Sign into multiple accounts using desktop app
The Beta Windows desktop app used to support multiple windows - I could have one window for each email account (I have two) and one for the calendar. This worked very well.
Now the app only allows one window, clicking on the start menu item just brings the current window forward. There's no support for multiple accounts in the app itself so it's now unusable for my usage case.
This may not be the right forum for this, I can't find a Beta program feedback forum or development roadmap anywhere.

As many other Proton users, I own several accounts. The possibility to switch between email accounts in the desktop app is an expected feature. Even better is to see them in the same view. Take inspiration on how the Mimestream app (mimestream.com) do several GMail accounts.

This would be a critical feature as a business customer

The ability to use multiple accounts in the desktop app is critical for me, making it unusable without this feature.

It is annoying to have to login to the web to look at my second proton account. At least with the iphone app I can toggle between proton accounts. Please make the desktop version just as good.

The desktop clients appear to be the web interface wrapped in a mutable codebase - I've checked out the Windows one and am running the linux beta in Ubuntu.
The Web has that nifty "switch or add account" button. Would be very much appreciated here where there can be a bit of stuff to handle in each of 2 Proton accounts during business hours.
How much would I like the switch capacity in the Ubuntu desktop client?
It helps workflow so much that when it's busy I close the desktop (nicely behaving for a single account) in favour of a Firefox tab that separates the 2 accounts smoothly.
Thanks for your generous invitation to note these rfes. -

The desktop app does not remember accounts. When switching from one account to another, you must always enter usernames and passwords.

I need that feature as well. Before, I never had a problem switching between my paid and free accounts. Now the app is useless for my free account - unless I upgrade it. If I have to use the browser to enter my free account, I can do the same with my paid account. Therefore, why have the app in the first place?

Absolutely a necessity. Being a top tier client, this and full windows on arm support across
all Proton apps. Especially Proton Drive.... -

This is desperately needed for those who manage multiple paid Proton accounts.

For Mac OSX please, it is a standard feature in mobile and iPad. I have 2 accounts and it is a considerable inconvenience having to constantly log out of one a/c and log into another.

I need this Sign into multiple accounts using desktop app... I am on MacOS and would be awesome to do that. Like the Web version.

I second @Christine. In the web application, I can easily switch accounts, which would also be handy on the desktop application. Windows or OSx

I have two Proton addresses and right now, I have to log out of one and log back in with the other (on desktop PC). I'd like to be able to switch like you can in the app.

Please add the ability to manage multiple Proton accounts to the Windows mail app!

MAC OSX app doesn't have the ability to switch accounts easily. User has to log off one account and then log back into another. It would be great if one can easily switch between accounts without the unnecessary additional steps. This would provide a more seamless and user-friendly experience.

Please add the ability to be signed into multiple accounts at the same time as I can have with Outlook in the desktop app specifically MacOS for me
Thank you
