Category View introduces a simple way to organize emails by type
It wouldn’t be possible for me to overstate how much I dislike this feature. It’s one thing I can’t stand about Gmail and from what I’ve observed, iCloud has this now too. I’m wondering if people actually find this more useful than a hindrance. I mean, I have spent days with several email addresses creating my own filters so I get not everyone can do that. But the way this is typically implemented just seems like another spam mailbox that no one’s going to check.
I assume they will but if Proton doesn’t have a way to disable this, I am out.
Manage newsletter subscriptions
What would actually be cool is a dedicated newsletter app. I use BigNews as an RSS reader and newsletter reader. They give me an email address just for newsletters. It’s fantastic.
I’m in a similar boat. I always disable this feature.
But I’m also pretty good at avoiding junk mail or unsubscribing from newsletters. So I guess I’m not the target user for such a feature.
Honestly, I really like it. I use it on iOS, and it seems to do a bang-up job of sorting emails based on what they’re about.
For example, I get statements for my credit card, but I also get the marketing emails for shit they want to sell me. The mail app has always correctly sorted those into the “promotions” folder. And it also does a good job with transaction emails, such as for Venmo or Steam. It even knows when an email is a dev blog for a game or software I follow, and correctly sorts that.
I give those folders a quick peek to make sure the AI didn’t mess up, then archive those without reading them.
I need more than the 25 mb limit for email attachments, my dudes!
That’s not really a Proton Mail limit - if the mail is too big, it’ll just be rejected by some other mailserver on its way, even if Proton allowed it through.
And Proton would get a lot of support cases from people asking why the mail they sent to a Gmail account was returned…
Use the drive space for bigger items
This is how Google solves it. Would be nice to have that integration between mail and drive.
It is automatic?
Oh my bad, I must have missed that. I used mail without drive for the longest time and only just recently started using drive.
Even if they open it up a lot of other places still limit 25 meg ingress.
That’s a job for Dropbox or a web server or WebDav or any one of a million other things designed to move large files.
25mb was a large file like 30 years ago. Now it’s like a couple PDFs with some pictures in it
Be that as it may, email is still a bad candidate for file transfer, and a lot of third parties have restrictive limits on file size.
When they going to give us support for sending with an external SMTP account?
I use the mail bridge so I can use Evolution to manage email. I’d love something similar for Calendar.
If I subscribe, can I have more than 25 mb limit? No.
