Use SimpleLogin aliases in Proton Calendar
I have been using SimpleLogin aliases with a custom domain and forwarding those emails to Proton Mail, which has been working fantastically. The only downside is that I cannot use these aliases for calendar events, which is a major usability issue. In order to actually use Proton Calendar I would need to expose my actual email address which defeats the purpose of using SimpleLogin in the first place. I would love to be able to have Proton Calendar integrate with SimpleLogin aliases.

* I added an explanation for this feature
Dear Proton Team,
As a user of Proton Mail and SimpleLogin services, I would like to provide a suggestion regarding a feature in Proton Calendar that could enhance flexibility and user convenience.
Currently, when I send an event invitation through Proton Calendar, the organizer section always uses my primary ProtonMail email account and cannot be changed. This limitation creates some challenges, especially for users who utilize SimpleLogin to manage multiple email aliases.
Issue Faced:
As a SimpleLogin user, I link my domain to this service and would like to send calendar invitations using an email alias that is more relevant to the context of the event being shared. However, this feature does not allow me to change the organizer or select an email alias from SimpleLogin.Feature Suggestion:
It would be extremely helpful if Proton Calendar allowed users to select a different email address linked to their ProtonMail account—including email addresses connected via SimpleLogin and Proton Pass—as the event organizer. This would enable me to choose the appropriate alias for the context of the event being created, rather than automatically using my primary email address.Benefits:
Increased Flexibility: Users can select the most relevant email address for the event or audience.
Better Management: For users with multiple email aliases, the ability to change the organizer will make managing their digital identities easier.
Enhanced Professionalism: Using a relevant email alias for the event will present a more professional image to event invitees.
I believe this feature will add significant value to Proton Calendar and enrich the user experience.Thank you for your attention and development of this feature.

"Your email address is not in the original participants list", therefore it's not added to my proton calendar. So I end up exporting the ics file and manually importing it again (in Google calendar since proton does not seem to have an import option for ics files).

I totally get where you're coming from. I use SimpleLogin to keep my real email private, but when I add people to calendar events, it uses my actual email, which isn't great for privacy. It would be awesome if Proton Calendar could work with SimpleLogin aliases!

I have the impression this is working by using reverse-alias:

The lack of this feature is really annoying. It is what is preventing me from ditching gmail 100%.

Alias user here, this is critical.

Critical to my business as I give out custom domain aliases for invites. A workaround is that I download the .ics file that is sent to me, and drag it in Proton Calendar. It imports it but loses update features. It's a hassle to do it for each invite, almost every day, simply because I don't expose my real email address.

This is critical. I have been a long time user of both SL and Proton services (before the merger), I use aliases for everything and so cannot use the Proton Calendar because it does not let me accept invitations sent to my SL aliases. This is the one thing preventing me from fulling migrating over to Proton

This is absolutely critical to me, and it's mind-bending that this functionality doesn't seem to be a priority.

If a person sends a calendar invite to me - via one of my SimpleLogin aliases - that invite is forwarded to me. When I open it in Proton Mail I do not have the option to accept or decline the meeting. Instead I get a message in the header section that says "Your email address is not in the participants list"
Please it's really important this feature for business related stuff!
I'm a paying user, I migrated from Gmail and I cannot do my job because of the lacking of this feature!Thanks
