Proton Bridge (CLI only) packaged for SailfishOS. Also includes a systemd service which you can enable using:

systemctl --user daemon-reload (only the first time)
systemctl --user start proton-bridge.service

Note that the way it works is pretty idiotic and you have to stop it before you can configure it:

systemctl --user stop proton-bridge.service

Then you can get configuring:

proton-bridge --cli

Configuring

When inside the interactive shell, use help command for instructions. But the basic flow:

  • login - to store an account
  • info - to print the connection details

When you run the info command, you will get a similar output:

Configuration for you@example.com
IMAP Settings
Address:   127.0.0.1
IMAP port: 1143
Username:  you@example.com 
Password:  <random-string> 
Security:  STARTTLS

SMTP Settings
Address:   127.0.0.1
SMTP port: 1025
Username:  you@example.com 
Password:   <random-string>
Security:  STARTTLS
 

These are the settings you can use in any IMAP/SMTP email client, like the Jolla built-in Email app. Some apps (like Thunderbird for Android) manage to pre-fill everything except the password automatically, with others (like the Jolla Email app) need to be configured manually.
