I can view mail through the webmail version of Protonmail -- that's how I'm writing this -- but after months of being able, with reasonable success, to use ProtonMail bridge I now can't, and I can't figure out any diagnostics for determining what got broken. > what happens if you check in the settings of the account for example > security or something - could be ssl certificate expired or who knows what. If there were a certificate problem, wouldn't kmail throw an error? There are no security settings as such with Protonmail Bridge, and the settings in kmail appear to be correct. What I need to find out is if kmail is actually communicating with Protonmail Bridge. If it is, then I need to find out if Protonmail Bridge is communicating with the server in Switzerland. And I have no idea how to do either of those things. dep Sent with ProtonMail. Because privacy matters.
