Split address mode - separate emails into different inboxes
Separate email addresses are for separate things so it would be helpful to just click an email address from the menu and see only those emails sent to that specific ProtonMail address.
Multiple inboxes.
We are reviewing this idea to get closer to a clean inbox for all our users. We will let you know once we have more updates

While ProtonMail Bridge allows to switch between combined addresses mode and split addresses mode, the iOS app only offers the combined addresses mode.
Since the multi-user features is now implemented, I would love to see split addresses mode in the iOS app. I have 10 addresses for one user and would like do split them amongst different devices.

There is already the same, but older request, see "There needs to be a separate inbox folder for each email address". Please vote there because there are more votes jet, so the request have more importance.

Disappointed in Visionary commented
Right now if you have one account with multiple addresses, you are forced to view it all in one inbox, with on screen indication of what email address is receiving any given email, until you open it. Please make it show which address is receiving an email, and more importantly, give users the option to view the inboxes of each address separately, like Gmail. Having inboxes for each address over on the left where the tags, inbox, etc are, with numbers showing how many unread messages there are would be ideal.

I was very surprised that this wasn’t a given. I mean, It’s logical as hell. It makes so much sense. I see the comments are from 2016. What’s the holdup? I don’t mean that as a rhetorical question. Really, I want to know why that simple and sensible function hasn’t occurred yet. I’ve asked it in the past, myself.

Thx, GOOD to know. WE upgraded but CAN NOT "MANAGE" any other email ONLY the 1 original. How do you add an alias? KEEPS saying WE need to UPGRADE again to "PRO" or VISIONARY !!! WE just got PLUS & VPN mo-to-mo for $12us ... however only 1 address NOT 5 like it says.

Totally agree. I don't see the point of separate user accounts if everything still gets dumped into a single inbox.

alias commented
The options listed on the plus account certainly implies this ability, but it seems the 5 email addresses you get are actually just aliases. Super lame, a bait and switch deal if you ask me.
And the aliases are no more that a stupid way to sort your email responses. Who needs that, maybe a parent who wants to control their kids email or something. I dont need that crap.
Just give real email addresses that are stated to come with a plus account.

The bridge works fine, but I use mobile about 20 times more frequently than my computer. I also don't want to use the bridge, due to the fact that it means downloading emails to my computer, making my computer the weak point in the security link, unless I jump through extensive hoops to encrypt my system drive as well. I'd rather work 100% in a secured environment.

I agree, I just upgraded through the black Friday special today and then I discovered this flaw, it's not a small flaw, this is huge! What's the point of having alias emails (for different purposes obviously), then they all wind up in in the same inbox!

The mobile app is where I use Proton the most, and it's impossible to filter by only one alias unless it's set as my default. This is probably the only thing that keeping it from being a gmail replacement for me.

This can be with the bridge, but I will like this for the web client and mobile apps.

I give out different alias email addresses for specific reasons, but they seem to all end up in same single inbox!
There's A LOT I love about Protonmail & ProtonVPN, however one of the main reasons I became I Paid user was to due to the alias addresses. But what is the point if they all end up in the same cluttered inbox?!?
PLEASE consider this simple convenience for your customers, or if it's just me I would greatly appreaciate help on how to seperate them.
Thamk you. Sincerely, Kelly -

I have multiple emails/domains and recently switched from G Suite to ProtoMail. I'm liking it for the most part - but the biggest annoyance (albeit I may be missing a setting?) is the lack of organizing features. I hate that my personal email I use for webmarketers is next to my official personal email with my name which is also next to my dating app email, etc. There should be a way to color code emails by address or choose an icon for each address. You could do many different things to solve this.

Why we don't have separated inboxes for every aliases we have ? At the moment, every mails for every alias are dumped in the same inbox.
I paid for ProtonMail to get rid of my 3 email provider AND Thunderbird. Now I still need Thunderbird to organize all my emails.
Awesome work for everything else, tho.

One of my main reasons to upgrade to a paid account is the possibility to have my own domain, and I expected that with 5 addresses I could assign one to each of our kids. Not getting a separate log-in and password per address under our domain is pretty disappointing. Please add this!

I would also like this feature. My husband and I both use the same protonmail account with several addresses- I want to see my email and our joint email address but not his. I can accomplish this in OS mail but not webmail.

100% - the main thing that is missing to protonmail for me. Just like bridge does, but in the mobile app and online

If the web interface and the mobile app has something like multi accounts in the bridge that would be awesome.

Multiple users still means under Professional that my wife would have a user on our custom domain as well as her separate ProtonMail Plus account. No thanks. Both accounts should be able to hook into the same domain.
