Hi, I love protonmail's vision and would love to move my business email to protonmail. However, given the amount of mail I've got, missing out on nested folders is a real deal-breaker for me. I hope this will be implemented soon so that can move away from G-mail.

I was expecting nested folders to exist in ProtonMail. I'm very disappointed.

Adding your vote to the most popular (most votes) copy of this request will have the greatest impact. Currently that is:

I see there is a lot of interest, with other users, in the non availability of nested sub folders.

I have used Protonmail for over a year, having migrated from gmail. I miss the use of subfolders very very much.

I really hope Protonmail can take this up in their updates.

Totally unacceptable that you don't provide nested folders. Listen to your customers and stop the ideological war... Make ProtonMail the greatest email tool !

I can't believe you don't have nested folders, it's ridiculous - you need this asap, otherwise I'll just leave and go elsewhere, despite the fact I bought a one year subscription.

Same sadness here. Please add this usefull feature.

I agree that nested folders is absolutely essential if PM is to be a viable email service. It is more or less useless to me without it.

Come on guys, get with the times!

I would like to be able to put a folder inside of a folder. This is not a new idea, but it's not getting done and a lot of people are asking

I agree. Every major email provider allows sub-folders. ProtonMail isn't a real viable alternative to gmail until this feature is implemented.

If you will still be resisting to add nested-folders feature I will quit using ProtonMail service at all. It is unbelievable that in these days such e-mail service like ProtonMail does not support nested-folders. Is it really that hard to add this functionality? Come on Guys, do it immediately otherwise you will be losing your clients. I am not going to pay for something that does not meet the basic requirements of users.

Even if you can use a "/" slash to work with subfolders (Thunderbird), it is not working.
1. Because you can not create a new subfolder/sublabel from Thunderbird
2. You can not move emails to a subfolder/sublabel from Thunderbird
3. You can not collapse.

I just pay 288 EUR for a year with the "visionnary" version.
In 2018, without this kind of options, this is just a shame.
And the Android App is buggy, slow, without automatic sync for the contact...
All this Protonmail smell like I loose 288EUR and like it is a 0.9 version... Normally companies keep a Beta free version until it goes really sharp. This is called credibility.

Hard to believe this functionality is not part of ProtonMail.

I can't think of a single major email app that doesn't have drag n drop sub folders.

Proton Mail is great for low volumes. But once you've accumulated a large body of emails, organizing based on a linear folder list (e.g. non-hierarchical, alpha sort) is a non-starter.

In addition, the left pane (folder list) should have a resizable width to accommodate long folder names.

This is beyond silly...gmail, outlook, startmail - everyone has this basic feature.

Nested folders seems like something that one would expect to exist. Odd that it doesn't - especially in 2018.

I would love nested folders, I have a lot of different categories accumulating and it doesn't make sense to have one long list of folders that is becoming a nightmare to search through

Really want this feature! Moving from Gmail this was a feature I used all the time. For example I'd have a Banking folder and then nested under that I'd have a folder for Bank 1, Bank 2, etc. Why do labels and folders act the same?

I upgraded to ProtonMail plus to have more than three folders and to be able to nest them.

I am sadly surprised ProtonMail, neither in the paid version, offers this basic features.

I do hope to see this update very soon!

Best regards.

Nested folders will provide a huge benefit and adds another use-case for ProtonMail. Many people I know (myself included) are looking for long-term encrypted storage for archived email accessible from multiple machines. Although the current search functionality seems capable, one cannot easily copy over archived nested folders from a non-ProtonMail mailbox into ProtonMail.

Nested folders are integral to the way some people organise their existing mailboxes and therefore vital to this use-case.
