Having source code available under a free and open source license is one of the most essential features for a privacy and security focused service. Please make Proton Calendar's mobile apps open source. I'm not using this service until open source mobile clients are available.

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.

Metadata encryption makes it safer to store mail and contacts on Proton servers, as all of the stored data would be protected if the account were the target of a search warrant. The competing service Tuta is able to encrypt all metadata for its mail and contacts while offering encrypted search in the browser, and I see no reason why Proton Mail can't do the same.

Fastmail's and iCloud's implementations are even better, since all of the disposable aliases are on the base fastmail.com or icloud.com domain, not some subdomain that is used exclusively for aliases. Proton Mail needs to do the same on the protonmail.com and proton.me domains in order for us to use disposable aliases on Proton Mail with the same level of confidence.
