...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.
