I just stood upon a new settings panel and found only a support article.
Don’t think this was announced
anywhere was it?

Thanks for posting about this, since I didn’t see an announcement. This is a great addition.
It was announced on Reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/comments/1ezd3pb/introducing_groups_in_proton_mail_for_business/

interesting given reddit blocks traffic from protonVPN… i really wish proton would at least just use their own channels to communicate with their customers.

From first glance it does not really seem to function as a group.
You cannot send from it, nor see if anyone else has done anything with the mail. It’s rather a distribution list that requires people to opt in (accept invite). Which all in all does not seem to be that useful

I wonder if it was announced to business customers only. The feature appears to be targeted at them.
I wish, it gets to a lvl of google group (forum like?)
What is Mail Professional? Is it the new name of Proton Mail Plus?
Oh? Like from a particular regions? I’ve never had any issues browsing while on it. 
It just seems like a centrally managed bcc. I mean good that that is now here but i think it is far from being a group mail.
I caused this myself but please lets keep this thread on topic. It just happens a lot with various regions that reddir bloxks traffic from some vpn servers.

It’s the name of the mail+ plan for businesses.
Yeah, a group mailbox would’ve been more helpful than a group mailing list IMO.
Like if it showed up in the left sidebar under my regular Inbox, but had its own address and could be shared with multiple people on a team. That’s the functionality I’d need for something like a general contact@ address for my business.

Exactly. I think many businesses require that feature. Better imo would be a ticketing system. I mean imagine that had something like Zammad’s offering.
I like this - I often see families who have a single unified email rather than their own. Especially common for couples, but shared accounts have some implications to me. Not just privacy, but also the workflow of having to maintain an additional email account on top of your personal.
Ex:
the_smiths@emaildomain.net
This could work well for unified family communication. The family financial checking account could have the proton group as the email contact and still allow each family member to maintain their own distinct mail accounts.
Could also be valuable if a family member passes and their email is not accessible. Critical family communication is not interrupted provided the account stays funded. Which for proton, funding an account does not require access.
unfortunately this feature is only available on organisation plans atm.
Yes, in my example both Duo and Family plans would be relevant.
Visionary users have it as well
