Assign emails tasks with priority
Being able to make an email a task with a certain given priority would be extremely helpful in organizing emails. And then being able to sort those emails according to their task priority, so that the emails with the highest priority appear on top. I use it every day in Outlook. Proton should offer it too.

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
-
Manual Key Override
Allow users to override key selection on a per-message basis, including:- “Sign only”
- “Encrypt only”
- “Sign and encrypt”
- “Send plaintext”
Custom Key Mapping for Proton Addresses
Enable assigning an external public key to a Proton-hosted address, even when interacting with another Proton user.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.Description

Bulk Unsubscribe to Newsletters
I like the long needed unsubscribe button and view for all of the newsletters.
Though, there are many email in my main inbox or spam that don't get caught by the newsletter view, and it's annoying in both the view tab, or the main emails to unsubscribe from each email manually.
I'd like to be able to select emails in my main inbox, or the newsletters view with a dialogue option to bulk unsubscribe ( and/or move and mark as read). I just had to sift through 200 newsletter emails and manually unsubscribe from each, that's not including what was not caught by the newsletter filter.

Permit Handling of attached files ie ISO 26300 (.odt/ods) open office formats
Protonmail frequently shows an inline file with standard suffix which it states preview is not supported. Many times these files are standard non-proprietary format (ie ISO 26300 or .odt or .ods). Yet, it does support and display proprietary files (ie Microsoft .docx).
This behavior is prejudicial and quite frankly a waste of time, bandwidth and storage to have to download to a temp storage location, find the file and where it was downloaded from LibreOffice/OpenOffice and reopen it.
It would be a straightforward program fix on files flagged as unsupported view types to permit the user to redirect the file to a program which can view the file, even on a read only basis. The present schema may leave files with sensitive data floating around a computer or force more users to proprietary formats run by big tech, which does who knows what with the contents in this era of pseudo Intelligence programmng.

email sweep
Microsoft's Outlook email app has a feature called "Sweep," which allows one to highlight an email, and then take action on and set up a rule for all emails from that sender.
Options include:
Move all messages from the Inbox folder
Move all messages from the Inbox folder and any future messages
Always keep the latest message and move the rest from the inbox folder
Always move messages older than ten days from the inbox folderThe default destination is "Deleted Items." Other options include:
Junk Email
Inbox
Archive
or any other folder the user chooses or creates.It is very helpful for keeping one's inbox tidy, and could possibly ease the storage requirements on the server. It greatly simplifies the task of deleting an entire class of emails.
While I appreciate Proton not wanting to overcomplicate its products, it is possible that the overhead implementing it would entail might be obviated by the savings in storage.

Allow customisation of Proton Calendar display (font etc) and other things - my top 5!
I think it's new, I cannot find any customisation of fonts for calendar app on iOS...
Having used CalenGoo for Google calendar, and now migrating away from Google, I can only strongly suggest to look at the depth of customisation that CalenGoo offers over even the native Google Calendar app.
Highlights for me, not exhaustive:
- customisation of font size, bold/italics etc., style, colour: important to allow more to show in the week and particular month view (my preferred view)
- display time at the start of a scheduled meeting in month view, not just 5 or 6 letters
- a proper search function (with indexing on device prior to encryption)
- general display alterations/customisation (for example, why not allow display of "August 2025" at the top, not just "August", which could be any year...)
- an easy copy/paste function for regularly recurring events where only date/time changes, not the content of the event
This is only a list of my most liked highlights.

Add Advanced Sieve Extensions: Mailbox, Notifications, Body Filtering...
Proton Mail's Sieve implementation is missing several powerful RFC-standard extensions that would unlock advanced email automation.
Here are the key missing features: Mailbox Creation and Checking (RFC5490, RFC9042) - Automatically create folders and organize emails by sender domain without manual setup.
Notifications (RFC5435/RFC5436) - Send SMS or email notifications when specific emails arrive instead of just filing them.
Body Content Filtering (RFC5173) - Filter emails based on message body content, not just headers, for smarter spam detection.
Edit Headers (RFC5293) - Modify or add custom headers to emails as they arrive.
File Carbon Copy (RFC8580) - Keep automatic copies of filtered emails in specific folders for compliance or backup.
Calendar Processing (RFC9671) - Automatically handle calendar invitations and ICALENDAR attachments.

Simplify the scope of Calendar
Proton’s standard calendar covers 24 hours a day. I don’t work at night.
I am therefore looking for a way to adjust the layout of my calendars, by modifying the time schedule, for example from 07:00 to 20:00 (instead of 00:00 to 24:00).
This allows you to browse more efficiently in this time slot, while keeping the display of 1, 3 days or the week (so without using the agenda version).
Is there a setting that allows this?5 votes -
Simple navigation to a specific date.
At the moment you have to scroll through each month if you want to jump to a specific date in the past or future. This is very inconvenient. In many other calendars it is possible to first select the year, then the month and then the day.

Turn off "set as default" in email
I get a big "set as default" banner at the top of Proton mail any time I open it. I can dismiss it but it comes back with the next restart of the application.
I am not ready to make Proton my default yet and it would be nice to be able to dismiss this permanently, or even have it pop up once a month or something.
This is in Windows 10.

select Proton address as calendar organizer
Proton allows you to create new identities or addresses with the Proton suffix. The problem is the Calendar default organizer is your original proton account. You should be able to choose which address is the organizer.

Search field in labels for proton mail – mobile app
When adding label(s) on a message in the Proton Mail Mobile APP (in my case iOS) it is no search field available. With many labels you have to “scroll” thru an extensive list, and would be easier if you could “drag down” in the labels-list and a search field appeared.
