Can you change it in the app itself? If not, thats a problem.
I've never logged into the web app, and probably never will. Having it behave differently is poor design.
Is it really a problem? The web app works fine on your phone and it’s a 1-time thing to change if you want to.
Even with it excluded it’s still very easy to see the spam emails, so it’s not like you’ll suddenly start missing emails.
For me I found it frustrating that the ‘All mail’ included spam. I don’t want to see the spam unless I’m specifically looking for a missed email. Yes, ‘all mail’ is now technically incorrect, but it’s correct in that it’s ’All mail [you actually want to see]’.
this is my point. the term 'all mail' was not subjective, is now subjective. the labels purpose has changed fundamentally. it should be changed to match this new paradigm.
and no, i personally never expected anything to be excluded from 'all' considering its historic use and freakin label.
The functionality as you describe still exists. So go ahead, change the setting back and make your All mailbox how you want it for yourself. It's a one-and-done in your settings. Just tap the link they have in the announcement, sign in and you'll be on the right page. That setting does reflect properly in the Android app, even if you aren't able to toggle it there at this time.
I know! The labeling is a huge problem because it's not really "all" mail, it's only the mail pertaining to my account. I mean, if it says "all" mail, it should necessarily include all email and even snail mail that has ever existed through human history. Do aliens have mail? We'll never know because it doesn't show up in "all mail". I've been writing Proton about this for years and they've been ignoring me.
