Contact Groups
We need to be able to group contacts, with the option to send mail to specific groups. The ability to add a group to the TO: field is a must as well, there is no way to add multiple contacts at the moment. This is a necessary feature that I have seen in every email service I have used.
Contact groups are now available in ProtonMail.

Wow. If I had known I could create a contact group I would not have moved to ProtonMail. This is a killer.

This is a very important one for teams of almost any size and allows an organisation to present itself uniformly to the outside world: help@, support@, media@ etc

It's not as great a solution as having Proton Mail actually ACT on the 2015 plan to enable users to create email groups, but this works: just create a string of email addresses in a text file, separated by commas. Like this: bob@gmail.com, linda@yahoo.com
Put all your email group lists into a single text file. Open it. Copy and paste (into the recipients line) whichever group you want to reach. Don't use a comma after the last email address in your list.

I figured out a way to do it and tested the method successfully.
1. Open your Documents folder and in there create a new folder called Email Groups. Then close out of Documents.
2. Now open your contact list for the group in Outlook
3. In another window open Notepad
4. Copy the email addresses from the Outlook group's email list into a blank Notepad document, each separated by a comma and a space
5. Now click the FILE button, choose Save As, enter the group's name as the name of the file. In the left side column click on Documents to display it's contents, then in center of window click on the Email Groups folder once to highlight it. Then near the bottom click Save. You now have created, for example, an email group file in the Email group folder. Using this method you can create a separate file for each different group.
To use it...
Open the Email Groups folder, then open the group file you want to send to. Copy and paste the lot into the Protonmail Compose BCC box. In a moment they will appear as individual addresses in the BCC box.
Enter the email text and then send it.
That's all there is to it until Protonmail adds Group function to their service. -

When is this feature going to be implemented?

I was so surprised that this feature didn't exist - I didn't even think to check this before choosing protonmail because it is an obvious need. Please put it up the list!!

Agree. My group may need to abandon prontonmail if the group list function isn't added.

This is truly needed to make protonmail the useful tool that I was hoping it would be. Why are you behind in this development?

Definitely needed !
I must regularly send emails to a group of 10 to 12 people.
As doing it manually is a pain, I do it with apple mail and my gmail address.
So of course people reply to my gmail address and it makes difficult the definitive shift to protonmailJulien

Since, at Least October 2015, this has been a requested item.
The last entry, August 30, 2015, has a yellow tagged, as planned, yet it is 2017, and still not implemented.
What, if anything, is the future?
