Download Proton Mail Bridge

[Yasuko Bairos]

If Proton Mail uses PGP to encrypt emails then why wouldn't it be possible to just download the encrypted emails with regular IMAP or POP3 and let any third party mail client decrypt the emails with the PGP private key that we can already download (or provide our own)? All the decent email clients support this. Is there any reason why this wouldn't work?


Bridge updated to 3.0.12 and did not restart properly. I had to reboot and now when I login to bridge, it automatically logs me out a few seconds later with "myname mydomain was logged out because of an internal error".

Thanks for the insight. I switched to a user service and wrote a module for home-manager (see below). The keyring/password store can now be accessed without any problems and the service works as expected. I looked into it some more and it should be possible to provide a certificate yourself for the bridge. Knowing this, how could one trust the certificate without manually needing to add it to security.pki.certificates


While not related to this specific question, note that the instructions in the article linked about building the protonmail bridge are outdated. You can directly build-nogui when building protonmail with latest releases. And there is no need to do the additional steps of creating folders for pass and gpg and adding to path.


Same machine. There has been some discussion about how to make it work over a network, but it seems that for that you need the third-party hydroxide application: see _for_remote_bridges_on_the_same_network/


Nextcloudpi does not have a GUI itself (like gnome or KDE). You can not use the GUI from the bridge.

Never installed one and and I prefer to stay without a GUI and wait for the Protonmail Bridge GUI-free version from Protonmail


And then you will have a proton-bridge binary built without a GUI and that you can run either run interactively ( ./proton-bridge -c) or without interaction so it can run automatically in future (./proton-bridge --noninteractive).


vascocb and eganonoa

Thank you both -

eganonoa - Because I use RPi4 which is an ARM - I probably not able to have the Protonmail Bridge app.

Soon I may have my Nextcloud instance on a x86 at which time I will be able to install as you suggested.

Just one thing - how will i find the password from the Protonmail bridge without the gui?


I had the same issue with connecting protonmail bridge to Nextcloud and everytime I searched the issue online I would come across this post so I will post it here for anyone who wants to do the same (after you completely setup protonmail bridge with a password manager):


I keep getting this message when I open bridge. I click on the link and it leads me to general bridge info. Nothing specific about this manual update except suggesting you donwload the new version directly from Proton, if I did into the knowledge base. Well, I had alreadt done that, reinstalled from freshly downloaded file, and I still got the manual update message.






Hi

So Im trying to use my protonmail account on thunderbird and when i looked through the protonmail support page it directed me to download a PKGBUILD file I couldnt figure out how to use this file so i searched the forum and came across a post about something called autogit which seems to facillitate the use of such files. My question is how do I use this tool. Im going to post the file I downloaded if its of any use


i used pamac build protonmail-bridge and it seemed to work however the package maintainer name was slightly different but Im not sure if thats because the pkgbuild file was a more general description or whatever. However I havent come across any comments on the AUR claiming that its malicious in nature and I emailed protonmail support asking about whether or not this was the authorized package. Should I just reinstall manjaro?


These policies allow communications between the relevant qubes: specifically, the mail-receive qube will be able to fetch email automatically, while the mail-send qube will require an extra user prompt. This set up may or may not be desirable for you, so feel free to experiment.


I done everything with the up-to-date versions. One thing I did different was using the debian-11 non minimal template, and I have them all with protonmail infront(protonmail-send, protonmail-receive, protonmail-bridge) so it would be a lot easier to remember they are related and I renamed everything in the config files to match.


Proton is now hosting the bridge download under their new url, which causes an error when downloading via proxy. For step 5 of 1. Mail template above, with the latest update one should now use the following (edit for current version, 3.0.21-1 as of this post):


The fork option to TCP-LISTEN makes it so that socat will run the EXEC every time a new connection is made on that port. The EXEC gets data from the bridge qubes through the qrexec framework instead of using TCP directly (though of course, thunderbird and the bridge are still using tcp, but this communication stays internal to their respective qubes).


The Proton Mail Bridge is an application for paid users that runs on your computer in the background and seamlessly encrypts and decrypts your mail as it enters and leaves your computer. It allows for full integration of your Proton Mail account with any program that supports IMAP and SMTP such as Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird and Apple Mail.


I used all these settings as indicated in the bridge, even changed the bridge SMTP to SSL because it is normally STARTTLS so if you choose SSL in the email account setup in the mail program, you have to change it in the bridge as well. But it still does not connect to the protonmail account. Any thoughts?


using Catalina, new proton mail accounts working until I experienced a power failure today. iPad proton mail has no issues, just the Mac version (I have integrated it into Mail using their app Bridge allowing me to use it there rather than go to their web-based site.) I've checked my server settings but still can't get past log-in. Did loss of power on iMac change any setting to kick my proton mail account offline?


Yes, it has worked since first installed a week ago......Update: I uninstalled Protonmail Bridge, re-booted Mac, re-installed PM Bridge, went through the configuration settings, Voila!..back up and running. I should have known better, when in doubt, go back to the beginning and start anew. Thanks to BDAqua.


I think by "git clone URL" they meant the PKGBUILD repo that you (or your AUR helper) clone to build the package. The answer is yes, they both have the same clone URL ( -bridge.git) because they share the same pkgbase.


For a split package (see _SPLITTING) there is no option to build just one of the packages, you always have to build all packages defined the PKGBUILD and as such you need the makedepends for all packages. So sentry-native is not a dependency to protonmail-bridge-core but you need it when building the package.


Question. protonmail-bridge-core and protonmail-bridge have the same Git Clone URL, is that correct? Also, is sentry-native (aur) needed for protonmail-bridge-core? In a previous message it was written that the dependencies would be only glib2 glibc libsecret. I'm confused.

" ProtonMail Bridge is an application available to all paid users that enables the integration of your ProtonMail account with popular email clients, such as Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird"


No problem using the web interface.

I have configured Thunderbird with Gmail in such a way that it checks for new messages

every 5 mins and when it receives a new message it plays a WAV file aka sound notification.

This setup is very useful to me so I was trying to do the same thing with Protonmail.


In a nutshell, ProtonMail Bridge creates fake IMAP/SMTP servers on thelocal machine. And users use these fake local servers for theIMAP/SMTP settings in their offline email clients. When offlineclients try to do communications with email servers, they are in factcommunicating with the fake local servers. And next, the local serversdo the encryption/decryption tasks and then talk to the realProtonMail servers.


So, I just came back to Solus after an extended distrohopping adventure, and I saw that protonmail-bridge is in the repository. I installed it, but it legit just won't launch, and I've tried a lot of troubleshooting stuff. Any help? I would've filed a bug, but I don't really know how and I don't wanna do anything dumb in the bug tracker...


I am aware that this is the localhost, as such the certificate that we provide is self-signed. In any other email client, in Thunderbird for instance, it is a matter of confirming a security exception for port 1143 on 127.0.0.1. as detailed in step 5 here. What I quite did not figure out is how to do that in mbsync. Here is my .msyncrc:


Copy the very first block that begins with -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- and ends with -----END CERTIFICATE-----, paste this into a file and save it with a .pem extension. Let's say you name it protonbridge.pem subsequently saving it in /etc/ssl/certs/, you would need to add this to your /mbsyncrc file:


This should be it, you should now be able to sync. I did not seem to have to copy the root issuer certificate as explained at the end of the step #1 in the link. If you do mbsync -l channel-name you will see a list of all mailboxes to sync. You may want to add Patterns INBOX Sent if you do not want all and every folder in you Protonmail account to sync, including one called "All Mail"!
