@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.

Okay, I that makes sense, but still IMAP and SMTP are the standard. At least let me self host bridge on my server.

The only real solution would be PGP, but that has a pretty bad usability.
