This was just released, no? https://proton.me/blog/new-mail-apps

Still fails to address a lot of normal offline functionality of a normal email app. Like, having an outbox folder where your outgoing emails sit until they're sent. So you know if something is pending (likely to happen if you are commuting and might lose reception for a bit). Nope, they're all "sent". Regardless whether they're actually sent or not.

Search is still useless as it's unable to search through email bodies. This functionality only works in a browser in a desktop. On a phone this falls flat on its face, regardless of being offline or online.

Offline cache is whatever they have determined to be useful, with no way to predict if your email is actually downloaded or is just the header, unless you tap on every each one of them. So, not useful while traveling or during periods you might need to be offline but still might need to access your stuff. There's no way to have your email moderately offline in a phone, even if your phone has 1TB storage.

EDIT: Regarding the calendar app, I have a couple of serious pet peeves:

-It's not really an Android calendar app. It's just an app that contains a calendar internally, but with no integration whatsoever. So if I use a watch syncing events via gadgetbridge...surprise, that's not really a calendar it can sync from. If I have rules for example setting do not disturb when certain events or meetings are about to happen...surprise, again, that's not a calendar you can use for reference. I can understand the security/privacy view of this, as Google can (and will) spy on these services. But I'm using a Google-less android (GrapheneOS), and so all of this would be moot. The option should be in the user.

-Second one was that if you tried to create or modify events and just happened to lose connectivity even briefly, it would just waste your whole effort, not creating the event, and throwing an error about failing to sync. Not like, waiting to sync and then creating it no...Actually DISCARDING the event you were trying to create or modify, telling you a pop-up error, and just wasting your time. I'm not sure this has been fixed, because this was so egregious I've stopped using them for a calendar app.

There is definitely a lot of work and improvement in this area needed. It's frustrating to see them pouring resources into other parts of the ecosystem that I don't use, but my hope is that brings in enough users to help increase functionality across the whole ecosystem over time.

Such as AI. Nobody asked them for goddamn AI.
