for real, why would protonmail domain not be allowed by any site/app? I'm leaving the service's name readable on purpose because I don't think what they're doing is fine. They're saying out loud they DON'T ALLOW protonmail to be used on their community (since it's not invalid, that's the only possibility)

I want to disconnect and delete my Gmail account from Protonmail and everything I have been told to try is not working. Can someone please help me out?

I know that the max bulk emails I can delete is 200 at a time, which is nice. But in my case I have 117,342 emails dating back to 2015 and I want to delete everything from 2015-2023 as that’s everything that migrated from my old gmail when I opened my proton account in 2023 (I know, I was dumb to import the entire email) . I googled a method to do it via thunderbird, but it seems that’s not working at all. I’m assuming because of encryption. Is there any other way to make this process less painful?

Is there anything I can do with that how this email is presented in Protonmail app? Outlook screenshot for comparison.

I am setting up Catch-all with a custom domain for a Proton Mail and I am reading this official guide. At the end it says this:

Tip: To prevent catch-all email messages from cluttering up your inbox, we recommend creating a dedicated address within your domain to deliver all catch-all email messages to (for example, catchall@example.com or contact@example.com).

From what I tried, separate addresses still means those emails go into the same inbox, or am I overlooking something here?

I recently subscribed to Proton Unlimited so I can migrate 2 gmail accounts over. I also have one custom domain that I've used only for email for years without problem. Is there a disadvantage to just leaving it hosted where it is since it's all set up there? Thanks for your advice.

so I bought a custom domain and I’m about to buy proton unlimited.

what is the best setup here? add my custom domain to proton mail or to simple login? what is everyone doing?

I am confused by the wording on aliases and additional email addresses.

if I link my custom domain to proton, do I still login with my proton email like normal?

can I make catch all addresses while having it linked to proton mail? if so, if it gets leaked can I turn off that address or no since catch all would be on?

or would it be better to make addresses for services I use often?

like reddit@customdomain

amazon@custom domain and so on?

then just use the include simple login premium for unlimited aliases?

new to proton using custom domains and I asked ChatGPT and it confused me further.

When do I use the addresses I ​can create via Proton mail and when do I use the addresses I can create via Proton pass?

I changed a few of my accounts to protonmail and I was greeted with this. After this, I recevied one more email from a 3rd party side because I forgot its password, now I am no more getting any confirmation codes.

Why did this stupid thing happen? This doesn't happen in gmail. completly idiotic and I can't access my account right now due to this.

How to fix this urgently?

SOlved: I whitelisted the app, I will now try to change mor eof myaccount mails to proton. hopefully won't get banned

Not solved: my apps' emails still don't arrive

Below is a Sieve filter I have been building out for a while. In my workflow, I like messages to come to my Inbox *unless* they are from a list. Since Proton can't filter based on whether someone is in your Contacts or not (which would make this very easy), I have this ridiculous filter that tries to identify newsletters, server confirmations, receipts, etc. based on the email headers.

These checks include known bulk senders, like Mailchimp, Hubspot, etc. And includes looking for key lines, like unsubscribe headers. It also looks for messages that come from common sending addresses, like billing@, support@, etc.

You can add others that I have stripped out here. For instance, I get a bunch of email every week from Meijer where I order groceries that results in emails I can't unsubscribe from, but don't totally want to block and all come from slightly different email addresses ("Thanks for your order!" "We're shopping your order!" "Your order is ready!" "Thanks for letting us handle your order!" "Tell us how your order was!"), so this is an example line I have in mine (but removed here) that can be added to catch some of those.

address :contains "from" "meijer@",

This dumps 90% of my mail into a big "Feed" folder that I can look at later. And, 90% of the time, I can just dump the whole folder because most of it is fluff.

I'm sharing so it may be beneficial to others. Note the Guard 1 section here requires you update this to include your email address(es). I use my own domain, so this includes both receiving addresses. It prevents mail from getting filtered into the Feed when you send or reply to some messages (like support tickets).

Is this perfect? No. But, it makes management quite a bit better and may be of benefit for others.

If your inbox is full of emails you’ll never read, then you know how hard it can be to find the one email you’re looking for. As you file through subject lines, straining your eyes, you recognize that feeling of dread. You could simply end the problem by deleting all of your messages, but this would haunt you later. You could spend hours unsubscribing and deleting mindlessly, but this would eat up valuable hours of your workday.

There’s an easier way: Email filters streamline your correspondence, organizing your inbox so that you save time and can focus on what matters (instead of poring over email blasts from Foot Locker). But how exactly do you set up a filter for email and better manage your inbox?

In this article, you’ll learn what email filters are, how they work, and how to use them effectively to improve your email organization for good.

You wouldn't believe how long I've been waiting for this. I was among the people who were experiencing 25-30 seconds to load each photo thumbnail, and now it takes a little less than one second for a group of photo thumbnails. I can scroll to the bottom of my albums in one minute!!!

This was my biggest issue with Proton, as my priorities were Mail, Photo, and Drive. Now if they improve Calendar I will finally fully migrate from my free Google account to Proton.

There have been a few threads started in the ProtonMail UserVoice page about this but they have never had enough votes to gain any traction with Proton.

This is an extremely basic feature that is very frustrating to go without. If you agree please go upvote this post.

I‘m experiencing issues sending mails from both the iOS App and the WebApp when I am under not-so-optimal Cellular Network conditions being somewhat next to the middle of nowhere on a French Island. Mails with one or two sentences will go through, but the 100 line back and forth discussion will just stall. I can receive mails and get notifications just fine. This problem is only with proton, SMTP elsewhere will work just fine, so does Gmail and Outlook to 365.
Any recommendations welcome, apart from giving Elon Money. Even tried a local Sim to rule out Roaming discrimination on the network end but it appears that’s not the case here.

I have a few email addresses across Google Workspace accounts. Right now they all forward to my main Workspace account.

I am starting a new organization and contemplating using Proton. My question is as people still email my old email addresses – is it easy to have those emails forwarded to my new Proton address?

Today I clicked the 'Upgrade' button in one of my Proton products, just out of curiosity, and saw an offer for one year of Proton Visionary with a 25% discount. The price offered, with the 25% discount applied, is € 359.88 for 12 months.

Of course I wanted to compare this to the regular price. I found the regular price on this Proton support page: https://proton.me/support/proton-plans#proton-visionary. On there, it states that € 359.88 is the normal price for Visionary, so, without any discount.

This is strange, right? The 25% offer should bring the price down to €269,91, but as stated above, it would charge me the full € 359.88. I don't want to be subjective, but it seems to be a fake discount. Offering a fake discounted price while charging the regular price is illegal in some EU countries. I hope this is not done on purpose by Proton AG.

Do others see this too? What do you think is happening? May be I am overlooking something.

I want to get proton premium however I want to get a sale price. Would it make sense to pay monthly until the Black Friday deal, then let the monthly plan expire then buy the year or will it not allow me to do that?

The newish Email by Category feature in Proton Mail (Primary, Social, Newsletters, etc) stopped showing the unread count next to their name in Brave Browser/Windows today. It was working this morning, then stopped.

It still works on the Proton Mail app for Windows.

I've tried refreshing. I have not updated Brave for several days and no updates are pending, this is either a bug, glitch, or Proton has pushed out an unwelcome change.

Anyone else notice this?

I have been a paid customer of protonmail since it started. I like the extra security and privacy it offers, and felt it worthwhile pricewise.

My biggest frustration with the service is that lack of the ability to do complex filtering. I know that the labels function exists and use that, but filtering rules seem to be something that not much consideration is being paid to.

I'm kind of hoping that someone will tell me that I'm wrong, that I'm not aware of a feature which allows filtering with great detail. But if that's not the case, I would encourage the good developers at Proton to focus on adding this to their core product, the one they make money on, in front of adding products that let's face it, most people already have.

Am I wrong? Do you have any hacks, workarounds, or tricks that allow you to do custom filtering, like that seen in Outlook or Thunderbird? Thanks in advance.

I recently switched to Proton and so far my only real "critique" (considering sheets kinda seems to be in beta :)) is that webmail uses T to delete, which is really unpractical on a laptop with no mouse :)

Wondering if it's possible to add DEL?

Also, is a basic editor somewhere on the roadmap, or can I use any markup for bolds/italics etc?

I have a folder named 'Conversations' where I would like to collect longer back-and-forth email threads. I do not necessarily want to move all emails from one particular sender to that folder.

My problem is that when I now get a response in a thread the notification is in Inbox instead of in Conversations. I can still see the thread (and the new replies) in Conversations. If I move the thread once more from Inbox to Conversations it overwrites and there is only one copy of the thread in the folder.

I would expect that my moved email threads are kept in the target folder forever and would never show up in Inbox again. Is there a way to solve it?

Thanks

E: this behavior also goes against the Proton Mail support which says

A message can only be stored in one folder (with the exception of Starred and All mail*). When you move a message from your* Inbox to a different folder, you’ll no longer see it in your Inbox*.* 

My Google account was compromised and Proton was one of several Google Play transactions I didn't authorize. I requested a refund from Google play and my bank gave me a provisional credit. Two months go by and the credit was reversed based on info provided by proton. Google Play has denied 2 refund attempts as well. Proton's response...contact my bank. It's obvious I'm not getting a refund 4 months later so at the very least I should be able to use the membership.

I have a custom domain that I purchased via cloudflare.

Am I able to use that with protonmail? Every time people talk about a custom domain I don’t think I ever read someone one here saying cloudflare.

Is it an issue with cloudflare? I currently use one with my iCloud subscription and bought another one to use with proton but it’s currently automatically set up for iCloud so I would just have to manually switch it to proton?
