@bojkotiMalbona I understand how to work around it. The “pointless” comment was because #hydroxide’s IMAP support is little more than an over-engineered local mail spool.

@bojkotiMalbona TIL about #hydroxide

“For now, [IMAP] only supports unencrypted local connections.”

Well, that sounds both terrible *and* pointless.

@Katy @k8vsy #Protonmail pushes CAPTCHA sometimes, unlike #tutanota PM’s app is not on #FDroid, & you’re trapped on their vulnerable javascript-based client unless you subscribe to their bridge or use #Hydroxide (but hydroxide was broken last time I checked). Protonmail also ditched the fedi & went exclusively #Twitter for announcements, calling into question their digital rigthts commitment

#Protonmail (whose microblogging presence is limited to Elon Musk’s assets) has become quite a burden in the past couple yrs. #Hydroxide is broken, thus pushing us to use the web client (because #Electronmail is broken too), and the web client periodically pushes a CAPTCHA. So it’s a game of trying to login as infrequently as possible, yet if too much time passes your acct is dead.

#Protonmail is playing a cat-mouse game with #Hydroxide, the FOSS alternative to PM’s bridge, and Protonmail is winning (sadly enough): https://github.com/emersion/hydroxide/issues/179

@thunderbird @protonmail @loveisgrief #Hydroxide is more needed for Tutanota since Tutanota doesn’t even have a bridge of their own. But it would also be more complex to add an interface for Tutanota since they don’t simply use openpgp but rather something home-baked IIUC.

@loveisgrief @protonmail @thunderbird There is also #hydroxide. In principle you should be able to run hydroxide on a trusted server, then configure your phone MUA to connect to your IMAP server (which is what the bridge gives you). Just a matter of putting a hole in your firewall.

@drivs @phryk not only is it tor-accessible, but protonmail has an onion host so you can bypass the tor exit node. Unfortunately #hydroxide is hard-coded to use the clearnet site, but if you run a distro that still supports Electron, then Electronmail gives the option to use protonmail’s onion host.

@frankie @joel FYI there is a 3rd party app #hydroxide that gives an IMAP bridge at no cost. But indeed Protonmail doesn’t get credit for that and their statement remains a #hypocrisy.

Hoy me puse a documentar en castellano como configurar la libreta de direcciones de Protonmail con el cliente de email **aerc** y bueno poco a poco fui metiendole mas cosas, aunque aun falta https://man.sr.ht/~rek2/Hispagatos-wiki/software/email_estilo_hispagatos.md #aerc #hydroxide #khard #protonmail #email #consola #linux #gnu #hackerculture

@thatbrickster @orekix @Hyolobrika@mstdn.io @inference@pleroma.inferencium.net The flaw with #Protonmail is that it relies on on-the-fly #JavaScript. A smart user can use #Electronmail or #hydroxide to counter the threat of malicious JS, but then when Protonmail pushes their #CAPTCHA things get dicey.

@Hukadan Yeah, I read a blog post from six months ago and it described such setup. And by using #hydroxide SSL was working properly even with #mutt.
