Filtering

The extension provides a single dropdown that combines:

  • Folder selection (Inbox, Sent, Drafts, etc.)
  • Status filters (All, Unread, Read, Has Attachment)

Select a folder first, then use the filter section to narrow down emails.

Pagination

The extension loads emails in pages based on your "Emails to Load" preference. Press ⌘L or select "Load More Emails" from the action menu to fetch older emails.

Attachments

When viewing an email with attachments:

  1. Select "Download Attachments" from the action menu
  2. Choose to download a single attachment or all attachments
  3. Single files are saved to ~/Downloads/
  4. Multiple files are saved to a timestamped folder: ~/Downloads/proton-attachments-YYYYMMDDTHHMMSS/

Quicklinks

Save your frequently used views as Raycast quicklinks:

  1. Navigate to a folder and apply a filter
  2. Press ⌘⇧S or select "Save Current View as Quicklink"
  3. The quicklink will open directly to that folder/filter combination

Demo Mode

For taking screenshots or showing the extension to others, enable Demo Mode (⇧⌘D) to anonymize all email data:

  • Names are replaced with sample names (Alice Johnson, Bob Smith, etc.)
  • Email addresses become example.com addresses
  • Subjects are replaced with generic titles
  • Email body content is replaced with placeholder text

Toggle it off with the same shortcut when done.
