      I’m in the same boat - with them for the encrypted email, but it does hold me back from using third party apps on mobile. Hopefully they get an easier way to use third party apps on mobile. Will probably just end up being a mobile bridge app or something

      Thx! That’s for desktop. The bridge is alright. There’s no major drawback to it afaik. But this is news about android. Thunderbird bought k9mail

        The bridge just creates imap/smtp servers, so you should be able to add it to thunderbird on Android.

          That’s very good to know, thx! But that means I have to run the bridge on my server, open the ports there etc. , right?

            If I were in your position, which I am and will probably end up doing this, is vpn into your home network and just connect to the local IP of your bridge server.

            WG tunnel on F droid allows for you to auto connect to your wireguard server when you leave your home net, and auto disconnects when you get back on your home net.

            Personally, I’m unsure if proton bridge listens for external request or if it only accepts requests from localhost? If that’s the case it may be an issue.
