kind of agree with it too (as long as it does not take too much ressources on the backend, but it could be done as alias).
Catch all emails are not a solution, it's in the name, they are catch all, not send all.
Simple login is an option but then the domain wouldn't be counted as proton mail and so not encryption by default between proton users on them.
So For custom domains (and so paid customers), having 1 free address per domain name at a minimum, and multiple identities/alias for the custom domain names would be a good solution.
