How can we improve Proton Mail?

← Proton Mail

Show all labels on web and desktop

On mobile, if an email has multiple labels applied, all the labels are shown side by side.
On web, I only see one label an the symbol + and number that indicates any further label applied.
There is no need to hide labels on web, there is plenty of room to show them. Also this creates inconsistency with mobile.

    This is a much needed suggestion. Kindly see to this @ProtonTeam

    If an email has multiple labels on it it is currently displayed as

    [label 1] [+1]

    Whereas I'd prefer it show the full labels

    [label 1] [label 2] etc.

    It currently does this on mobile (iOS)

    I use labels instead of folders to categorize my emails. It is driving me crazy that I only see a single label with +n which requires me to hover to see what the additional labels are. Please fix this.

    Currently, on the mobile version of the webapp when an email has two or more labels applied, there shows up a "+1"-icon regeardless if there is enough space or not, hiding the other labels and showing only one.
    To see the other labels you have to open the email which is very annoying.

    Please change that and show all labels as far as there is enogh space for that.

    The labels that are on the top of your list of labels will be the first to show. By rearranging the order, you might get the label show you want to see.

    But seeing multiple labels if present, would help me too.

    Yes please! One key purpose of labels is to make scanning your inbox more glanceable. Right now only the first label is visible, with the rest merely represented by a "+n" label that shows their names in a tooltip on hover. If horizontal space allows, I would like as many labels visible as possible, with the rest at least hinted at by their color.

    Hi,

    I'm too in favor of improved visibility of labels. Not only when there are multiple labels but for single labels too.

    I suggest to make either borders of the labels thicker or right away filled label boxes with text colors that are well visible against the label color.

    Best,
    Ezra

    If an email carries 2 labels, make them both 100% visible. Currently one is hidden behind the other - the more important one may be hidden.

    The power of labels lies in the ability to have multiple labels per email.
    At the moment, when there are more than 1 labels assigned to an email, they are stacked and you can only see the top one, having to hover over it to expand them and see the rest.

    This negates the whole point of having multiple labels as an easy visual way to identify the labelled emails.

    It would be much better for productivity and ease of use if multiple labels were unstacked and shown fully.
