How can we improve Proton Mail?

← Proton Mail

Undo Send

Implement a 'send email delay' when you press Send button it does not send email immediately, just with a slight 5 to 10 second delay, or ability to cancel sending an email after I press Send button.
Just like Google has in its Gmail.

    I would like to have the option of scheduling mail delivery.

  • Becky commented  ·   ·  Report

    I would like to see an "Undo Send" feature, as found in Gmail. This is essentially a delay in sending, I guess, during which you can click an "Undo" link that appears in the bottom of the screen after you have hit "Send" on an email, for a varying amount of time that you can set (ex. 20 seconds). This gives you the chance to abort the send and tweak the message if, after hitting send, you realized you had forgotten something or you wanted to change the tone. It's something I find I use quite often for work.

    YES PLEASE I NEED THIS SO BADLY

    Please create a feature that would allow a delayed sent on email. A 30 second to 1 minute delay send would be fantastic. Schedule send is another great option.

    Planned since > 3 years?

    I would like to see a delay up to 10minutes before the email actually sends, if say I am sending something important/formal. Once it's on the net then there's no going back. Better safe than sorry.

    @ProtonMail : this feature could be a good commercial advantage because Inbox will be turned off in March 2019 !!!!! And there is no good alternative to this feature anywhere !

    I want the same feature too. But to be more precise, I want to be able to differ an email that I want to be deal with tomorrow etc...

    This allow people to keep an "empty" inbox everyday and to see "email task" arriving when you have time to deal with it.

    As OCD (literally) as I am, I still make mistakes, including accidentally hitting send before intended, or realizing I forgot to add or remove something, etc. I don't use it often, but the few times I have had to use Gmail's Undo Send feature it has saved my butt. It's a small thing, but I don't see myself committing to a service that doesn't include it. Thanks.

    The obvious reason for this to *not* exist is because you ALWAYS should read your email before sending it.

    But I'm giving it 3 votes because, tbh, no one ever has read their email again until it has been already sent.

    An outbox is the perfect place for sheduled email and yes, a revoke function could be implemented there for any kind of email.

    THIS IS AN IMPORTANT SECURITY FEATURE FOR ANONYMITY:
    Seen on other email services. Delay the delivery of an email so entities that are watching your IP address cannot link you to emails sent, via your IP requests.

    Provide options depending on users urgency:
    - Random 15mins
    - Random 1hr
    - Select time/date

    Hi,

    It would be nice to be able to schedule / delay the delivery of messages. Prepare an email and when clicking send, you could set a time and date for the delivery of that message.

    Most of the other web services have it so why not yours?

    Thank you

    This delaying feature should be implemented if the developers have time. It would be implemented on the front server side (the MTA) or the client interface if possible....

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    To postpone procedure of email sending.

    Implementation:
    show delay icon (usually clock icon) and user can set any exact time or predefined 30 mins, 1 hour, 24 hours, 48 hours, etc.
    Probably server-side: mobile users and web app users should sends postponed emails to server and server waits to send it

    Ability to revoke email send.
    1) May be by id or by clicking Forward on that previously posponed email which already sent to server and which copy user has in his Sent folder.
    2) May be server should auto-reply with msg "your email <title> will be send to <recepient> at X:XX PM" and graphical btn below "Revoke" which can be styled as "Clear Cache" in the Android app.

    Why server side implementation?
    Ability to close web browser or to be offline on smart phone should not decide the ability to send email.

    Thank you!

    Delay of more than just a few seconds would be very useful.
    Ability to send at a certain time, for example, delay sending email until 7am the next day.
