Always use hide-my-email aliases
Cross-posted from https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/comments/1haf5vn/always_use_hidemyemail_aliases/
TL;DR: Make it possible to enforce that your actual email address is always hidden.
Writing an email to a new recipient via ProtonMail without leaking your address, is a rather annoying exercise. First you have to make an alias (either via ProtonPass or directly in SimpleLogin), then you have to make a reverse alias via SimpleLogin or attach it to a contact via ProtonPass, and finally you can send your email.
There should be a button straight in ProtonMail that just says "hide my email address", and then every recipient (including CC and BCC) is turned into a hide-my-email reverse alias (or an existing reverse alias used).
Even better, a setting that always does this.

Please proton, please implement this. This is extremely needed. Just for sending a mail, I need to hop between simple login and proton mail. This is annoying. Please make it simple for your users

This is FAR more important than Proton calendar, drive, wallet etc.!

I thought it was just me that found this incredibly frustrating, especially when you forget to use a reverse alias on an email and SL blocks it. This would be much preferred over that behavior.

This is one of my biggest frustrations with proton mail/simplelogin. I have to go back and forth between apps to create the reverse-alias.
