Lovebomb My Proton Photos Finally Work!!!

48 Upvotes

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.

Discussion Email filters explained: These best practices will help you stay organized at work

Email filters help to keep your inbox organized

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.

Discussion Proton offers me a "25% discount" on Visionary but the price is the regular one

17 Upvotes

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.

Feature Request Please let Proton Know you want formatting in the Android App

14 Upvotes

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.

Feature Request Webmail add DEL to delete?

3 Upvotes

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?

Discussion Email by Categories stopped showing unread count in Brave today

2 Upvotes

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?

Web Help Struggling with the GUI what are my options?

2 Upvotes

Does anyone use PM with multiple accounts or for business?

I'm coming from an outlook background, and would really like to go fully proton, it's just it is not as good (imo) or I am missing something ...my main gripes...

  1. I have several emails [email protected], [email protected] but they all have to come into the same inbox?!? I know I can tag them, but I want a clear separation of work to home, is this possible??

  2. Web interface seems to be missing basic shortcuts like delete key?

  3. The new message GUI is terrible, I have to click the dots to see the message I am replying too?? It's either a tiny little window or a full screen popup? Having the reply in the reading pane (with option to pop out) is imo nicer as I can quick get to other emails for reference and back again.

  4. Same with the message reading pane. I cant see the message thread without clicking the three dots.

  5. calender integration only shows the current day? I have to open a separate tab/app for the month?

I'm hoping I'm being thick and missing obvious things and people can sort me out, so any guidance is appreciated.

I'll be the first to diss Microsoft, and i expect to have to learn/compromise with different software, but outlooks GUI should have been the very basics, it's used by millions everyday for business use so Proton should be able to match it closely if they expect people to migrate.

I cannot imagine using proton mail for business purposes at the moment.

Web Help New user: Can someone please help me get started?

Upvotes

Hello,

I have subscribed to the proton free plan and tried to use it in the following way without success today. What I wanted to achieve was to get my emails from my AOL and BBOX accounts in my Poroton inbox. So I imported my emails from those accounts via easy switch and the emails landed successfully in my Poroton inbox as you can see in the screenshot below:

But I am not getting the new mails from these accounts in my inbox! what should I exactly do to have every new message received on AOL, arrive in my Proton mailbox?

My second question is: If I reply to a message imported from aol in Proton is it possible that the "from" address remain my aol account, so the person who receives the email do not see that it was replied from proton?

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

Web Help Keep conversation in folder and out of Inbox

1 Upvotes

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*.*

Discussion Custom domain question.

1 Upvotes

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?
