STARTTLS support || [Proton Bridge]
-
Another +1.
-
ooh no, was just looking for a way to add my proton account.
aaand another +1 -
Same here, another +1
-
I would definitely use Vivaldi Mail if I could connect Proton Bridge to it.
-
Likewise. I was able to add all my mail accounts except for Proton.
-
Agree, I found this thread trying to plan ahead and its definitely saved me some headaches but comes as something of a disappointment. Looking forward to hearing more about timelines for the implementation
-
There is a feature request for STARTTLS IMAP/POP support which should fix the protonmail issue.

Upvote there the first post

Just returned to have a look. Still no change after 15 months! Not good.
-
Why so long?
StartTLS should be an available option with port 143 by now, this is over a year old.
-
STARTTLS is desired and required by many potential and actual Vivaldi users.
It would be a blessing. -

To get attention on this topic. -
I'm adding my upvote to this. Having just subscribed to a premium Proton account, I'd like to be able to add it to M3.

Hi, some user like the feature request don´t up vote the first post.
It make the implementation not faster but show the developer importance.
Cheers, mib

2 Things:
- In fairness, I feel like Proton should update the bridge to support SSL/TLS for IMAP, security is the whole thing after all, and its kind of odd to me that it supports switching to SSL but only for SMTP, why not both?
- I'm legitimately confused by that fact Vivaldi supports StarTLS, but also only for SMTP.
So we're actually in this bizzare scenario where Vivaldi can be switched to StarTLS like Proton wants, and Proton can be switched to SSL like Vivaldi wants but both do it only on SMTP, leaving IMAP in the cold.
-
Can we have some update for that?
-
No idea about the Vivaldi front but the alpha version of Proton Bridge v3 currently works with Vivaldi. They've remade their IMAP library and added the ability to select SSL.
I decided to risk using it, I don't recommend anyone else does, but looks like we'll have ProtonMail working in Vivaldi soon
-
Proton Bridge v3 (still under development, I don't think they've given a release date yet) has SSL support for IMAP, and I believe there's a fork called peroxide (https://github.com/ljanyst/peroxide) that currently works too.

@BernieV Sounds great. Am happy you got it to work. But needlessly complicated for me.
I was going to move a number of domain names I own for email to Vivaldi by resetting the pointers, but now, maybe I should just go to ProtonMail and skip Vivaldi, or if ProtonMail won't handle private domain names, do you know one who does? -
@BernieV Hey.... thanks Bernie. I will go check out Proton Mail. I presently have some private domains running on a very small ISP in northern california, (Sonic) and I must say they have the Best customer service in the world. But their email filtering setup is abysmal and just does not do what they say it suppose to do. Old story, eh?
So THANK YOU. I will go talk with Proton.
For posterity, I must say I love Vivaldi's Android browser implementation. Closest to a professional tool I've found on that platform. Onward to Proton. -
FYI: Protonmail bridge works with Vivaldi e-mail now.
In it's settings panel, you can choose protocol. Choose SSL for both (IMAP/SMTP). This is version 3.0.8.
