STARTTLS support || [Proton Bridge]

@palbjartan Nice. Just a note: step #2 might be not valid for windows.
But I think the same cert can be add to Window Certificate Manager. -

But I think the same cert can be add to Window Certificate Manager.Thanks for the info. I got the instructions for adding certificates from the Vivaldi for Linux forum, as @BernieV 's way of adding certificates is unviable (at least on Linux). I'm somewhat surprised it wouldn't work for Windows users as well, since it's a Vivaldi internal setting and not system wide, but since I don't have Windows I am unable to test it.
Can anyone confirm whether step 2 will work in Windows or not?
-
Step 2 does not work on Windows but importing the cert.pem in Windows Certificate Manager works.
- In Windows Start menu, search and open Certificate Manager
- Expand Trusted Root Certification Authorities > Certificates
- Right-click on Certificates folder & select All tasks > Import
- Import cert.pem

Same problem here. My university's IMAP server connects on 143 with StartTLS. Cannot set that up in Vivaldi. It's greyed out. Unfortunately there is no alternative like SSL. Will resort to Apple Mail for now but would love to have it in Vivaldi.

@rjc3rd Maybe Vivaldi don't have 10,000 programmers working around the clock to attend to every wish and winge. Let's all lighten up a bit here. Don't like Vivaldi email at present? There are 20 other email clients (FREE) you can choose from.
Just sayin'.

I would like to report that I was able to get Proton Mail running without issue and without much work on Linux. The solution required splicing together different solutions made throughout this thread.
These are the steps I took to get Proton Mail working for me.
Browser OS: Vivaldi 6.1.3035.204 (Stable channel) stable (64-bit)
Distro: Debian 12 (Gnome)From palbjartan
- In Proton Mail Bridge (v 3.1.1) go to "Settings">"Advanced Settings".
- Go to "Connection Mode" and click "Change". Change IMAP connection mode to "SSL".
- Go to "Export TLS certificates" and click "Export" and save the files at your location of choice.
If the above does not work try this:
- In Thunderbird, go to:
- Settings > Privacy & Security > Certificates > Manage Certificates
- Click on Authorities, Scroll down to: Proton AG
- Certificate Name = 127.0.0.1
- Security Device = Software Security Device
- "View" certificate. Scroll down to "Miscellaneous"
- Export certificate by clicking on PEM(cert):
Download PEM(cert) PEM(chain)
- Export certificate by clicking on PEM(cert):
- Click on Authorities, Scroll down to: Proton AG
- In Vivaldi, open a new tab and enter:
chrome://settings/certificates
- The "Manage Certificates" page should open.
- NOTE:
chrome://settings/certificates
forwards tovivaldi://settings/certificates
. - BUT:
vivaldi://settings/certificates
brings up "Settings" without access to certificate management.
- NOTE:
- Under the "Authorities" tab click "Import"
- Select exported certificate:
127-0-0-1.pem
(Thunderbird)
- Select exported certificate:
- A prompt for "Certificate authority" should pop up.
- Tick all boxes under "Trust settings".
- The "Manage Certificates" page should open.
- Restart Vivaldi and Proton Mail Bridge.

@Truongdukedong I understand the sentiment but when you build a product or service and parts of it fail to work as intended the correct response should be to fix whatever is broken and not suggest unofficial alternatives whenever possible.
Vivaldi doesn't have 10,000 programmers but the nature of open-source development lends itself to people with programming skills or technical knowledge filling the role of those programmers and providing solutions, similar to the message I made on this topic.
If people are upset that a product doesn't work right, then that product is (probably) a good one and people have high expectations for how it should work.
It is highly unlikely that Microsoft ever told people to go use Google products because of a flaw in a Microsoft product. Don't you agree?

Vivaldi Mail and Proton Bridge
[Note] Since Vivaldi does not support STARTTLS for IMAP (due to security issues with STARTTLS), you need to set Proton Bridge to SSL mode
- Go to Proton Bridge advanced settings and set both connections to
SSL
and export thecert.pem
somewhere. - Open
chrome://settings/certificates
and import thecert.pem
into theAuthorities
tab. Accept all checkboxes. - Restart Vivaldi and Proton Bridge.
- Re-enter the username and password from Proton Bridge and it should work.
- Go to Proton Bridge advanced settings and set both connections to

Hi tr3k,
I've generated the certificates but when I go to vivaldi://settings/cerfificates there is no Authorities tab.
There is Security and Privacy > Security > Manage Certificates.
Or if I go to chrome://settings/certificates I end up at vivaldi://settings
I'm none the wiser as to where the cert.pem gets installed.....
Any advice? I'm using MACOS 13.4.1 on an M1 Macbook Air. -
Has anyone actually managed to get Proton Mail working in Vivaldi on an M1/M2 Mac?
I've looked at all the answers so far and when I get to vivaldi://settings/privacy/ > Security > Manage Certificates, I end up in Keychain Access.
I have no idea what to do next....
Anyone??

@qutib Thank you. This worked for me. I did get an error message from PM Bridge that my the client used an invalid password, but within 2 minutes I received all my PM emails. Thanks again.

Dear all,
I add myself to the list of those who would like the StartTLS option in the input email server. There are news on this topic? -
@albertoru This desired function is already on the Vivaldi team's to-do list, but a release date has not yet been set. See also screenshot:

It's working for me as well, thank you very much for your help.

When in the menu for adding an account to Vivaldi mail there is now the logo of Protonmail besides Google, Outlook, Fastmail etc. Has it always been there or has it been recently added?

@yojimbo274064400 Right, still no luck for me in getting Protonmail set up in Vivaldi mail client though, I'm getting the same errors. I was hoping something had changed or improved. On Linux.
-
@ConatusPrinciple, from its limited description resolution of VB-106347 was unlikely to address that issue.
FWIW not sure how displaying a group of vendor emblems before knowing which vendor account is being setup resolved VB-106347. Hopefully someone knowledgeable will explain.

@craigcpcb I'm also using a silicon mac and running version
6.8.3381.46 (Stable channel) (arm64)
currently and eventually managed to import the Proton Mail Bridge certificate in a way Vivaldi would accept it.I chose
Configure email client
from the main screen of Proton Mail Bridge app and then choseApple Mail
as the email client. First thing that should happen is Proton Mail Bridge suggesting to import the certificate. A similar dialog should appear like in their support article. I canceled the installation and didn't install the profile. I restarted Vivaldi and managed to connect tolocalhost
successfully. -
