You can learn more about ProtonMail Bridge and download it from their official site here. It essentially ‘translates’ what is received from ProtonMail servers in encrypted form in a language that email clients like Mail can understand thus playing a role of a bridge. It acts as a local email server that interacts with the Mail app, while the bridge also communicates with the ProtonMail’s encrypted email server. You don’t need to make any change to your email client, since the Bridge will encrypt and decrypt emails in the background for you. With ProtonMail Bridge you can access your email account with the stock Mail app on the Mac while still having zero-access encryption and end-to-end encryption ProtonMail is known for. The support has been added through ProtonMail Bridge, which is available for download to those with paying ProtonMail accounts.
On iOS and Android ProtonMail has released dedicated email apps, so adding support for stock Mail clients is a welcome change in their strategy. In addition to stock Mail app on the Mac, ProtonMail is also supporting other email clients like Microsoft Outlook and Mozilla Thunderbird. Once done, enter your IMAP port number and IMAP host. Choose whether you want to backup in batch mode or proxy mode. You need to create an app password for accessing the account. If you use ProtonMail or have been holding off until the secured mail service adds support for email clients like Apple Mail, then you will be pleased to know that the ProtonMail has finally added support for Mail and other apps to its encrypted mail service. After you open the tool, you will be required to enter your ProtonMail email id and password.
