Bonjour,
il est possible d'intégrer ProtonMail, en cherchant sur le web, j'ai trouvé la solution.

Have been trying to get this thing running for a week now.
But thank you for this guide! I can confirm this method works in W11.
My SMTP port had been (automatically) set to 1026, but this works as well of course.

Un grand Merci @Lordmaxime pour le guide détaillé, très bien fait!

Nice to read

This is an excellent read and very helpful, but Vivaldi support of Proton Bridge really needs to be more seamless. Given the synergy between the two it seems worthwhile. In contrast, Thunderbird takes only moments to have up and running.
Hope Vivaldi dedicates some time to this integration (particularly since the Proton mail logo is so prominently displayed on the Vivaldi mail setup window).

I want to add a "little" caveat to the former posts.

Vivaldi does not integrate Protonmail well in it's mail application due to the strange sync behaviour.
I explain:

Protonmail uses protonbridge and creates a specific login on per machine basis
These login-data is used in Vivaldi IMAP setting (this is what this thread is all about). So on a laptop you will use other Protonmail login-data than on your desktop.
When deploying Vivaldi over 2 or more devices the strangeness of Vivaldi-sync comes in place and... some login data of the Porton mail is synced one way or another accross machines, to cause it to be broke on one of both.

... so it does not work.

Imho, It all comes down to the Vivaldi sync not being granular enough. And for me this is the my biggest complaint using Vivaldi, is that it takes too much time setting it up equally over different machines. Things don't get synced, that should be synced (tabs, panels,...), and vice versa... like this strange Protonmail thing where things get synced, that should not be synced.

Merci <- This is the extent of my french (copied from above). That said: Thank you very much for this post and all the hard work that went into it.

Though I no longer use any Microsoft products; having used Windows since Win 3.1: I'm fully Linux as of 4/2024, sadly, IMHO - they've completly lost their way; opting for the latest wiz bang / self indulgance; rather than focusing on quality.

However - Your contribution to the community is very much appreciated and to often - saying thank you is a missed opportunity to show gratitude for community contributions and this contribution was awesome.

Again: Merci.

@cef1000 De rien,
pour être honnête, j'utilise plusieurs systèmes d'exploitation et je ne voulais pas mettre mon compte proton dans Outlook.
J'utilise principalement la webmail, mais étant donné que Vivaldi permet de rajouter ses boîtes mails, j'ai voulu essayer.

Ayant eut des difficultés, et aimant aider les autres, je me suis dit qu'il fallait que je fasse un tutoriel détaillé, afin que d'autres n'aie pas de problèmes.

Il est vrai que Vivaldi et Proton sont proches, nous le voyons avec l'intégration de Proton VPN, de ce fait, c'est étrange que ce soit si complexe, pour intégrer Proton Mil dans Vivaldi, ou du moins, qu'il n'y ait pas de tutoriel, de l'un ou de l'autre, pour bien expliquer.

@Jrgn Désolé pour le retard de réponse, mais ravi d'avoir pu aider.
C'est pour cela que j'ai posté le tutoriel.
