Not allowing IMAP/POP isn’t just for the lulz, it’s not compatible with the encryption architecture Proton uses, which is kind of the selling point of the product. You can either have your emails encrypted at rest with your key OR you can have plain IMAP/POP without a bridge client, you can’t have both.
- crossroadsguy 1y agoDid I anywhere say it was for the "lulz"?
- int_19h 1y agoI never really understood the point of that. If you are exchanging emails with someone using one of the most popular email services that together make 99% of the marketshare, their server retains your email unencrypted anyway. So the only time that encryption will really matter is when emailing someone who is also using Proton.
- mjh2539 1y ago> the only time that encryption will really matter is when emailing someone who is also using Proton. Correct, and this was/is explicit when you first sign up for a proton email account.
- kevin_thibedeau 1y agoProton also supports PGP emails... for the dozen or so people who are setup to receive them.
