real need for this app to round out the proton suite and get away from other apps that are/may comprise our conversations.

I'd love to dump the multiple chat clients. I could at least replace signal with this and hopefully Google Hangouts/Chat and nextcloud chat.

If you add an IM facility I will drop all my other email and messaging accounts and work entirely with Proton. I need a SECURE joined up email and messaging service!

ProtonMail could follow in mailbox.org's footsteps and integrate an XMPP server, thus making one's ProtonMail address also one's XMPP address.

Rather than becoming yet another centralized chat server that only works for ProtonMail users, Proton could join an already established decentralized and federated network, instantly allowing ProtonMail users to connect with mailbox.org, Snikket, Quicksy, Hot-Chilli, and numerous other XMPP users all across the world.

Or they could partner with Snikket's XMPP hosting, like Cheogram has done.

Signal was indirectly funded by the CIA. Do your research, friends.

ProtonMail is a great E-Mail Service, but it is missing one thing, ProtonChat! This would be a huge update that would bring many people to ProtonMail!

I'm looking for a secure multi-person audio-visual chat service like Wire. Happy for it to be limited to say 10 people at once. I'm not sure if this Chat feature request is intended for text-only or live audio-visual. I hope both.

Is it possible to make email group can have a encrypted chat room to talk to each other?

Unrelated? perhaps at the moment. but consider a future ideal situation where your PCal automated x via a secure (non u s) PM messenger

At the Moment we are using Signal or whatsapp .. but it is possible instead to have a chat feature built into protonmail or protonmail app? So all work communications are in one place and secure?

Absolutely, Would switch to this ProtonIM instantly. As it's turned out to be quite difficult to know which of the alternatives you can really trust or not.

Would actually prefer to see this as a separate product. A signal or telegraph alternative that is linked to our proton accounts and products

ProtonMail is a good app but do you have any idea how such an app was developed? No worries I have one article where each and every point explained about How to Create an Application? https://www.techavidus.com/blogs/how-to-create-an-application

The ability to start a secure group chat from within the email client. Include burn features and message TTL features.

Hi! This is a very interesting idea! But what about https://computools.com/software-development-life-cycle-sdlc/? Building such an application is not an easy task.

I want a messenger function with privacy
