ElectronMail VS ProtonClient

an application i use a lot is electronmail, the only problem with it is it's only aur package is a binary that bundles it's own electron. if you could make a package that built it from source and used system electron i would greatly appreciate it!

Using Electron-Mail as a Desktop client on multiple devices (Windows, Linux, MacOS) and can say nothing bad about it - it's basically an electron wrapper with added features - I like having my email in a dedicated app. https://github.com/vladimiry/ElectronMail You could also install the website as an app (should work in most browsers).

Electron-Mail offers offline access/ a database. https://github.com/vladimiry/ElectronMail

You van use Electronmail to do this in the meantime: https://github.com/vladimiry/ElectronMail

also you can look into ElectronMail, which is basically what the official desktop app will probably more or less be

It's not self-hosting, but ElectronMail lets you use ProtonMail in an electron app using their frontend code.

Is there a reason that everyone is asking for an official client and not just using ElectronMail? It's had support for Drive for months

The general go-to recommendation for cross-platform email clients is Mozilla Thunderbird (PrivacyGuides, OpenSource.com). I like to be able to have access to my emails offline and currently, I am using ElectronMail, which encrypts the offline datastore with a password that has be input every time the application is launched (GitHub README.md).

If you only use Protonmail and don't need to connect any other accounts, ProtonClient and ElectronMail are pretty good. Both basically just the web version of PM but you get desktop notifications (PC with mail content; EM just "You've got mail"

I also made a client.

Very often chromium based browser and apps (like my client) suffer from the very unorthodox way of chromium engine to handle color in linux...

OK... I just read your note on GitHub (https://github.com/Steccas/ProtonClient#security-notice-about-this-client)

If you think you need that or just don't want to deal with the bridge I published it on github anyways.

Anyways I tought that it may be useful for everyone that uses protonmail so I recently published it on GitHub.

That's why I did a client for myself: https://github.com/Steccas/ProtonClient
