    We have given this quite a bit of thought, but at the present moment, it is not clear the advantages would outweigh the disadvantages.

    The biggest problem is search. Encrypting all metadata would break metadata search entirely on the web client as there is still no efficient way to handle search of encrypted data within a browser.

    Secondly, metadata encryption’s value from a privacy standpoint is also somewhat dubious. Because we ultimately must deliver the message to the recipient, we must know who the recipient is. At the current time, there still isn’t any proven and viable way to work around this.

    Metadata encryption is an area of continued research for us, and when the opportunity arises and the technology for doing this matures, we will definitely implement it in ProtonMail.

    I agree with most comments here. I would be more than happy to support ProtonMail for about $1 or $2 a month (as I am doing with Tutamail) but $5 is a bit steep.

    5GB plan
    5 alias
    Custom domain

    I guess $2 / month or $20 / year is very reasonable.

    I understand this is not a google company. But I am pretty sure that thousands of people would be more willing to upgrade if the prices were a bit more competitive. I would right now!
