Fix Standard Notes quirks
Standard Notes keeps accumulating more and more unaddressed quirks:
https://github.com/standardnotes/forum/issues
Please go ahead and resolve more of these expediently.
A separate Proton Notes app would be nice, but it's been a year and I don't want to hold my breath on a rewrite. Incremental enhancements to the existing Standard Notes system would be lovely.

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…

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

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!

search and replace in docs
for common typos.
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 -
Support HTTP/3 QUIC on Proton web servers
Actually Proton supports HTTP/2 but not yet HTTP/3. This technology improves mobile performance without reducing the security.
Do you have a plan to support HTTP/3 ? ThanksThe following websites measure the adoption on HTTP/3 technology

Secure Web-Based Email Platform
With rising cyber threats, users expect email tools that prioritize strong security while remaining easy to access across devices. A Secure Web-Based Email Platform should provide essentials like end-to-end encryption, MFA, zero-access architecture, and intelligent spam/phishing protection.
Cross-device accessibility is equally important, and Progressive Web App Development Services help email platforms deliver fast, app-like performance with offline support and secure browser-based functionality.
Modern platforms should also integrate smoothly with calendars, file-sharing tools, and identity management systems.
What are your must-have security features, and do you see PWAs becoming the standard for secure email access?

Stop it with the annoying new feature popups!
It's annoying to be pestered with a new feature popup every single time I login from every single device. I saw the popup the first time. I clicked to make it go away. I'd like it to stay away. Forever.
I have no interest whatsoever in creating a photo album. I refuse to make something I don't want or need. Why do you pester me at every login to make one?
You did the same thing with docs. I don't want or need an online document editor. But for weeks the annoying pester-the-user box kept popping up at every login.

Freeform + Standard Notes = Proton Notes
Proton acquired Standard Notes but has yet to integrate it into Proton's Office Suite both technically and subscription-wise. Also, Apple released the Freeform app a few years ago which is honestly the best hand-writing program ever released on a tablet.
If Proton is planning on upgrading and integrating Standard Notes into the Proton Drive suite, it should also include a handwriting feature similar to Apple's Freeform so people can handwrite their notes or draw on their tablets (within an encrypted space of course).
Also include a dark mode because Freeform doesn't have this yet and the bright light of the…

Newsletters Disable Option
Please allow subscribers to disable Proton's annoying "Newletters" function. There is no reason for Proton to categorize emails in this manner unless you guys are keeping track of the types of emails people get and selling that info to marketers. It's invasive and akin to snooping on your part. If I needed an annoying "email categorizing" function, I would use gmail.

Move away from Electron apps
Many apps that Proton uses are built with Electron, which are much less secure and much more bloated than native apps

I think it would be really cool if all of Proton's apps could be native ones.5 votes -
Online help documentation needs updated
Online Help Documentation needs to be updated. I have experienced incorrect online help documentation during numerous searches. My last experience was with Lumo. The search results were inaccurate when I needed to change email settings and add a new email address. I had to figure it out on my own.
If a feature of any Proton product gets changed in any way, the documentation needs to be updated and posted the same time of the product update patches get released. That is good business practice.

Display From address in summary list
In the folder view it only shows the display name on the email address, but this makes it harder to fully identify the source without the domain. For spam safety it helps you spot bogus domain names so you can reject it without looking. For regular emails it helps when someone's display name is just their name; I have to open the email to know if it's from a company I want to communicate with. For source verification it would be even better for it to be the envelop FROM address instead of the From header, but I know that's…

Customizable animated avatar for Lumo
Hey Lumo team,
I love the animated Lumo avatar, but it would be awesome to let users customize it. A few ideas:
- Theme picker – dark, neon, minimalist, etc . & Upload your own short GIF/PNG (with an optional “animation off” toggle for low‑bandwidth mode).
- Live preview before saving, so we can see how it looks in‑chat.
Having a personal avatar would make the experience feel more “me” and keep the vibe fresh. Thanks for considering!
