ProtonMail Bridge: Connect ProtonMail to Your Desktop Email Clients

ProtonMail Bridge is an email client that connects your ProtonMail encrypted email account to your desktop email client like Outlook or Thunderbird. It allows you to use ProtonMail seamlessly with your preferred email program while maintaining encryption.

What is ProtonMail Bridge?

ProtonMail Bridge is an email client developed by Proton Technologies that provides integration between the ProtonMail encrypted email service and traditional desktop email clients such as Outlook, Thunderbird, and Apple Mail. It works by connecting your ProtonMail account to your desktop email program, allowing you to access your encrypted ProtonMail messages from within the familiar interface of your preferred email client.

A key benefit of ProtonMail Bridge is that it does not compromise the security and privacy features of ProtonMail. All messages stored on ProtonMail's servers remain encrypted end-to-end. The Bridge client handles decrypting messages for viewing on your desktop as well as encrypting any outgoing messages before sending them through ProtonMail's encrypted email pipeline. This allows you to use the ease and convenience of a traditional email client while still maintaining control over your privacy.

In addition to access from a desktop email program, ProtonMail Bridge also enables useful features such as offline support, allowing you to view and compose messages even without an internet connection. It also facilitates improved search, calendars, contacts management, and other features commonly used in desktop email software. For those who want an encrypted email account but are accustomed to legacy desktop clients, ProtonMail Bridge fills an important niche.
