Single message viewing option
I love having an encrypted email option, but the protonmail client layout is frustratingly nonintuitive. The fact that you can't look at just a single message and see the attachments with it makes it easy to overlook unexpected attachments and hard to find what you're looking for. Once there's a thread, finding what you're looking for can become a frustrating, time-consuming task where you're clicking back and forth between collapsed items and eventually losing your place and having to go back to the mailbox view and start again from the top. I'd like the ability to just open a message, see the attachments on it, and click on them. Coupled with the fact that the search doesn't work very well, the thread-only layout makes the process of using protonmail arduous and frustrating. I've tried different layout options, but that doesn't solve the problem. Am I missing something?

Agree with Aimee 100%. It takes me several times longer to sort things out than it should. I have to go back and forth between view unread and the list to make sure I actually see the things I need- and many have attachments that I am supposed to forward to specific people. I dread having to open Proton now. Love the encryption and privacy, but actually working with the cluttered non-intuitive interface has me rethinking how I use it. And whether it is the best choice for what I am doing.
