Choosing for me how to sort my email and causing me to miss emails with its promos/updates/social inbox was one of my longstanding gripes with Gmail, like a solid decade before I became even a little privacy conscious. I absolutely do not want this "feature." I am very good at maintaining separation between who gets my primary email address and who gets the marketing one, along with monitoring that email and unsubscribing from things I don't want. Which means that the marketing emails aka "newsletters" that come through are actually ones I want and I want to see them in the folder I directed them to.
Edit to add: Because Proton does not, cannot, and should not read the content of our emails it is terrible at this. It seems to catch any email with the words hello, offer, newsletter (rarely used but okay fine), update, and welcome in either the sender name or subject line. It's catching every single email from my doctors, my job, my health insurance, concert ticket *purchases* from a smaller ticketing website and order confirmations from certain stores.This was a problem with Gmail's categories as well, in particular I routinely missed vital emails that were mischaracterized into "promotions" something I assumed I could skip. I also missed a critical email from Facebook when my account was compromised because it filtered into the "social" tab.
I want, no I NEED, the ability to turn this feature off. To top it all off, it doesn't even respect the user's categorization. I unselected a "your prescription is ready" email from my pharmacy and this message was in the pop-up: This will remove the newsletter entry from this list. It will not unsubscribe you from the newsletter. It will reappear if you receive new messages.
It is unacceptable to not respect the user's designation of "no this is not a newsletter."
And quite frankly, because I use aliases for everything I will not use a built in unsubscribe feature. If it's something I didn't sign up for the sender will get marked as spam. If it's a company I do want emails from but I want fewer/no marketing emails I will go into the "management my email preferences" options and adjust internally.
Please allow us to disable this view and all future views. Disabling should also disable whatever metadata tracking proton is doing as noted below I am also seeing long ago deleted emails in the newsletter view.

What's the point of allowing me to have 15 email addresses if any of them could be used to login to the entire account? I thought I had one truly private one for logging in, drive, pass, and calendars I will not share, another using my nickname for personal contacts and calendar invites, another using firstname.lastname for professional contacts and calendar invites and then one each for other primary accounts, banking, doctors, shopping, forums, and social media. Yeah its not quite as secure as having a hide-my-email alias for every individual account but there's enough of a buffer to only have to disable and create one new address and change a few accounts at a time.
Now I'm sitting here realizing that doesn't work. All 8 of these email addresses are out there in the world and I need to alter everything to hide-my-email addresses, then disable the proton ones because I don't even want the aliases to filter to them because they're known, so I need to create new email addresses for the aliases to forward to. I'm basically redoing everything I did a year ago when I migrated from gmail. And I'm going to have to get on the phone to change at least 25 of these accounts.My doctor's office is going to look at me like I've lost my mind.
And that still won't correct the problem that inviting people to a calendar event will reveal the email address associated with that calendar and thus a proton login option. It's not that I don't trust my personal and professional contacts, it's that people are stupid and give out your email because they're so used to only using one or two for the last 15-20 years. And the second one is usually a work/school one. I was fine with that risk when I thought those two email addresses, which are variations of my real name anyway, couldn't be used to login to my account.
