Proton Linux Distro or recommended list
This is likely so far outside of Proton's business sphere that it's an instant no-go, but... consider this a "Dear Santa," however unlikely:
Like a whole lot of people disgusted with Microsoft's Orwell 10 Terms of Use requirement that users acquiesce to coding that lays their entire computer open to the presumably angelic little MS employees in their cubicles up in Redmond, Wa, USA, I'm looking for an alternative OS so I can ditch the Microsoft Borg altogether. (Windows 7 is getting a little difficult to work with these days. 8^) And given that Apple is just as bad if…

Account switching (multiple accounts)
With Proton Mail App For PC It would be nice to have multi logins proton accounts in one proton mail app, Like on the Android Proton Mail App.
if we are paying more than one proton account, makes sense for multi-accounts logins.107 votes -
Create limited passwords to access certain parts of a Proton account
Summary:
Allow users to create a second, "limited" password for their Proton account, which would only provide access to limited data (e-mails and Proton Pass data) of their choosing.How it would work:
A user creates a limited password for their account and chooses which of their Proton e-mail addresses and Proton Pass data are accessible with it.
Upon logging in with the limited password, only those selected addresses (and associated messages and data) and Proton Pass passwords are visible and accessible.
Other e-mail addresses and Proton Pass data remain completely hidden and inaccessible.
Purpose:
Limited passwords would help users…3 votes -

Proton laptop
This is a dorky suggestion from someone very low in IT knowledge, but I am sick of working from a computer (MS) that has me logged in and tracked all the time. I'm just sick of creepy. Maybe because I lived in a time when things weren't this creepy.

Proton AI
Proton could develop a chatAI similar to the main ones on the market (even in the style of Brave's Leo), which would include text, images and, of course, other integrations with Proton's services.

Inactivity options, sign-out/lock
The new desktop client does not have "Keep me signed in" as an option because that is its default and it can't be altered.
This is not documented for the new desktop client which can lead to people wasting time trying to sort out what is happening.
What does this do:
If you don't sign out but simply close the app window next time the protonmail app starts you are not challenged for a password. This still occurs if you reboot the laptop/pc/virtual machine.The only time you have enter a password is when you reset the process by signing…

App specific One-Time Passwords
Add the ability to generate one-time passwords to log in to Proton apps (mail, pass, VPN), without the need of typing in the "master password" to log in to any of these apps on new/insecure devices. Generated one-time password (if app specific) can be shared with someone or used to log in to only the app it was generated for (e.g. ProtonVPN) to keep the main account password and the rest of your apps secure

Configure spellchecker language in desktop app
In a browser, Proton Mail benefits from the browser functions to spell check. In the new Proton Mail installed application, the language cannot be configured or I do not know how to do it...
It would be very useful to be able to configure the spell checker language for people that are writing in a language that is different than the OS language used.
Thank You

Hotkey / shortcut to switch between mail and calendar desktop app
Similar to https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/945460-general-ideas/suggestions/46942153-switch-between-applications-in-same-window but on DESKTOP instead of in browser.
Since desktop does not support tab views, I want a quick way to switch between Mail & Calendar.
Currently I have to inefficiently move hands from keyboard and:
1. switch from typing to mouse
2. select the app picker
3. select the appFor example, I would like to be able to press Ctrl + 1 for Mail, Ctrl + 2 for Calendar, etc
This is how Slack works when switching Workspaces, as an example.

Separate Mail & Calendar windows on desktop
On the Windows desktop, I'd like to be able to open Mail in one window and Calendar in another window, so I can toggle between them without losing anything I'm doing -- e.g., without having to minimize a new email or close an event. Each window would appear separately in the Taskbar (ideally with distinct icons, but identical icons would be better than nothing).
Currently, I'm faking this by installing both the current and beta versions, and using one for calendar & the other for email.

Crowdfund Linux parity
Run a crowdfunding campaign to put complete Linux parity on the Proton roadmap. This will allow customers and potential customers to demonstrate support more tangibly than with suggestions and votes.
It is clear from broad and specific suggestions here on UserVoice that there is customer demand for improved Linux support. I can only assume that you are lacking concrete evidence for the SIZE of the demand. This is the intended purpose of crowdfunding campaigns.
This is a specific, actionable suggestion to provide a solid business case for Linux support. It would also provide potential customers with confidence that Linux support…

Option to collapse sidebar
The left-hand menu sidebar occupies excessive space. Could we implement a new layout feature allowing users to collapse it? This feature would function similarly to Gmail's sidebar: when the mouse hovers over the area, it expands, and when the mouse moves away, it collapses. This would improve usability and maximize screen real estate.

Update without logging out
The recent ProtonMail for Android 4.0.4 update logged me out and I missed some important emails. I only realized the update had logged me out when I wondered "why haven't I received any email for the past few days?" and opened the app.
Please don't log users out when you update your apps. Or if that's unavoidable, at least send a notification to say something like "ProtonMail was just updated and we had to log you out. Please log back in so you don't miss any notifications"

Dedicated support ticket page
It would be great if we as users could login to the Zendesk page to have an overview of all our tickets. Many companies (e.g. Corsair, Withings) have implemented this already. That would make it easier to view the recent activity of a current ticket and reply to it instead of only through notifications per mail.
Also, when submitting a ticket via the ticket form (https://proton.me/support/contact) the written message and details are not contained in the notification email you get after you have sent it.
