Description

I would like to suggest a new feature that I believe would be beneficial for your users. Specifically, I am writing to suggest that ProtonMail should integrate email forwarding capabilities within the platform, rather than relying on a separate service like SimpleLogin.

While SimpleLogin is a great service that offers users the ability to create unlimited email aliases, there are several benefits to having this functionality integrated directly within ProtonMail. Firstly, by having email forwarding capabilities within the same platform, users would not need to rely on a separate service, making the process simpler and more streamlined.

Secondly, by having this functionality directly within ProtonMail, users would be able to manage all of their email communications from a single platform, rather than having to switch back and forth between different services. This would not only save time, but also make it easier to keep track of important emails and communications.

Overall, I believe that integrating email forwarding capabilities directly within ProtonMail would be a valuable feature for users and would help to improve the user experience. Thank you for your consideration of this feature request.
