  1. Delete (unlink) aliases from ProtonMail account

    To protect ProtonMail user privacy and anonymity, we need an option to permanently unlink (delete) aliases from ProtonMail accounts.

    Address counter can stay incremented, but the deleted identity (alias) should not be linked to the main account any more. Unlinked e-mail address should stay permanently disabled to prevent address recycling.

    A 7, 14 or 30 day deletion waiting time can be implemented to prevent spammers from abusing ProtonMail aliases.

  2. Recycle temporarily used/delete usernames

    Recycle usernames that were only used for a short period before being deleted.

    On a lot of websites common usernames are used up by people who sign up to try the service out and just delete the account.

    Please consider making these usernames available once again.

  3. Stop Advertising Upgrades to Paying Customers

    Stop advertising to paying customers to upgrade their Proton Pass. These UI elements are intrusive and disrupt users who have learned how to navigate the Proton Pass experience.

    The UPGRADE button is bigger than the button for me to create a new entry, why do I see this when I already have a subscription?

  4. There could be more cryptocurrency options

    Users can already pay by Bitcoin. However Bitcoin isn't the most private nor cheapest cryptocurrency to use. I suggest Proton paid plans could be paid with other cryptocurrencies such as Monero, Litecoin, Etherium and Bitcoin Cash.

  5. Pay per GB

    Pay for EXACTLY the storage that you used in a month, instead of having to bump plans with *** GB increments - and serious price increases.

    Proton uses limits to extract maximum consumer surplus and force new plans on people, when all they want is just more storage. This is just like commercial companies, and leaves a bad taste.

    The better approach is to align consumer value and producer cost : pay for what you use, with a standard cost-plus premium. It's not how you make the most money, agreed - but it is how you build a loyal user…

  6. Choose which identity to keep when downgrading

    Please add the feature to allow paid users to decide which identity they get to keep if they return to the free plan.

    I signed up with a protonmail.ch address but found myself mostly giving people my protonmail.com address. I want to go back to a free plan now but not being able to change my primary identity to the .com address is a problem.

  7. Add security questions

    You can add security questions on resetting password - after clicking link sent to recovery email, before you can enter new password, you should answer two (or three) security questions.

    This will be additional security for resetting password.

    At this point, security questions have been shown to not be an effective way to validate a users identity. At this time the recovery email address is our sole means of identifying users ownership of an account.

  8. Import private keys

    So we use multiple keys on one account. Eg. to continue using an old key from a previous email account with your new ProtonMail account.

  9. Unlimited accounts for catch-all email addresses

    I am a premium paying member of proton mail who uses a catch-all email domain.

    I use many prefixes such as:
    moving@address.com
    apartment@address.com
    work@address.com
    personal@address.com
    name@address.com
    etc.

    In order to send email from these addresses, I must have accounts for them. This is very annoying as I have to repeatedly create and delete these accounts in order to stay under the 15 account limit.

    On my own domain, I should have unlimited addresses.

    This would very helpful and would solve one of my biggest annoyances with proton.

  10. Appropriate fees should be determined specifically for countries with high inflation.

    In countries with high inflation, paying with Dollars or Euros costs too much compared to the currency of that country. For such countries, special low fees must be determined and payment must be made in the local currency.

  11. Change primary email

    The ability to swap the primary default used email under a user e.g in Joe he has joe@exp.com and moe@exp.com, Joe accidentally set his default email to what he had at the time moe@exp.com but now wants to use his new joe@exp.com, is it possible for Joe to change this

  12. Purchase multiple plans under 1 account

    I currently have a Proton Business plan with x users. However, not all users require all the features that come with Proton business, and I would like to purchase a Mail Essentials plan. I cannot do this for some reason.

    I would like the ability to purchase different tiers of plans under the same account.

  13. More free filters

    Add more free filters like at least 3 because free accounts only have 1 available filter and paid accounts have unlimited. I've also seen similar posts on here from 2016 of this issue and free accounts still only have 1 filter.

  14. SMS 2FA

    I understand this wouldn't be the choice for the most privacy-seeking users, but when one doesn't own a smartphone, the good old code sent through SMS for 2FA would be a great feature!

    Best regards,

  15. Monthly payments for yearly plans

    Spending close to €200 for a 2 year unlimited plan in one payment right now is difficult for many people, and I believe you would get much more uptake if you allowed purchase using a monthly installment method.

    I, for one, was about to buy your Proton Unlimited package until I discovered that I'd have to spend almost €200 in one go to get it.

    Offering a monthly payment subscription option is a sound business model in these times of financial strain, so please can I ask that you at least consider the idea?

    Thank you!

  20. Standard Notes monthly subscription

    I really want to try the Standard Notes subscription for 1 month to see if it fits with my day-to-day needs, however it does not offer a monthly subscription (and €90 is a bit expensive for a trial)
