I'm fine with the Proton Mail desktop client being an Electron app, but it still need to use desktop-based interactions. For example, when right clicking on the inbox, I expect to see options to mark all as read etc. - not an Inspect Element menu (that actually works and opens up devtools inside Proton Mail).
And to those that can't cope with 3981 unread emails - I've just imported from Gmail, and a lot of them appeared as unread, which is why I'm now looking for a way to mark all as read.

Is there a client for MacOS? I didn’t think there was.

There was a post here just a few days ago about Proton Mail for desktop in beta on Windows and macOS, and coming to Linux as well next year.

What does being an electron app mean and how is a weird right click menu an indicator of that?

Electron is chromium, so it's essentially just a browser window (hence the inspect element). It's quicker to develop, but much more resource intensive than a native app could be. It's generally frowned upon as a 'lazy' approach.

What if I don't already have chrome installed?

Electron is standalone Chromium under the hood, which is part of why it is considered to be resource-heavy: a separate browser engine for each application.

I'm assuming you've given this feedback to Proton?

Yes. Gradual rollout, now in beta.

That’s a different application; this is feedback on the upcoming Proton Mail desktop app.
