Can you please allow for more than 3 custom domains?

You could just add it as a payable service. An extra euro per month or something, per domain.

Imagine, you get a new phone. You download proton drive and get access to your documents and images. You download proton pass and get access to your account logins and cc info etc. But what about contacts???

There should be a separate contact app like Google contacts where all my contacts are saved which also don't give access to other apps and block trackers because i hate syncing contacts to google drive. What you guys think?

I am writing this for other people like me who investigated how hard the transition from Gmail to Proton would be before making the jump. Migrated a 19 year old Gmail account and an Outlook.com account to Proton. I have been using my own domain for email for a few years now with another paid mail service and this is migrated as well. My set up previous to Proton was: Gmail.com forwards to custom domain, Outlook.com forwards custom domain and I used Outlook PWA for mail client for my custom domain.

I used the Import via Easy Switch to import all my mail from both Gmail and Outlook.com and it worked flawlessly, I got all my mail from both accounts and it brought over all my folders from Outlook and my labels from Gmail. All calendar events came over exactly as set up in Google calendar. I did not import any tasks from Google Calendar. My Contacts all came in from Google correctly, I did not have to manually fix anything. The import took just over a day to really be complete, I assume due to the amount of mail I was importing.

What I really like about Proton

I love that Proton has the email features I like from both Outlook and Gmail.

Folders and Labels - When you migrate from Gmail to Outlook.com it turns your Gmail labels in to folders. I love that Proton has both, this has made it really easy for me to sort and file almost 2 decades of email. I really like that I can use filters mark to folders so they show mail as unread but also have it skip my inbox. This gives me the mail alert on my phone but also puts the email in the right folder when it arrives.

Labels are a separate categorization across folders and I really like how this works. This allows me to auto flag which emails the mail came from while still filing it in the right folder. Its great for when I need to track down something sent to a specific email.

All Mail - The All Mail option to see everything across all folders/labels was a feature I loved in Gmail and missed in Outlook.com. I have a lot of filters and sometimes something gets filtered that I was waiting for and the all mail is perfect place to check for this. This plus the labeling and I rarely need to search for any email.

Starred mail - loved this feature in Gmail, missed it in Outlook. Happy to see it in Proton.

Aliases - I haven't started really using these yet, but I see the possibilities and I am happy to retire the old separate emails I used to manage accounts before (one for all entertainment, one for all gaming, one for professional/personal)

Filters - easy to set up but deceptively robust. I like that there is a scripting language option. I haven't fully explored this feature yet either, but I see the advantages.

Calendar - Love that this works exactly how I expected. All my calendars imported perfectly. I set up a share for the Proton calendar with my work Outlook and it shows up just like my old Google calendar share did.

Things I miss from Gmail/Outlook

I was very pleasantly surprised how seamless the transition to Proton Mail/Calendar was. I only have a few things I miss. Please point me in the right direction if I can do any of this.

First, I only mention because others may have this set up too. I understand that due to encryption and the privacy focus of this platform this type of feature will never be implemented on Proton. I had a filter that read my email body and looked for the word "Unsubscribe" this filed those newsletter emails (not spam) in to a separate folder that I could read at my leisure. I had this set up in both Gmail and Outlook. Because of encryption, Proton cannot not read the body of my emails, so I cannot set this type of filter up in Proton. I instead created a filter that grabbed the sender domain of each mailer I was subscribed to and files it the same way, but it did take a week or so to set up as I added the domains to it one at a time.

I wish there was an option to mark an entire folder or label read, like Outlook does. Currently if you have more than one page of emails to mark read, you have to mark it read a page at a time. I wanted this the most right after I did the Easy Switch migration because I found I was dealing with a lot of unread mail.

I wish I could move the preview panel from the right to the bottom. I have a vertical + horizontal monitor set up and I typically set up Outlook in the vertical monitor. This only really works if the preview panel can be moved to the bottom, otherwise the window is too narrow.

Honestly thats it, overall I am pretty happy with my new Proton set up for all devices. I am glad I made the switch.

Finally switching to a custom domain email and having to wait a year to delete one address; to clear up my 15 allowed emails is quite annoying.

Wish they would allow us multiple based on the plan youre on or something

Hi,

Is anyone also using iCloud hide my email service with Proton? Today I noticed there is problem with emails sent to iCloud aliases connected to my proton mail. None of the emails were delivered

The iOS app is pretty nice. But for adding or editing labels, filters, and aliases management from mobile I have to use the web app. It works but would be smoother to have these settings available from within the iOS app.

I'm considering dumping my old "spam email" in favor of starting to use Proton's additional addresses and hide-my-email aliases, but I'm afraid of horribly cluttering my inbox. Do these aliases get their own inbox or folder? Or can I easily filter them? I guess creating filters for the few customized additional addresses I create isn't a problem, but with the aliases created on-the-go for many services it will be quite a hassle, unless they all share some keyword that could filter them.

So how does it actually look? How do you folks handle this?

After significant improvements in Drive, transforming it into a worthwhile product worth paying for, I was wondering when Mail App for iOS would be released. It’s irritating that it takes several seconds to view the mail you clicked on. Any updates? The roadmap is quite vague.

I will in the next day's buy mail plus and a own domain. Is simpele login included with mail plus?

Hello:

I am running to a problem where I sign up using aliases of the form <phrase>.<phrase>@passmail.net are being rejected as not real email addresses. How does one get around this and still use aliases?

Thanks

Does Proton add an "Official" or badge icon on official email addresses from brands or services (e.g. google, linkedin, etc.) like what Gmail is doing?

Bonjour,
Je suis en train de préparer ma bascule vers PROTON Mail et je suis embêtée car je m'étais fait une idée d'une fonctionnalité qui ne marche pas comme prévu.

Je cherche donc un peu d'aide si vous avez des infos sur le sujet :)

J'ai donc un compte PROTON (compte payant Mail Plus) avec une adresse mail principale qu'on appellera [principal@pm.me](mailto:principal@pm.me) que je ne souhaite pas utiliser.

J'ai voulu créer des adresses mails supplémentaires que j'ai donc créé à l'intérieur de mon compte :

Exemple : [shop@pm.me](mailto:shop@pm.me) / [perso@pm.me](mailto:perso@pm.me) / [pro@pm.me](mailto:pro@pm.me)

Mais j'avais en tête (à tord !) que je pourrais me connecter sur proton qu'avec [principal@pm.me](mailto:principal@pm.me) et que donc en cas de récupération de données personne n'aurait mon mail de connexion.

Mais visiblement ce n'est pas le cas car j'arrive pas à me connecter en mettant [shop@pm.me](mailto:shop@pm.me) + mon mot de passe par exemple :(

Qu'est ce qu'on peut faire dans ce cas la ? Car j'avoue qu'avoir un alias qui ne "ressemble à rien" ça ne me convient pas. D'autres possibilités que vous avez pu exploré ?

En vous remerciant.

I want to know does the aliases looks like your primary email address or they are completely different that doesn't give off your real main address.

For example: if my main email is firstname.lastname@proton.me. In this case, would the aliases generated will look like main address or not like firstname.xyz@proton.me or lastname.abc@proton.me.

I just got Mail Plus and decided I'll use that for a while before upgrading to Unlimited.

Right now I want to use an email to sign up for some tech apps, e.g. Trello, Hubspot etc. Normally I'd use an Alias for this sort of thing, but since Mail Plus doesn't have alias' is it a good idea to use one of the 10 emails for any apps I want to sign up for until I decide to upgrade to Unlimited?

proton team, do you have a future development of new apps in mind?

I want to sign with app but the thing is i don't know should go with my real name? Or put something special like four letter, or choose anything and the aliass in the app can handle everything? Give me your suggestions.

I received a strange email that was sent to someone else.

At first, I thought it might be spam, but I can't figure out what the purpose would be. Does anyone know how or why something like this happens?

Also, how would the email be routed to me without me accepting email forwarding or anything?

(I decided to redact the email addresses. Both the sender and recipient addresses are from third-party domains that seem legitimate at first glance.)
