Proton Mail Bridge
Proton Mail Bridge application
Proton Mail Bridge is a desktop application that runs in the background on Windows, macOS, and Linux to enable users to access their Proton Mail encrypted email accounts with traditional email clients like Outlook, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, and others via local IMAP/SMTP servers. Because standard IMAP cannot natively decrypt end-to-end encrypted messages, Bridge acts as a translator that downloads encrypted mail, decrypts it locally, and serves it to your preferred mail client over a local server, while encrypting outgoing messages before they’re sent to Proton’s servers. It provides a seamless integration layer for users who need offline support, familiar local client workflows, or tighter integration with desktop tools while preserving Proton’s zero-access encryption model. The Bridge app continues running even when its GUI is closed so that mail clients can remain connected and synchronized, and it supports automatic startup and robust credential handling via secure storage. -

It offers all the functionality of MH, the visual orientation and simplicity of use of a GUI, and full integration with Emacs, including thorough configuration and online help.

Consequently, we will retire this site once all of the tickets are resolved. Therefore, please help us out and submit new tickets with M-x report-emacs-bug. MH-E is now only supported in the version of GNU Emacs in which it appears. It is no longer supported in XEmacs. It is compatible with MH versions 6.8.4 and higher, all versions of nmh, and GNU mailutils 1.0 and higher.
