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.

Yes, please add this feature! I forward all my emails from various work-related accounts to my Proton email address, where I can use filters to sort them and can conveniently search through all of them at once.
However, it has been a huge inconvenience in the last couple of years that I had to set up third-party email clients on all my devices so that I could reply to these emails from the addresses they were sent to.
When you add this feature, it would also be useful to be able to auto-reply using external SMTP servers, so that when I set up an out-of-office message, I do not have to do that for all my accounts separately and I do not leak my Proton email address in the auto-reply.
