I did find updates a bit of a problem with this app, when I clicked on the update, and downloaded it, I had to try a few times before it installed OK because I couldn’t at first get Bridge to close before the update installation… operator error maybe, but I don’t know.
The Bridge is an application that runs in the background, one that I added to the list of applications to open when my Mac starts up, and it seems to be trouble free. I haven’t seen a way to have this email password protected via the Mail app but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a way to do that in Bridge… maybe you know how? The only real problem with using this way to see ProtonMail email is you lose the security of the web browser, as you need to use your password to access them in the browser. Mail now shows the ProtonMail emails in a folder below the Mail email account and are easy to deal with. It wasn’t clear during the installation what I needed to do next, but once I read the help, the Bridge worked fine. Setting up was relatively simple but I did find that I had to refer to the online help pages. At just over £4 per month (there is a yearly pricing option that can save you money over the monthly payments) it’s not that expensive, especially if it lets you see your email in the Apple Mail application. That caveat is this you needed to have a paid up account with ProtonMail for the Bridge to work as the free accounts are not allowed to use this feature. Now, that has all changed with the release of the ProtonMail Bridge… with one small caveat. This worked fine on the whole, but it wasn’t as convenient as with most other dedicated mail apps. Using iOS, it’s very simple to see emails sent and received via the ProtonMail app, but on macOS the only way, until now, was to use a web browser login page. It offers mobile apps and a web client for desktops. Although this sounds like a title for some science fiction book or movie, it is in fact a way to see your ProtonMail in mail clients such as Apple Mail.įor those who don’t know ProtonMail is a secure, encrypted, open source, email service based in Switzerland and has a variety of free and paid options.
