@PlexSheep@infosec.pub I don’t think you understand how Proton stores email on their servers. STARTTLS, imaps, and smtps all encrypt during transport, but would require the server to have a decrypted copy. Since they use zero-access encryption to store emails, that’s not possible.
See https://proton.me/support/proton-mail-encryption-explained
@PlexSheep @MrPoopbutt SMTP and IMAP are impossible since they can’t decrypt your data. They do have https://proton.me/mail/bridge to enable you to use those protocols, however.
@Sunny @CosmicCleric If you are okay with self hosting, you can use this project to make it work: https://github.com/shenxn/protonmail-bridge-docker
@RandomLegend @Sunny When did you ask? I inquired back in November and they told me it was only available for certain plans, and I wasn’t eligible with unlimited.
@sunred @piracysails Yeah, because they can’t decrypt your email, they can’t really provide it over IMAP. https://proton.me/support/proton-mail-encryption-explained has more details.
