We are sorry to hear about your experiences.

1. Currently, the EasySwitch doesn't support import from Fastmail, which may be why you experienced the issue. We would be interested to hear more details about tose issues, so please report them to us here: https://proton.me/support/contact.

2. We are not sure if you are aware but now Proton includes SimpleLogin too, which allows you to create an unlimited number of aliases and also user reverse aliases: https://simplelogin.io/. Here's how you can set up a SimpleLogin account with an existing Proton Mail account: https://proton.me/support/create-simplelogin-account-proton-....

3. We'll pass this feedback along to the Proton Mail Bridge team.

4. We can confirm that the Proton Drive Windows app is coming quite soon. Please report the issues you experienced with the web app to us: https://proton.me/support/contact.

Regarding support, note that the usual response times are 24 hours, but longer during the weekends when we work with a reduced capacity. We've been constantly hiring and training our agents in order to improve this. Additionally, if you have a particular example of a misunderstanding with the support team, we'd like to look into it and investigate.

While we may not been actively moderating our Uservoice channel, we do use it to inform our development decisions. Many of the recently shipped additions to the Proton Mail web and iOS apps have been decided on thanks to the feedback on Uservoice.

We understand the frustration with how the catch-all works right now. The team is aware of it and looking into ways to improve it in the future.

I do not have proton so i am curious: - why do someone need a "windows" app if there is a web app, it could be a pwa that works everywhere (like teams, outlook) is it true it does not work on linux? if you have a web app it hould work everywhere - why do I have to give an email adress to create an account? - will you support passkeys? - can I add phone number or something that my proton account is backed up with my real identity? I mean if it is my pass manager account, I want to be able to provide my real identity in emergency and get everything back
Hi! 1. We are currently working on the Proton Pass web app. Some users prefer to have native desktop apps, which is why we're looking into developing those too. 2. Proton Pass allows you to generate email aliases (it's one of its core functions), therefore, it needs to be connected to an email account. You however don't need to use this function - you can create a separate Proton account just for Proton Pass, so your main email account wouldn't be connected to your Proton Pass account. 3. We plan to support Passkey in the future. 4. You can set up an account recovery method on your Proton account(s), of course: https://proton.me/support/set-account-recovery-methods.
thanks sounds cool
if you implement passkeys, who generates the key pair? browser, os, pass manager? if the pass manager stores and manages private keys, it should create the keys
