  1. Allow family members to create new email addresses privately.

    Currently the Family Plan provides a total of 90 email addresses for all family members, but the admin users must create the addresses for each member. From a privacy standpoint this is very wrong.

    I recommend having an option for the admin users to allocate an amount of addresses from the total of 90 to each member. Each member should then create their own additional addresses, and the additional addresses should be only visible to each user. Family admins should not be able to see family member secondary addresses.

    I purchased the Family Plan for my family because I value…

  2. Improve company overview on marketing website

    I read through https://proton.me/support/who-owns-protonmail and https://proton.me/about/team while trying to understand what the deal was, and if you were going to last for a while.

    Your presentation of the important things about the organization needs to improve.

    Currently you just look like a for profit alternative to mail.com that offers less inbox limit. A for-profit company that's in the stage where they buy the market share before hugely monetising users, floating stock, getting taken over by different management and so on.This happens all the time with game companies.


    Firstly the initial presentation needs to change. Take a cue from Wikipedia and…

  3. Link to User Voice from mobile apps

    Sometimes I have a suggestion for UserVoice when I'm on my phone, but I cannot find a link to it from my Proton phone apps. It would also help if login to UserVoice was automatic if already logged into protonmail.

  5. FIDO NFC for MFA

    Hello. I recently was adding 2 FIDO keys to my account and I noticed that I needed to have the authenticator app checked on has well. An issue comes into play when I use proton pass as my totp.

    If I get logged out of my account on my phone (iPhone), I don't have an option to use NFC with the FIDO key as my MFA. Can this function be added?

  8. Keep Messages in Sent/Drafts by default

    This setting should be set by default because I have been using protonmail for years thinking that they never figured out how to use the sent box properly because it would never show the messages I sent and it was very frustrating. I finally found this in the settings and it does what I think a sent box should do by default

  10. Turn Off Spam Altogether

    I'd like a filter to let everything through. I have two spam filters, yours and SpamSieve. I have several accounts. SS is fully trained already. I can use my filtering. Your system is whitelisting and blacklisting the very same duplicates of emails. So I need to turn it off.

  11. Proton drive should remove "my computer" feature on PC and have a single default sync folder like MEGA.

    When I use mega, I can upload my document on my mobile phone and it immediately gets downloaded on my PC mega folder. Vise versa.

    Proton drive should do the same.

    The "My computer" folder sync feature on PC is completely useless. Your ios app don't even have the "my computer" folder. It means I cannot access information on my mobile when I upload documents on my PC. You should make a default cloud drive folder like MEGA. Let users drag their documents to that folder, auto sync, and it should be available on all platforms. More user friendly.

    Thank…

  13. Print button more prominent | Print shortcut

    To store emails offline I use the Print function to save as a PDF. Unfortunately the Print function is tucked away behind the icons menu triple dot button above each mail. This is a rather cumbersome time consuming action to save emails at the moment. Is it possible to have either:
    - a permanent print button in the icons menu above each menu
    - make the icons menu above each email customizable so that the print button can be added by user's individual choice
    - make a shortcut to print an email
    - add a print button next to each…

  14. Unify email domains for interchangeability

    @protonmail.com and @proton.me should have a shared registration so that emails to both go to the same user, or emails to either are forwarded to the orginal selected domain.

    This also mitigates phishing, as currently a John@proton.me scammer can send phishing/social engieering attacks posing as legitimate John@protonmail.com

    Either combine them, or make them vastly different so as not to be confused

    Also allow claim of deleted/deactivated accounts if the name is shared between @protonmail.com and @proton.me

  15. Don't alter email content or autosend to trash

    Um. Protonmail is now altering the content of my emails by, apparently, allowing only two consecutive spaces? Example, 6 spaces in a row gets reduced to 2. You had one job ... to not alter content ... geez.

    And Drafts are now being autosent to Trash? Huh?

    Gonna have to go back to gmail I guess. What is wrong with you people? 🤷‍♂️ 🤔

  17. Width of Sidebar

    Please make the width of the sidebar customizable for the web app. If you make extensive use of folders and labels, their names get truncated, which hurts usability.

  18. Extra password \ PIN requirement when editing anything in the "Recovery" and "Security and Privacy" tabs.

    I'm just in general paranoid about security after my previous gmail account was compromised.
    I feel like the recovery and security tabs are most vulnerable. If users could make a custom pin or password that is different from the standard email password or mailbox password. I would feel more comfortable, I wouldn't want someone to somehow gain access to my inbox then change the recovery or password \ phone number etc or delete \ remove the recovery keys.

    I also feel a bit at unease with the app, because the app does not give an option to change a password,…

  19. E-mail Conversations Borked

    E-mail threads, or conversations, aren't quite working across the board. For instance, when I used Fastmail, the system recognized correctly the e-mails coming from the same "source" and group them together.

    This is not happening correctly in Proton. For instance, some e-mails from LinkedIn are grouped when they arrive on different dates. A similar situation happens for GitHub: when the messages for a given pull request arrive, they aren't grouped together, as if they were from different topics.

  20. Compose should display From name along with the e-mail address as well

    Currently, when multiple aliases are defined, the Compose panel/window only displays the e-mail address. Since the From name could be different for every alias, it would be better to display this as well.

    Same for replies and everything that's related.
