   Mail : Advanced Search Syntax, operators and Keywords

   Having an advanced search syntax ("from:user@domain.com", "to:user@domain.com", "filetype:xlsx"...) would ease and speed up the use of the search feature among mail or other apps. Many competitors propose such feature but search engines (like Duckduckgo, Brave, etc..) might also be inspiring for a powerful search syntax.

2. Advanced PGP Key Management for Proton Mail Users

   Description

   Currently, Proton Mail allows users to manually add PGP public keys to external addresses only.
   
   This creates several limitations for users with more complex encryption setups or personal key hierarchies.

   ---

   Problem 1: Limited Manual Control

   Users cannot manually specify whether an email should be:

   • Signed only
     
   • Encrypted only
     
   • Signed and encrypted

   Instead, Proton Mail enforces a fixed default behavior per contact.
   
   If a user wishes to change how messages are sent, they must manually adjust the contact’s encryption settings each time.
   
   This slows down workflows and complicates secure communication.

   ---

   Problem 2: External Keys for Proton Addresses

   Some Proton users maintain their own personal PGP key pairs associated with their Proton-hosted email addresses (for example, to preserve local control or maintain a separate trust model).

   However, when receiving messages from other Proton Mail users, Proton’s system automatically forces the use of the Proton-managed encryption keys, preventing users from:

   • Assigning their external public key to that same Proton address, or
     
   • Choosing an alternative key manually for encryption/signing.

   This limitation breaks compatibility with privacy-focused setups or air-gapped key workflows.

   ---

   Problem 3: Security Tradeoff

   The only workaround — uploading the external private key to Proton — undermines the purpose of maintaining an offline or self-controlled key.
   
   Even if Proton’s storage is zero-access, this still requires trusting Proton’s infrastructure with a key that ideally should never leave local custody.

   ---

   Suggested Enhancements

   1. Manual Key Override
      
      Allow users to override key selection on a per-message basis, including:

      • “Sign only”
      • “Encrypt only”
      • “Sign and encrypt”
      • “Send plaintext”

   2. Custom Key Mapping for Proton Addresses
      
      Enable assigning an external public key to a Proton-hosted address, even when interacting with another Proton user.

   3. Per-Message Key Selection UI
      
      Add an “Advanced” or “PGP Options” dropdown when composing a message to select signing/encryption behavior or which key to use (similar to Thunderbird or GPGMail).

   ---

   Rationale

   These improvements would benefit advanced users who manage their own key infrastructure or use Proton as part of a broader privacy toolchain.
   
   They enhance flexibility and control without compromising usability or Proton’s secure defaults for non-technical users.

3. „Reminder“ function in Proton Calendar

   I think it would be really useful if I could set a one-off event in Proton Calendar. Apple Calendar calls this a ‘reminder’. It’s very handy if you’re meeting someone at a specific time, need to be somewhere at that time, or simply want to be reminded.

4. Make swiping more fluid, just like in the old Proton Mail app on iOS

   In the old version of the Proton Mail app on iOS, you could easily swipe a message to delete it. Now, when you want to delete a message by a quick swipe, it stops and shows you the bin icon. Only when swiping again, or clicking the bin icon, it deletes. This is not as intuitive and by far not as satisfying.

7. Open attachments in a separate tab or window

   It is already possible to preview PDFs and images in attachments. I propose a feature that would allow to open attachments in a separate tab or window. This way it would be possible to view attachments and read emails at the same time. At the moment, doing this requires downloading the attachment and opening it in a separate application. This should be optional behaviour and the user should be able to choose how they wish to view attachments.

9. A setting to optionally include the "From" email address in the Inbox View

   There should be a setting to optionally include the "From" email address in the Inbox View (in addition to the email Display Name, which is the default).

   I feel that not having this as an option is a security vulnerability. Here is an example: a local company (vet, physical therapy, chiropractor, etc.) outsources various aspects of online client interaction (feedback surveys, OTP, appointment reminder, billing, etc.) to various 3rd party companies. As a result, I receive emails from 4-5 different companies that all use identical Display Names ("XYZ veterinarian"). I have gotten used to the idea that it's normal to receive emails from 4-5 domains for one company that I patronize.

   If I'm not careful, it would be incredibly easy for a malicious actor to slip in one additional email domain with an identical Display Name. Before I know it, I've clicked a link or entered my information compromising my account.

   Without the ability to choose to view the actual Email Address in the Inbox View, it becomes easier to get phished.

   P.S. I am aware that I can hover over the Display Name in order to see the Email Address, but if I have a lot of emails I'm reviewing quickly that becomes tedious.

10. Smart Autofill Suggestions for Event Titles & Locations

    I’d love to see Proton Calendar add smart autofill suggestions for event titles and locations based on previously created events, similar to how Google Calendar handles event creation.

    Example:

    If I previously created an event called:
    “Jake - Hanging out”

    Then the next time I create a new event and start typing:
    “Jake”

    Proton Calendar would automatically suggest:
    “Jake - Hanging out”

    If there are multiple past events starting with “Jake”, it could show a dropdown list of matching previous entries. The same functionality would also be very useful for the location field.

    Why this would help:
    • Keeps naming consistent across events
    • Makes calendars look cleaner and more organized
    • Speeds up event creation
    • Reduces repetitive typing
    • Improves usability for recurring social events, meetings, appointments, etc.

    Suggested behavior:
    • Suggestions appear only from the user’s own previously created events
    • Suggestions update as the user types
    • Selecting a suggestion autofills the full title or location
    • Optional toggle in settings for users who prefer manual entry only

    This would make Proton Calendar feel much faster and more refined for everyday use.

    Thank You!

11. Optionally mark email as read when archiving

    I'll often go through a bunch of newletters and archive them, often without reading them. When I do, they still appear in 'All Mail' as unread. It would be good to optionally be able to 'Mark Read' when an email is archived.

12. Drag a calendar item to make it longer (not just move it from one time to another)

    In Outlook and iCal, you can go to the bottom of an event and drag it down to extend the length of the event without opening it. It saves a lot of clicks when you know something is just going to go longer or it's a work-block you want to extend. Not a huge game changer but saves little clicks.

13. Name the color labels in calendar so I remember what I chose for a category

    I love being able to use colors for a category of meeting in calendar (red, blue, etc) but then I sometimes have to look back and confirm what I chose for a previous type...would be great if we could rename then from the color to "school", "work", etc.

    I can't see whether someone already posted this since there are so many ideas suggested. Sorry if it's a repeat.

14. Allow users to generate separate SMTP credentials to enable secure third-party integration

    Note: This is a different request than the similar SMTP Token customization.

    Problem Statement

    Currently, Proton Mail (including Proton Bridge) uses the same authentication credentials for both receiving and sending email. This creates a security risk when integrating third-party services:

    Single Point of Failure: Any service with my credentials can send emails from my account
    No Safe-by-Design Option: Even if I instruct an AI agent not to send, there's no technical enforcement
    Least-Privilege Violation: Services that only need to read/process mail shouldn't have send capability
    

    Use Cases

    AI Email Assistants: Sort, prioritize, summarize incoming mail without send risk
    Automation Scripts: Process incoming mail for workflows (e.g., ticket creation, notifications)
    Third-Party Filters: Advanced spam filtering, categorization services
    Backup Solutions: Secure mail archiving without send capability
    

    Greatest security threat is AI agents. Handing the ability to read emails to an agent automatically allows it access to sending mail as well. AI agents should not be able to access SMTP and admin panels just with the credentials to read email.

    Quick test implementation opportunity: Implement it in Proton Mail Bridge first. This should be a relatively minor update without impacting the general Protonmail service.

15. Allow for Adding Custom Proton Meet Links to a Calendar Events

    It doesn't appear that users can edit a calendar event with a Proton Meet link that is not auto-generated. I am never the host for meetings and due to privacy concerns we do not share emails or send calendar invites. It would be nice to have the built-in Proton Meet Conferencing option support manually adding links.

17. Native "Free/Busy" Website Embed (Bypassing Google)

    Dear Proton Team,

    I am a dedicated Proton user relying on your services for privacy. However, I am facing a major hurdle in using Proton Calendar for my business workflow.

    The Problem: I need to display my availability to clients on my website (e.g., Wix, WordPress). Currently, there is no native way to do this. The only workaround is sharing an ICS link to Google Calendar and embedding that. This fails for two reasons:

    Sync Latency: Google updates subscribed calendars very slowly (up to 24 hours delay), leading to double bookings.

    Permission Conflicts: Google treats subscribed Proton calendars as "read-only" and blocks the public embedding of these "guest" calendars due to privacy settings I cannot change.

    The Request: Please introduce a Native Public Embed Feature.

    Function: Generate a secure HTML iframe code directly within Proton Calendar.

    Privacy: This view should strictly show "Free/Busy" status, stripping all titles, descriptions, and locations server-side before rendering.

    Benefit: This would allow professionals to display real-time availability on their websites while keeping their data within the Proton ecosystem, removing the need for Google entirely.

    This feature would be a game-changer for freelancers and consultants who prioritize privacy.

    Thank you for considering this!

19. undo button

    It would be nice to have an undo edit button like most Microsoft programs. A button with a cylindrical arrow that undoes the last edit made, and stores them so one can go back multiple steps. Keyboards are so touchy that, especially if one is not a great typist, is easy to highlight an entire section, for instance, and replace it with the next thing one types. Being able simply to undo a catastrophic mistake rather than having to retype entire paragraphs would be a useful feature. I don't need to be punished for my typing errors--I know my typing is terrible.

    When replying to an email, and it was sent from an alias, auto select that alias, so the person knows who it is from. Having to manually select an email address can get tedious. A toggle could be added to allow this behavior or not.
