From the team:

Hi everyone,

As a result of your valuable feedback, we've been working on making Proton Mail and Calendar easier to use on your desktop.

Today, we reached a significant milestone - the Proton Mail and Calendar desktop apps for Windows and macOS are now available in beta for all supporters on paid Proton plans. We're also working on the Linux app and will release it soon for testing.

Thanks to your initial feedback, we've added new features and bug fixes, including:

🗓 Easier access to Calendar via the app switcher on macOS
🚨 Notification badge for unread messages
🔤 Improved accessibility and font support
⏩ Easy Switch and Gmail sync can now be set up from within the app, allowing you to easily sync emails, contacts, and calendars from non-Proton accounts
💜 The option to set Proton Mail as your default email client on macOS

Let us know what you think; we look forward to your feedback!

Stay safe,

The Proton Team

Would be nice, right? Thanks for your feedback, I'll pass along!

Edited: thinking it further, it could be a different app, not all pass users use mail.

Yeah, I mean, whatever makes sense. I don't know if there's some overhead that would need to be duplicated making it easier to build off what they already have or if it makes more sense to break out each product. It's be cool for somone like me who uses all of their products, to only have one Proton app. Might as well bundle VPN into it too.

Ideally every service would be both a standalone app, as well as a service within an "ultimate suite" app, which is just a wrapper that contains all of the separate apps for ultimate users, plus a dashboard / service switcher.
