Give the mobile app swipe actions a "none"
I don't use the swipe actions, but I understand they are popular. But I do use the side menu with some frequency, to check different labels for example. However, the only way to open up the side menu in the new Android app is to either hit the top hamburger button (hard to reach on many phones when using one-handed) or to swipe from the left in a space without any mails. Many of my folders/labels have more than enough mail to fill the page, so there is no real room to swipe, and I would love to just open the side menu from swiping anywhere! If we had a "none" option on the swipe actions, this could allow the flexibility.

The iOS Proton Mail app has the option to disable "swipe actions" so you're not accidentally moving your emails to Spam or Archive, etc. This option has been on the iOS app for over TWO YEARS.
PLEASE update the Android app.

I'd be happy if they'd just restore the old app behavior (I'm currently still using 3.x because of how much this hurts UI/UX), where swiping from the edge opens the side menu regardless. The hamburger menu is effectively impossible to reach on most modern phones with one-hand, making the whole app nearly unusable one-handed.
