Using this userscript I made : git.kaki87.net/KaKi87/userscripts/protonmailWithoutAnnoyances

ProtonMail allows scheduling and snoozing messages for free at preset times, e.g. tomorrow, next Monday, this weekend, etc., and always at 8, but makes people pay to choose a customized date and time.

I had a hunch that this restriction might only be implemented client-side, so I tried modifying the value in DevTools for the first time, and I couldn’t believe it : that worked !

So, in order to automate this, I created a userscript that replaces the button press handler for the “custom” option, then lets you input whatever value you need, e.g. (next) Wednesday, (in) 30 minutes, (today at) 8 PM, Thursday at 7 (AM), etc.

Then, it lets the app believe that we’re gonna schedule using the tomorrow preset, until it intercepts the request and swaps the time value with the user’s choice.

Enjoy !

    This is a cool user script. I don’t want to take that away from you. Beckons me back to a more fun version of the internet. You’re providing a useful feature to people.

    However I do want to encourage anyone running user scripts on their email clients to be very careful. If your script auto updates you are opening yourself up to a delayed attack. And if you don’t understand every bit of the script you are opening yourself up to exploitation. Determine your threat model and capability and proceed appropriately.

    This is the privacy community after all.

      i had the same though when i read the title and it appealed to me because of it and also because i’m a proton user (for now).

      i’d like to think this is safer than the other scripts that existed(ed) out there in that you can see the source for yourself, so maybe the threat isn’t so extreme.
