  3. Ability to filter on Proton Mail by the email address it is sending to you

    Especially with the connection to Gmail, and especially with the already existing ability of up to 10+ alternative emails leading to the same inbox, we need the ability near the top of proton mail to "Filter by Address", with checkboxes for each of your email.

    For example, if I have 3 Proton Emails, and my Gmail Account (PersonalProton1@pm.me, BusinessProton2@pm.me, MiscProton3@pm.me, Gmail@gmail.com), but I only want to see the emails for my business email (BusinessProton2@pm.me), I need to simply have a checkbox to only include inbox messages coming to that specific address (BusinessProton2@pm.me…

  4. Publish basic governance data

    Proton is often seen as a nonprofit, but in reality it operates as a private company, Proton AG, with the Proton Foundation as a majority shareholder. This structure is designed to protect its mission, but many users are not fully aware of how it works or what guarantees it provides long term.

    Proton asks users to trust that its incentives will always stay aligned with privacy. While that may be true today, long term trust is harder to evaluate without some visibility into ownership and financial direction. For example, WhatsApp was once widely seen as privacy-focused, but shifts in ownership…

  5. Proton Android simulator on computer

    My phone screen just cracked and I don't know how long it will last. I'm going to put some tape on it, but I'd like, if possible, an Android simulator just to access bank accounts, WhatsApp, and all the Proton apps.

  7. How do I convert archived MSG emails into PDF for legal documentation?

    I have a folder of old Outlook MSG files from a completed client project. Some emails are part of legal communication and need to be saved in PDF format for long-term records. The files include sender details, dates, message body, and attachments. I do not want to open every MSG file one by one and print it manually. What is the safest way to convert MSG files into PDF while keeping the email details readable?

  8. Nudge users to change their master password periodically

    I think it would be helpful if Proton would periodically (perhaps quarterly? At least annually) nudge users to change their master passwords.
    Because the initial nudge might come when someone doesn't have time to update their password, perhaps the user could "snooze" the nudge.

  9. [Lumo] Custom bot feature

    I can't find the Proton Lumo below 'Give feedback' on the right column so I'm posting here.

    I'm using bots everyday and find the custom bot feature very important. Just some text config and a name for a custom bot should be nice.

    Sometimes the generic mood of the bot is not so prefered, a custom bot with fixed info to define a personal assistant in owner's style is good to have. The fitting style of language is better for conversation, like a pal, not a stranger.

    Some guys are with such custom bot and free: Gemini Gem, Instagram AI…

  10. Newsletters filter

    I activated the newsletters view, but a lot of newsletters still go in the inbox, and it is not possible to create a filter, for example: every mail from this adress, or every mail with [NEWS] in the object has to go in "Newsletter". Is it possible to add this option?

  11. Proton Docs: Basic Text Formatting

    I have started to trial Proton as a replacement for Google Workspace, and at each step I am underwhelmed with the lack of basic features. First up, basic text formatting in Proton Docs, which appears to use basic markup rather than rich formatting.

    I know you tend to reject improvements with more than one line item, but please hear me out: In this case the line items add up to basic functionality for a text editor, document editor, word processor, or anything with "Docs" in the name. Consider the request to be "Make Docs a document editor with rich text…

  12. Private Identity Management: Add Support for W3C Verifiable Credentials and ZKP

    Proton is already where I secure my emails, files, and passwords. As the world pushes toward more digital verification (often in invasive ways), I want a “Proton-native” way to verify my identity without handing over my sensitive data to Big Tech or state-surveillance-aligned systems.

    Privacy: Proton’s core value is encrypting data so even Proton can’t see it. SSI/ZKP is the natural evolution: let the system provide a “Zero-Knowledge Proof” to a third party (like “I am over 21” or “I am a verified resident”) without me ever having to share my actual ID, age, or address.

    Safety: It’s a huge…

  13. Unified Application

    Create a unified application platform to access all Proton features via a multi-OS application (Windows, macOS, Linux [Flatpak]).

    I'm thinking functions like:
    1) Workspace-like application with tabs down the left side for each application (Mail, Contacts, Pass, Drive, VPN, etc..)
    2) Option to toggle individual apps on/off if the user does not want to include specific ones.
    3) Option to pop-out individual apps
    4) Configurable timeout/lock for the app platform. Should include pin, password, biometrics, security keys
    5) Themes
    6) Application-based encryption to protect cached app data

    Take a look at Zoho's Trident application, there are some decent ideas/designs there.

  14. Better Ways to Organize and Share Useful Resources

    It would be helpful to have more options for organizing and sharing useful resources while using Proton Mail. For example, a dedicated area for saving frequently referenced links, guides, or resources could make it easier for users to access information they need regularly.

    Another useful improvement could be better support for organizing links within emails or creating personal collections of useful resources. This could be especially helpful for users who regularly exchange guides, tutorials, software information, or other reference material.

    For example, I sometimes keep useful gaming and software-related information in one place:

  15. fax

    I'd like my Proton services to include the ability to send AND receive faxes with compliant with HIPAA. Rather than developing this from scratch one easier way to provide this service might be to make some kind of agreement with the https://www.fax.plus/ service, which appears to be based in Switzerland.

  18. Proton Drive - Photos

    Photos in the mobile app are currently displayed only in portrait orientation. Many of us also sync photos taken with regular cameras, which creates a problem. There should be an option to dynamically display photos in both portrait and landscape orientations.

    Another useful feature would be the ability to add individual photos, just like in the desktop version. The “+” option is missing, which would allow me to upload just a single photo or a folder from an external storage device.

  20. Proton Bridge: local readonly MCP server OOTB (or at least a readonly user+password)

    For local AI usage - e.g. using local LLM, I am practically limited in how to give them readonly access to my email. The best I can do is use a local MCP like https://github.com/nikolausm/imap-mcp-server which has a parameter for readonly, but the readonly is really just a value in a file and an AI that locally does BS can mess around or run the MCP itself. And I am still in a situation to have to trust that bridge, my installation, the package source etc.

    a good first step for embracing local AI securely could be to have proton…
