  2. Compose should display From name along with the e-mail address as well

    Currently, when multiple aliases are defined, the Compose panel/window only displays the e-mail address. Since the From name could be different for every alias, it would be better to display this as well.

    Same for replies and everything that's related.

  4. Ability to view original email for forwarded emails

    Don't know if in description wrote understandable

    There is one one thing with Protonmail- I need to make a certain screenshot for the court, but after I have resend that particular e-mail I can not open it as state institution it sent to me

    For a screenshot for a court I need that e-mail to view as I received it

  5. Pop-up from performing actions shouldn't block upcoming emails

    It is frustrating when deleting emails the "Conversation moved to Trash" bar covers further emails. Can that bar appear above and not block the
    upcoming emails. That would be smoother. Thanks

  6. Consistent PIN input methods

    Android. Currently, there are three different ways PIN numbers are handled in the apps:
    1) System PIN (E.161 input) - Drive, SimpleLogin
    2) User-defined PIN (E.161 input) - Pass
    3) User-defined PIN (Numeric keypad) - Mail

    I would prefer all apps to use the same input method. My preference is option 2) as I prefer to "spell" my PIN rather than remember a sequence of digits, and also allow different PINs for different apps.

  7. Unify email domains for interchangeability

    @protonmail.com and @proton.me should have a shared registration so that emails to both go to the same user, or emails to either are forwarded to the orginal selected domain.

    This also mitigates phishing, as currently a John@proton.me scammer can send phishing/social engieering attacks posing as legitimate John@protonmail.com

    Either combine them, or make them vastly different so as not to be confused

    Also allow claim of deleted/deactivated accounts if the name is shared between @protonmail.com and @proton.me

  9. Improve company overview on marketing website

    I read through https://proton.me/support/who-owns-protonmail and https://proton.me/about/team while trying to understand what the deal was, and if you were going to last for a while.

    Your presentation of the important things about the organization needs to improve.

    Currently you just look like a for profit alternative to mail.com that offers less inbox limit. A for-profit company that's in the stage where they buy the market share before hugely monetising users, floating stock, getting taken over by different management and so on.This happens all the time with game companies.


    Firstly the initial presentation needs to change. Take a cue from Wikipedia and…

  10. 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

  11. Switching Authenticators

    It would be nice to be able to change my Authenticator (TOPT) settings without having to first delete all of my 2FA keys. I simply want to switch from using Authy Authenticator to a different Authenticator app, but to do so I have to first turn off 2FA, which deletes all my 2FA keys. Most apps allow me to simply delete Authenticator app as a 2FA option, and then re-add it.

  12. Use ProtonDrive to circumvent email size limits

    Other people aren't interested in shrinking the size of attachments to accommodate protonmail's 25Mb size limit. Instead of refusing to send larger attachments to me, could you (protonmail) post them on my proton drive and then send a link?

  13. E-mail Conversations Borked

    E-mail threads, or conversations, aren't quite working across the board. For instance, when I used Fastmail, the system recognized correctly the e-mails coming from the same "source" and group them together.

    This is not happening correctly in Proton. For instance, some e-mails from LinkedIn are grouped when they arrive on different dates. A similar situation happens for GitHub: when the messages for a given pull request arrive, they aren't grouped together, as if they were from different topics.

  16. Turn Off Spam Altogether

    I'd like a filter to let everything through. I have two spam filters, yours and SpamSieve. I have several accounts. SS is fully trained already. I can use my filtering. Your system is whitelisting and blacklisting the very same duplicates of emails. So I need to turn it off.

  18. Print button more prominent | Print shortcut

    To store emails offline I use the Print function to save as a PDF. Unfortunately the Print function is tucked away behind the icons menu triple dot button above each mail. This is a rather cumbersome time consuming action to save emails at the moment. Is it possible to have either:
    - a permanent print button in the icons menu above each menu
    - make the icons menu above each email customizable so that the print button can be added by user's individual choice
    - make a shortcut to print an email
    - add a print button next to each…

  20. Don't alter email content or autosend to trash

    Um. Protonmail is now altering the content of my emails by, apparently, allowing only two consecutive spaces? Example, 6 spaces in a row gets reduced to 2. You had one job ... to not alter content ... geez.

    And Drafts are now being autosent to Trash? Huh?

    Gonna have to go back to gmail I guess. What is wrong with you people? 🤷‍♂️ 🤔
