1. Native Thunderbird integration for Mail + Calendar (without Bridge)

   Description:

   Thunderbird is one of the most widely used desktop email clients in the open-source ecosystem. Presently, Proton Mail can only be accessed through the Bridge, and Proton Calendar cannot be used at all. This causes several limitations:

   • The Bridge must always be running in the background;
   • There is no native calendar support in Thunderbird;
   • Reliability and performance depend on a proxy layer instead of direct protocols;

   Meanwhile, Mozilla has just merged K-9 into Thunderbird as their official Android app and is developing Thundermail—a new service platform that will offer online mail, documents, spreadsheets, slides, and more. If Proton keeps relying solely on the Bridge, Thunderbird could evolve from a strong integration partner into a direct competitor.

   What is needed:

   • Native IMAP/SMTP support for Proton Mail in Thunderbird (using secure encrypted protocols);
   • Native CalDAV support for Proton Calendar;

   This would provide:

   • A first-class experience without running a separate Bridge process;
   • Proper calendar integration for daily use;
   • A strong position before Thundermail matures into a full office suite;
   • Something Google and Microsoft still do not offer: privacy-first desktop integration;

   Linux support matters:

   A large portion of privacy-focused users run Linux. Full support for major distributions, especially Arch Linux (where bleeding-edge versions of Thunderbird are common), would significantly improve adoption and reliability.

   Why this is important:

   Proton has the opportunity to become the only privacy-centric provider that integrates seamlessly with a mainstream open-source desktop client. Implementing native protocols now would prevent loss of ground later and make Proton the obvious choice for users who prefer desktop applications.

   Cheers!

2. Subject: "No Warranty" and "Not Responsible for Accuracy" — The Loophole That Voids Every Promise

   Hi Proton Team,

   There is a section in Proton's agreements that most users will never read, but it fundamentally undermines everything they were sold on:

   "No warranty." "Not responsible for accuracy."

   These clauses mean that every promise Proton makes — about protecting your data, about encryption, about open source, about features working — comes with a legal escape hatch. If something goes wrong, if a feature doesn't work, if accuracy fails, the company has already protected itself. The user has no recourse.

   The Playbook This isn't unique to Proton. It's standard corporate practice. But Proton isn't supposed to be standard. Here's how the pattern works:

   Make bold claims in marketing. "All apps open source." "Privacy for everyone." "Personalize your AI." These are the promises that convince people to sign up and pay.
   
   Neutralize those claims in the agreement. "No warranty." "Not responsible for accuracy." These are the legal erasers that make the promises unenforceable.
   
   When called out, reword — don't fix. The loophole stays. It just gets harder to find. Spread it across multiple documents. Use plain language that sounds friendly but still means the same thing. The words shift; the protection for the corporation does not.
   
   Call it "normal business." Because it is. Every company does this. But Proton is not every company — or at least, that's what the marketing says.
   

   Plain Language as a Weapon Here's what makes this especially insidious: the same "plain language" that is supposed to empower users is used to disarm them.

   On the marketing side, "open source" means freedom and transparency. On the legal side, it means whatever the corporation needs it to mean. On the marketing side, "personalization" means the AI adapts to you. On the legal side, "no warranty" means it doesn't have to.

   The words are the same. The meaning shifts depending on which side of the screen you're on.

   And when the company decides the meaning needs to shift again? They change the terms. On the fly. Without asking. Because the agreement already gave them that right.

   The Question for Proton If Proton truly believes it is different from Big Tech, then why does it use the exact same legal architecture as Big Tech?

   The same "no warranty" clauses.
   The same "not responsible for accuracy" disclaimers.
   The same right to change terms unilaterally.
   The same pattern of bold promises neutralized by fine print.
   

   Proton didn't invent this playbook. But Proton chose to use it. And while using it, Proton also chose to criticize Apple for doing the same thing.

   The Ask I'm not asking Proton to eliminate all legal protections. I understand why they exist. I'm asking Proton to acknowledge the contradiction:

   You cannot claim to be fundamentally different while using the exact same legal framework as the companies you criticize. Either the promises mean something — and are backed by more than marketing — or they don't. And if they don't, say that clearly. Upfront. On the homepage. Not buried in section 14 of a document no one reads.

   Trust isn't built by what you promise in bold text. It's built by what you're willing to stand behind when things go wrong.

   Right now, the agreements say Proton stands behind nothing. That should concern Proton more than it concerns its users.

4. Multi-platform Contacts Manager for PC and Android

   Contacts management happens on smartphones and most people use the google standard issue app. This raises huge privacy concerns. A Proton alternative could provide similar utility without the privacy issues of Google and could be made such that it syncs with a PC version.

7. See through all ideas

   There are lots of ideas here on the platform. Many have already been implemented. Perhaps we should go through all the users' ideas and mark those that have already been implemented as completed with a link to the documentation page. That would save a lot.

9. Automatically sync Proton Meet meetings with Proton Calendar

   Currently, I can set up a Proton Meet meeting in Proton Calendar, but it won't show up under "My meetings" in Proton Meet. Equally, if I set up a meeting in Proton Meet, it doesn't show in Proton Calendar. It would be great to have these two services talk to one another.

   Well done for launching Proton Meet. It seems instantly stable, and generally working well. Thank you!

12. Shared calendar with notifications

    It would be great if there were a shared calendar (e.g., "family") that notified all users of the calendar whenever somebody made a change, addition, or deletion. For example, if I added an appointment to the family calendar, all the other family members would be notified that I added something. Or if a family member changed an appointment, I would receive a notification that the appointment had been changed & by whom.

13. Make a announcement specifiying the ethics of how Proton will approach AI

    It's hard to tell the extent to which AI will play a role in the future technological landscape, so it's important that Proton establishes and makes clear their ethics for designing AI products.
    https://www.ted.com/talks/yoshua_bengio_the_catastrophic_risks_of_ai_and_a_safer_path
    He said he is currently working on a "Scientist AI" that would try to understand the world, not change it. This would allow people access to unbiased predictions that would work for the interests of humans, not for AI's interests and its self-preservation.

    I believe this TED talk may help Proton with developing their stance; maybe Proton could have a "scientist AI" approach as mentioned in that talk, and/or even collaborate with Mr. Bengio and his organization LawZero

15. Add Monospace Option to Accessibility Font Family Setting

    The Accessibility font family setting (Settings > Appearance > Accessibility) currently offers a small set of proportional fonts. Adding a monospace option would meaningfully improve phishing resistance for security-conscious users.

    Monospace fonts make homoglyph attacks visible at a glance:
    - rn vs m — clearly two characters in monospace, nearly identical in proportional
    - l vs 1 vs I — distinct glyphs instead of ambiguous strokes
    - Cyrillic а vs Latin a — spacing differences become obvious
    - paypa1.com vs paypal.com — the 1 stands out immediately

    Feature Request:
    Add a "Monospace" option to the existing font family dropdown in Accessibility settings. When selected, apply a monospace font stack to email content rendering (including the message body iframe).

    Benefits:
    - Anti-phishing: Users can visually catch spoofed domains and lookalike characters in sender addresses, URLs, and email bodies
    - Zero new UI surface: Slots into the existing Accessibility font picker — one new option in an existing dropdown
    - Aligns with Proton's identity: Proton already markets itself as the security-first email provider. This is a small feature that reinforces that positioning
    - Accessibility overlap: Monospace fonts also benefit users with dyslexia or visual processing differences, since every character occupies the same width

    Implementation suggestion:
    Add "Monospace" as a new entry in the Accessibility font family dropdown. Apply a standard fallback stack ("SF Mono", "Fira Code", "Source Code Pro", "Cascadia Code", "Consolas", "Liberation Mono", monospace) to the message content iframe when selected. The infrastructure for injecting styles into the content iframe already exists (Proton uses it for dark mode).

    The Accessibility font family setting (Settings > Appearance > Accessibility) currently offers a small set of proportional fonts. Adding a monospace option would meaningfully improve phishing resistance for security-conscious users.

    Monospace fonts make homoglyph attacks visible at a glance:

16. [Proton Meet] Dedicated Proton Meet Category on the UserVoice Platform

    It would be very helpful to have a dedicated category for Proton Meet on the service/feedback platform, even while it is still in closed beta.

    At the moment, Proton Meet feature requests have to be posted in the general category, which makes them harder to find, track, and discuss. A separate category would improve visibility, feedback quality, and organization for both users and the Proton team.

20. Releasing apps as .ipa files on github with attatched sources

    Releasing .ipa files for all the proton apps on github would allow people to sideload them if they wish to do so and also allows for older versions to be archived in a state where someone can go back and use them. Attatching the source url link would allow people to sideload Proton applications and update them through the sideloader.
