When adding HTML code to generate the email signature it would have been so helpful to have a preview so one can see what it actually looks like.

export event as *.ics (also recurring event)
Propose to allow export event as *.ics file. Quite often is needed to create an event and send other people that event as calendar event, which can be imported regardless of used calendar. For such purposes, the *.ics event format is the best. Please allow export event as it is: either one or recurring event. Thank you!

S/MIME signature validation support for e-mail clients via Proton Bridge
Please add support, that an e-mail client connected via Proton Bridge is able to validate S/MIME signature.
Reason: Banks, delivery services, public authorities, etc. use S/MIME signed e-mails to prove that an e-mail is genuine. This helps fighting fraud, fishing and other criminal activites.
Context: Currently, S/MIME signature cannot be validate in Proton Mail. A validation with an e-mail client connected via Proton Bridge cannot validate an S/MIME signature because Proton modifies e-mail headers that are essential for a successful S/MIME signature validation.
The posted idea "S/Mime Support" at https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/284483-proton-mail-calendar/suggestions/16574134-s-mime-support requests for much more: a full S/MIME implementation.Although full S/MIME support would be great, in my opinion, the most important part is to be able to validate S/MIME signatures.

Add a filter to hide emails that are already in the Trash
Idea:
Give users an option to exclude messages that are already in the Trash folder when they search or filter their mailbox.Why this matters:
I have about 30 000 messages, many of which I have already moved to Trash.
When I use the normal “search” or “filter by sender/recipient” function, the results still include those trashed messages.
Because the Trash folder keeps items for 30 days before permanent deletion, the unwanted messages stay visible and clutter the results.What would help:
A simple checkbox or toggle such as “Hide messages in Trash” (or “Exclude trashed mail”) that can be turned on while searching or filtering.
When the option is active, only messages that are not in the Trash folder are shown, letting me review the remaining, relevant emails more quickly.Benefit:
Faster, cleaner searches for everyone who regularly cleans up their inbox.
Reduces confusion caused by seeing both active and already‑trashed mail in the same result set.
Improves overall usability, especially for users with large mailboxes or limited English proficiency.Idea:

Letting users rearrange the Proton Mail sidebar
The Proton Mail sidebar can only be rearranged starting from the "Folders" section and anything after that. It would be helpful to let users move any folder/section like "Inbox", "Spam", "Trash" or any folders created in the sidebar to where the user needs it to be between the top and the bottom of the list.
In iCloud, in Gmail and in Outlook, you can choose the order of the things in your sidebar to have what you use most often at the top and the least often at the bottom.
Thank you for reading our posts and you guys have a nice day.

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.

Improve views and format with save to pdf preview and print preview
Currently Print preview and save to pdf preview is buggy. It does not showing all of the email, borders, and pictures. The body is missing sometimes and the letters or pictures are cut off. The paper is saved as a pdf and printed incorrectly. The only work around is to export emails as a .eml. Open in other application like Microsoft outlook so it can print correctly.
It is really time consuming if when you have to do research or gather information for a lawyer and you are exporting one by one hundreds of emails.

Do Not Delete Emails to Myself When Deleted from Sent and Trash
When I send an email to myself, my Proton account email, I have two copies of the message, one in Sent and one in Inbox, when I try to cleanup my Sent folder and delete the message from that folder, it moves it to Trash and the message in my Inbox is still there, but when I empty Trash, the message is also removed from my Inbox which should not happen.

Manage Email Expiration Dates in Proton Mail
Introduction
When receiving marketing emails, I want to be able to identify messages with expiration dates, especially those that have already expired, in order to effectively declutter my inbox and actively contribute to reducing the ecological impact associated with storing these expired messages.
Problem and Context
The "Email Expiration Date" project aims to reduce the environmental impact of commercial emails by facilitating the deletion of outdated messages. Currently, email clients lack integrated tools to effectively manage the deletion of emails sent by advertisers who have set an expiration date. Implementing this feature in email clients would provide users with effective cleanup tools based on email expiration dates.
For more information about the project and the proposed standard, please refer to:
- "Email Expiration Date" project site: https://www.zerocarbon.email/
- Internet standard draft published at the IETF: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mailmaint-expires/
User Benefits
Integrating this feature would allow users to more easily clean up their inboxes by automatically deleting expired messages they are unlikely to read. With just one or two clicks, they could remove hundreds of unnecessary messages, improving email management efficiency and contributing to the reduction of the carbon footprint associated with email storage (see Ressources section).
Implementation Proposal
We are considering several options for implementing this feature:
- Search Option: Add a search option to find all expired messages in an email inbox. Users can then simply delete the messages if they wish.
- Virtual Folder/Tab: Create a virtual folder (or tab) listing all expired emails, offering the user the option to delete them with a single click.
- Expired Message Alert: Display an alert whenever more than xx expired messages are present in the email inbox, offering the user the option to delete them with a single click.
- Automatic Deletion: Allow the email client to automatically delete expired emails from a given sender from a displayed email. In this case, it is essential to obtain the user's explicit consent so that no emails are deleted without their authorization.
- Preference Center : Show the complete list of bulk email senders to the user. In this list, they can enable or disable automatic email deletion according to their preferences (and unsubscribe via List-Unsubscribe).
What we propose not to do:
- Individual expiration notifications: It is not recommended to create individual alert messages for each expired message. In addition to generating too many alerts, some spammers (and marketers) could take advantage of this to generate notifications using expiration dates.
Options and Settings
To ensure this feature is flexible and respectful of user preferences, the following options should be available:
- The ability to prevent the email client from deleting emails from certain senders via a list of senders not to be deleted.
- An option to add a sender to this list from the email reading screen.
- The ability to disable cleanup tools based on expiration dates, although the feature should ideally be enabled by default for any new installation of the email client or after the update adding this feature.
Challenges and Considerations
It is crucial that this feature be discussed within the community to anticipate and address potential challenges. For example, measures must be taken to prevent the malicious use of expiration dates, such as dates set before the email is sent or just a few hours after sending. The user must always remain in control of deleting emails in their inbox.
Priority
Given the climate emergency and the importance of reducing the environmental impact of technology, we request that this feature be considered a high priority. Every technology must adapt to minimize its environmental impact.
Usage and Adoption
Currently, only a small number of mass emails have an expiration date. According to a study by Orange in France, as of May 2024, about 5% of emails have an expiration date (source: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jonathanloriaux_orange-email-expiration-date-activity-7211730790152306689-AscM).
This is mainly due to the difficulty of enforcing an evolution of an internet standard. Although mass senders are very interested in deploying expiration dates in their emails, few sending platforms allow the addition of SMTP “Expires:” headers, and no major Mailbox Provider has implemented the technology.
Therefore, it is essential that the entire ecosystem (mass senders, mass email sending solutions, and email clients) advances to make this project a reality.
Wireframes
These wireframes are examples of what the functionality could look like in existing email clients. We will progressively add more examples.
See the wireframes here : https://www.zerocarbon.email/documentation/feature-email-expiration-email-clients/
Additional Comments
Expiration dates in emails are mainly intended for mass emails. At this stage, it does not seem relevant to allow an email client user to set an expiration date for emails they send.

RSVP functionality
I'd like to see the ability to RSVP (Respondez s'il vous plait) to events. This would allow me to easily indicate my attendance (Yes, No, Maybe) to event organizers, similar to how it works in other calendar applications.

ability to run a filter on one message
Especially for testing - running a sieve script on 5000 messages in the inbox is PAINFULLY SLOW. If it wasn't this would be less of an issue, but my scripts aren't working, and I'm trying to figure out why, and it's taking like 15-30 minutes to run the sieve script. If I could run it on one message, I could instantly (more or less) see if it's moved to another folder.

Allow 'All Mail' to be chosen as the default folder

Choose the language of the email sent by Proton for secure emails
Be able to choose the language of the email sent by Proton for secure emails. For example, if I want to send my secure message to a French-speaking customer, I'd like him to be able to receive the email in French with a link in French to “Learn more about password-protected emails” https://proton.me/support/password-protected-emails

Integration mit n8n für Proton Mail (Workflow-Automatisierung)
n8n (https://n8n.io) ist eine Open‑Source‑Workflow‑Automatisierungsplattform, die es erlaubt, verschiedenste Dienste miteinander zu verbinden. Eine offizielle Integration von Proton Mail, Proton Calendar und Proton Drive würde es ermöglichen, E‑Mails, Termine und Dateien in Workflows einzubinden, Anhänge automatisch in Drive zu speichern, Kalendereinträge aus E‑Mails zu erzeugen oder bestimmte Aktionen auszulösen. Dies würde die Produktivität steigern und Nutzern helfen, Proton‑Dienste flexibel in ihre bestehenden Arbeitsabläufe einzubinden.

Security or biometric lock for calendar
The only phone app that doesn't have a security lock in order to access (once already logged in) is the calendar. Assuming the worst and a bad actor steals your device and gets access to the phone, they have unfettered access to the calendar. Piecing data together via the calendar (data aggregation) can quickly compromise a person's identity, their circle of friends/associates, patterns, whereabouts on given days and times, etc. Having a security or biometric lock on the calendar helps add another level of OPSEC.
