Remove dependance on google play services
Protonmail android app is dependent on google play services and that is obviously against privacy and security.
Users who removed/disable google play services or used vanilla "lineageos" without gapps cannot get the mail client work properly.
Google play services collect every possible piece of info about the user; location, body sensors, application usage, and every other possible thing. So telling the use to enable/install google services you compromise his privacy and security by 3rd party app which is clearly against the idea if Protomail.I hope you can correct this and have no dependence on google at all.

Linux supported equally
Linux is very popular among privacy concerned users, who make up a large chunk of Proton's userbase. However, Proton fails to provide any solid Linux apps and frequently leaves them unmaintained or released years after the initial product launch. Proton should make Linux a first-class platform, with proper support from day one.

English (British/Austalian/American) as a language option
Currently there is one 'English' as a language option, this is in reality American or American English. Some of the differences are not at al subtle. Virtually all other services have the two separated, as American is a fairly isolated language whereas English (or British English) covers the UK, Australia, New Zealand, large numbers in India and a majority in Europe (though American is also popular in Europe now).
It seems like minimal effort would be required to create a proper English as an additional language but would remove so much confusion with English speakers that don't understand many of…

Proton Family pricing options
I'm happy to see the newly released Proton Family plan! I've been waiting around for something like this for a while. However, I don't really need to support 6 users in my small family. Can we instead get pricing per member? The current pricing is about 3.33 USD per member per month, at 19.99 USD per month if you get the 2 year plan. How about flexible pricing: 2 members = 4.99 USD each, 3 members = 4.49 USD each, 4 members = 3.99 USD each, 5 members = 3.49 USD each, 6 members 3.33 USD each.

Self-Destruct Action on Filters
Flag incoming messages to self-destruct with a Filter.
I get a lot of transient notification emails (pickup order is ready, package shipped, etc) that I don't need to keep around forever. I currently go through every so often and clean these out, but it takes time and is kind of a pain.
Adding an action to Filters to set the self-destruct behavior would let me flag senders/subjects and automatically set those to expire after a period of time.

Customize security alerts.
I use PM both on my phone and laptop. Now every time I login on the laptop I get the same security alert on my phone that there was a "new login".
I would like there to be a way in which I either:
*) Make an exception for this laptop or IP address or something
*) or even turn off these alerts all together.The way it is now is very distracting. Any time I want to login to send an email I'm distracted by my phone.
Many thanks in advance. PM is great!14 votes -
Migrate to quantum resistant algorithms
Quantum computing breaking common cryptography algorithms is a future problem that will affect all data that is stolen/collected now and that contains sensitive information we may NEVER want to share

Publish all Android APK to FDroid
As well as the Proton VPN APK being published to FDroid it would be helpful if all the application (Mail, Calendar, Pass, etc) APKs were posted there as well.

Custom color for calendar, events and mail themes
I recently switched from Google to PM, but I have to admit that the graphic style of PM is a bit of a disappointment, with this bright purple and very limited palette. Some like it, others don't. I liked Google's a lot, tbh. It would be nice to have the possibility to customize the themes of the mail (send button, accent colors, and stuff like this) or at least pick custom colors for mail labels, events etc. so that each user can make the experience more appealing.

Proton is great but lacks integration with Android (and others)
Proton is intended for (extreme) privacy and I get it. This is very good and terrible at the same time : the vast majority of your apps provide no possibility to have a smooth integration with the ecosystem they live in :
- Calendar : impossible to have my events in the Android calendar with my other accounts. Calendars can't be shared so that people use a common calendar for common activities.
- Contacts : impossible to have my contacts in Android so I could use them with the dialer
- Drive : no sync client for Linux, Windows, MacOS…

Improved PWA icons
On desktop we can "install" the web app as a PWA (progressive web app). Currently the icons have a white background and are completely square. It doesn't look very good on MacOS. Could we get an updated version of the icons for those who install the app as a PWA? Probably the easiest solution would be to round the corners of the existing icons. It's a small effort for something that would make a big difference visually.

Implement AMOLED/OLED Dark Mode
Either modify the existing dark mode or create an additional theme to be truly dark; I.e. take advantage of the OLED ability to turn off individual pixels to achieve true black.
On many apps, this true black looks extraordinary and is honestly the “dark mode” that I think most people have in mind instead of dark grey or purple.

Dark email body content
Dark theme works great except that the message body content is set to have a white background of "#fff". An easy fix is the following:
1.) Apply a CSS filter. "filter: invert(1)" to the element with attribute data-testid="message-content:body"
2.) Apply another CSS filter to images so they are not inverted. CSS selector img.
I tried it and it works but it's not permanent since I'm only modifying the styles using the browser's dev tools.
Please add this to the dark theme CSS.

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…

Add toggle to hide Folders entirely
Not everyone uses Folders now, or wants to use them in the future. Many of us coming from Gmail think of all emails living in 1 big folder (save for a few exceptions like Sent), and then organizing everything via Labels. However there's no way to HIDE Folders from the side menu or turn off the feature, and it even gets a prominent space above Labels even if you don't have a single folder created.
Please create a toggle or other similar feature to ignore/hide Folders if users would prefer to just use labels

Move undo trash popup
if you click to delete items rapidly the undo trash popup covers up the trash button slowing down deletions. Move the pop up a little to the right and the problem would go away!! Thanks
