    I don't mind a more spartan interface, but Profiles and Split Tunnelling are definite omissions of functionality in the present Linux app.

    The Linux app needs Profiles (and both Windows *AND* Linux need their Profiles to support city in addition to country to achieve feature parity with Android).

    Then there's Split Tunnelling...

    A simple checklist of "Tasks" as an additional option for the right-most panel in Proton Mail would suffice.

    There simply needs to be a toggle switch in Settings "allow logging in with aliases".

    When disabled, only the main account username would be accepted as a username for logging in -- not any of the additional created e-mail addresses.

    Many users employ the same tactic as the OP in not revealing their permanent master username to anyone, and only e-mailing others using additional addresses.

    Everyone SHOULD have a strong password and 2FA turned on -- but it's even better if potential attackers don't even know your username on top of that!

  6. Only allow login with single/main address/username

    All Proton apps need to be open source.

    ALL of them.

  8. Maintain Import-Export Tool Until New Export Tool Matches its Features

    Agree! Proton's GUI Import/Export App was one of the most user-friendly and configurable programs out there for users of any service to download their own e-mail data for periodic backups, or anything else.

    The new CLI Proton Mail Export Tool is good for backing up and restoring an entire Proton account at once, but has none of the flexibility or user friendliness of the Import/Export App.

    Taking the old app down before improving the CLI at least to the point where the user can specify options like date range and specific alias (versus all of them) seems like a step backwards for users.

    Proton's logic seems to be that users who want configurable exports of particular e-mails can still get at them through Proton Mail Bridge and a client like Thunderbird.

  9. Backup & recovery of e-mails including folder structure and labels

    The new CLI export tool does export all e-mails to one folder as EML files. However, it also saves a JSON file of metadata for each message, which includes its folders and labels.

    I have not yet had to recover a Proton account from its backup, but I would certainly hope that the CLI tool correctly reads and applies all of that metadata when importing.

  10. More compact density

    There is far too much whitespace between FOLDERS AND LABELS in the "Compact" view!

    At present, the density of the list of folders and labels in "Compact" is exactly the same as it is in "Comfortable".

    This seems like a design oversight, and also means that far too few folders or labels can be created before it becomes necessary to vertically scroll the leftmost column.

    Switching to "Compact" should reduce the row height of folders and labels, not just e-mails. One can assume that if someone is switching to compact mode because he has many e-mails, then it is likely that he also has many folders and labels.

  11. Select city in addition to country

    Please implement this on DESKTOP!

    Present disparity across platforms:
    - ANDROID profiles now allow cities.
    - WINDOWS profiles only allow countries.
    - LINUX doesn't have profiles, just an "auto connect" setting for the ISO code of a country to automatically connect to.

    Users in very large countries like Canada and the USA should be able to connect to the fastest server in one particular region.
