There should be a button in the email client that opens attached files immediately without having to save file to disk with name.
Currently you click a file attachment and it might say "Preiew for this file type is not supported" and the email client displays a Download button. In other mail clients, there is usually an accompanying "Open" button, which saves the file to a temporary location on the harddrive and then opens it with the system's registered associated program.
On windows, they use the "open" utility, on linux it's xdg-open, etc, you can avoid having to save a file with a name to a location and then find that file to open it by just having a button that says "Open"…

Hide the unread count for spam
Currently, the Spam category shows a count of unread emails. This is kind of attention-grabbing when scanning the sidebar for what I should be paying attention to, so it would be nice to either not show it at all, or have an option not to show it.
The same goes for Trash emails, these things should be more “out of the way”.
This is especially annoying in the mobile app, because there is no way to hide the archive/spam/trash/all-mails like there is on web.
There are several requests and/or hacks for this on Reddit:

Transparency in Digital Services Builds Long-Term User Trust
ProtonMail has earned user trust by putting privacy and transparency first, and this approach could be extended even further through clearer explanations of how internal metrics and limits are calculated. When users manage subscriptions, storage usage, or plan upgrades, simple and transparent breakdowns help them make informed decisions without relying on guesswork.
Across the web, users are increasingly familiar with tools that clearly show how numbers are derived, similar to how platforms offering <a href="https://calcolostipendioneto.it/">simulazione busta paga mensile</a> explain structured calculations step by step. Applying the same clarity to ProtonMail’s account-related data would reinforce confidence while fully respecting privacy-first design…

You could run apps inside of a sandbox. Proton's zero knowledge architecture would mean that non of the info inside could be read by proton or anyone.

Archive button will show the next email message after use
Right now, when I click on the Archive button, the email message archives and then the preview window shows nothing. It would be more efficient if the next email message would show instead so I don't have to click on the next message each time.

Access to Proton Bridge cache offline ? (with full-text caching)
Could it be possible to make Proton Bridge cache accessible offline ?
The idea behind it is to be able to have a full cache of all mails text contents (or at least for the last x months).
It would be helpful as the current alternative is to do that client-side which will store it usually unencrypted (if i'm not mistaken) whereas Proton Bridge cache is still encrypted.
The use-case would be to ensure an always up to date, always encrypted, local "backup access" to the mail box content.
... but i probably ignore some security protocol constrains :)3 votes -
Add "invite others to Proton" to the dashboard or menu
Under the user profile is 'help and feedback' but why not offer a hotlink for "send invitation for Proton service" to friends and colleagues. Of course, I will copy/paste the homepage and email to my Japanese colleagues, but having the "invite now" button might be attractive to the Proton users who want to invite others to join. For your consideration.

Please update the Mac desktop app to allow multiple windows
I use ProtonMail's app on my Mac laptop everyday. However, I'm frustrated by the inability to see email and the calendar at the same time. I resort to logging in via a browser and accessing the calendar there instead. That's a pain, though. How about some way to look at both of these from the app at the same time?

Change "All Settings" to "All Settings / Dashboard"
Many directions say to "got to the Dashboard." However, there is no field / button to select that says "Dashboard." This can make things difficult for new users (like me).
Please change "All Settings" to "All Settings / Dashboard."

Sheet: Default Arrow Key navigation to "Edit Mode" (character-by-character)
Currently, when a cell is active and I use the arrow keys, the focus jumps to the neighboring cell.
I would prefer where using the Left/Right arrow keys moves the cursor between the characters within the active cell or formula bar instead of switching cells. Google Sheet does this as default.
Example Scenario:
- I have selected cell K10, which contains the text "Proton123".
- The cell is active/focused.
- When I press the Left Arrow key, I want the cursor to move between "3" and "2" inside the cell to allow for quick editing.
- Current behavior: It jumps to cell J10.
- Desired…

Filters and Automations improvements
I'd like to have extended functionalities for filters, relying more on automations that are triggered at regular custom timers or events, instead of only "as a new email is received".
I'd like to have these:
1) New Automation criteria:
• Emails that are older or newer than "X days/weeks/months";
• Email status as "read" or "unread";
• Email location (folder);
• Attachment size is lower or higher than X (to label them as "bulky").
• "Without answer" (to detect all emails we sent which didn't receive answers).
This would allow automations such as: if the email is older than 1…3 votes -
Separate PIN for Proton Authenticator for iOS
Currently, you can only log in to Proton Authenticator with your mobile phone PIN. To increase user security, I would welcome the option of choosing a separate PIN, as is the case with Proton Pass.

Easy to find, site-map
Dear Proton Team,
I hope this email finds you well. I'm a 63-year-old user trying to understand what's included in my current subscription plan, but I've found the account dashboard quite difficult to navigate.
After spending several minutes clicking through various links, I eventually found a "compare plans" option, but it only directed me to a list of apps at https://account.proton.me/apps.
I was particularly looking for information about the Documents feature in Proton Drive — I don't see it listed in the apps, and I'm wondering if it has been discontinued or removed from my plan. If it's not…

A privacy-first fundraiser needs a privacy-proof checkout (Proton Wallet / no KYC)
I want to support Proton via the 2025 Lifetime Fundraiser raffle, but the current “crypto” checkout can require BitPay KYC (name, address, ID). That’s fundamentally incompatible with a privacy-first fundraiser: it requires supporters to hand sensitive identity documents to a third-party processor just to buy a raffle ticket.
Please add a privacy-proof crypto checkout with a direct “Pay with Proton Wallet” option: generate a unique Bitcoin address/QR per order, confirm the on-chain payment, then issue the raffle ticket automatically.
