hydroxide VS ElectronMail

There's an alternative to ProtonMail bridge at https://github.com/emersion/hydroxide

You can use it headless too. But only with a x86 CPU. For that i followed this guide. If you are using an arm CPU (e.g. Raspberry Pi) then i would suggest this application in order to send mails via your protonmail account.

If there ever were any plans I never heard about them. I did try and add I2P support to a ProtonMail bridge but it was rejected because the maintainer frankly didn't seem to understand what it was, which confused me. He seemed to think I had added some kind of WebUI(Which I hadn't) and not POP and SMTP over I2P support(Which I had). https://github.com/emersion/hydroxide/pull/199

Nope, no sync possibilities available. The alternative Proton Mail Bridge, Hydroxide started looking into CalDAV support - but that effort seems to have stranded.

Since I posted this, I was able to get the go package working by applying a patch. It is still not clear to me how I can manage my bridge passwords, though. How do I expire one of them ? Can that be done on the ProtonMail website ?

You can actually send but it is a bit complicated and you need the protonmail bridge, or https://github.com/emersion/hydroxide

I know the hydroxide project started looking into this a couple of years ago too - which should be able to do CardDAV, but it seems that the CalDAV effort stranded too.

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).
