Notify users of new features
I learn about the latest Proton releases in my news app as a tech article on some blog or web site. Why aren't users notified of new features or new products until 2-3 days after they're released?

Partially free accounts having the option to use the shortened email
Why shouldn't a partially free account use the shortened email? What I mean by that is that since you create an account, you have a pm.me email address just to receive emails. When someone subscribes to a product separately, like Proton Pass, on my occasion, it would have been better to have the option to use at least the shortened email to send messages. Next month I want to subscribe to the VPN so having to pay for 2 products, shouldn't I be eligible to use the shortened email. This is a suggestion, but people who understand better please let…

displaying emails on the smartphone application
Adapt the display of email content for reading on a smartphone.
It is clearly easier to read a "gmail" email than a "protonmail" one. On the latter you have to zoom in and scroll from left to right to read the content.

Add Spain to the free VPN plan
I think it'd be great if you guys could add Spain to the free VPN plan instead of Romania or Poland as a lot of people including myself consume a lot of Spanish content. This is just a request of course.

Bad Plex integration
Proton Pass isn't triggering properly for the Plex platform. Neither the user ID (email/username), nor password, nor TOTP 2FA codes autopopulate from my Proton Pass Plex login record.

Support Google Takeout for data imports (add to Easy Switch)
TL;DR: Easy Switch can auto-forward emails, then move your contacts and calendar. But what about:
Google Drive files, Google Photos, Google Password Manager, Google Finance, Gemini?
We should be able to move those data into Proton services Proton Drive, Proton Pass, Proton Wallet and Lumo quite easily with Google Takeout.
And what about autoforwarding from Outlook and Apple or sign in with Apple?
But we can’t.Dear Proton Community and Development Team,
We propose an enhancement to Proton’s “Easy Switch” technology to maximize user acquisition, engagement, and a more comprehensive way to move data to a more private service, while…

Provide public bug trackers for all projects.
You already provide a public feature request tracker, with UserVoice. For some repositories on GitHub, you leave issues enabled, which allows users to publicly report bugs (where they aren't restricted to function as discussions). Extend that capability to all repositories, so that users with diagnostic knowledge can report bugs that aren't necessarily able to submit PRs for (often due to outdated code).

Bad delete behavior in Proton Calendar
Like Google Calendar, Proton Calendar sometimes exhibits data corruption bugs. Immediately after deleting an event in the Proton Calendar iOS app, the event reappears.

Parallels
I use Windows running in Parallels on MAC and cannot install Proton apps for Windows in the Windows VM. As a consultant, I have several clients who use a variety of OS, so I use a MAC (OS Tahoe 26.0.1) and run Linux, Windows and MAC in Parallels VMs. In Windows is the OS where I am in need of Proton apps including VPN. However, cannot install either the Proton Mail app which gets a failure or the VPN app which will not even start an install process. Your help in adding this to your features would be greatly appreciated.

Add an APAC Edge (Australia / Singapore) for Faster, More Private Lumo/Proton Services
I’m a Proton Unlimited user living in Melbourne (and I have friends in Indonesia and Malaysia). The current latency when opening mail folders, loading Drive files (Linux client please), or starting a chat is around 150 ms because the nearest edge is in Europe. That extra “thinking” time hurts productivity, especially on mobile networks.
Opening an email from the Proton Mail servers in the Android app takes nearly 15 seconds.
A local edge in Australia (or Singapore, which is a stable, centrally‑located hub for the whole region) would bring round‑trip times down to < 30 ms for metadata look‑ups and reduce upload/download latency…

Improve Proton's Open source development
Proton has two great assets, the privacy respecting side and its Open source orientation.
However, some apps/services still aren't published openly (Calendar app for Android/iOS, amongst others).
So :
1. Make all apps and services open source
2. Activate issues on repositories
3. Invite community to actively participate in the development of the ecosystem
=> Proton apps become more reliable, with faster feature development and availability and it allows for greater transparency and sense of trust from the customers and community.69 votes -
Revert to old versions
Proton Mail right swipe to delete now takes a full screen swipe and the feel is super annoying. Bc PM converted the app to ai and it's hard to dial it in now.
PM email symbols for each email are now basically rainbow colored, how stupidly annoying.
Proton Pass notes now have a file add section that take half the screen.
Did someone new take command?
I have to look for a new set of services now.2 votes -
Calendar: Better Z axis layering of concurrent events
When several events start at the same time, then Proton Calendar has a nasty quirk: It narrows the event title columns to just 2-3 characters wide, making it hard to read the event names.
Please use Z axis layering. It's okay to stagger the events or use other collapsing techniques. Just don't narrow the title width so much.

Export folder structure for folders within folders
When I go to export mail to .MBOX files using the ProtonMail Import-Export app, it would be great to have the option to export the entire folder structure, which the chosen folder is located in.
For example, the following folder structure:
1. Root Folder
2. Sub Folder
3. Full Folder (.MBOX)
Here, the root, sub and full folder would be exported in the original order as seen in Proton Mail.I like to meticulously sort my mail into multiple folders depending on my need, and I like to keep backups of my mail.
If you could implement this, it would…3 votes -
Different font sizes and other appearance settings for each app
I need a different font size in Calendar and Mail since they are a completely different experience and use wildly different real estate on the screen for their elements.
Currently, changing the appearance settings is common to both, and it's making me sad ;)2 votes -
Change to plans available
Remove existing Free plan. Change Mail Plus to free plan. And create a plan in between. Not only will this complete further against Gmail and other providers, but also adds a plan between as currently do not offer anything below 500G
So new plans could then be 15G for the free plan, followed by 250G then back to current plans of 500 and up.
This is the main reason I have been hesitant in moving other the free plan does not cater for general needs and then small bump from 1GB from 15G followed by a large jump to 500G

Silent calendar notifications
Proton Calendar notifications are useless. No sounds. No haptics. It's way too easy to miss important events. Don't bother. Use Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, Outlook, ANYTHING but Proton Calendar.

Make it possible to acess the "My account" page from the account icon in the right upper corner
Please add the option to acess account settings also from the account button.
I think it would be more intuitive than the current way: to go into the settings option, then click all settings to manage the account. I spend a lot of time until I find the option all the times I need to change something in my account settings.
Thank you!

But please don't put any automatic correction or underlining that you couldnt turn off (underlining which I'm seeing as I write this on every word)6 votes
