    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.

    FOR THE LOVE OF MOTHER MARY; f i x t h e '+' c h a r a c t e r to s o m e t h i n g else!.

    So many sites and services, s o m a n y, refuse to accept it as a legitimate email address.

    And besides, as a commenter below has pointed out the current way its done exposes your underlying email address as soon as you have to reply or even send to that contact.

    A blacklist or cut-off of an alias should also be part of this feature.

    I need these features desperately. What's to be done? Should we start a gofundme or kickstarter campaign to get your attention? I'll start an offer of USD $500 for these alias requirements ONLY. Anyone else? I don't care about calendars, folders, shells or shiny trinketts. Just a useful and functional alias system.

    please, please, PLEASE.

    P.S. No, not interested in my own domain for various reasons. I need a one stop shop for email and at the moment you're it (but not delivering). Tutanota did for awhile, but they too didn't listen.

    (a paid-up user).
