    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.

    6 years and counting. Tutanota already has this, and their search is working and their web client is faster than PM's. Not as nice looking though.

    This feature would allow me to move some but not all domain accounts to Protonmail by forwarding the moved ones to Protonmail and using this feature to send as that address. Other domain addresses could still be forwarded to Gmail etc. as they are today.
