    Is the bridge actually being discontinued? People have been saying that a lot recently but I’ve not seen any evidence for it, and not in the linked article.

    I’m annoyed that they don’t support SMTP, but realistically they actually can’t unless they have the ability to read your email, which they don’t.

        Because with proven concepts the swiss intelligence services would be locked out. And now people have to trust their claims of “swiss privacy laws” (who are shit - the worst in Central Europe. Switzerland had multiple scandals, from a system that had intelligence files on a large percentage of their “unreliable” citizens as part of the “Fichenskandal” to them recently admitting that most internet traffic within and all traffic leaving and entering Switzerland is monitored by the swiss intelligence services - without so much as a judges permit). Yeah, I know, they are audited…But since Snowden we all know how much that is worth.

        The minute they discontinue Proton Bridge is the minute I cancel my subscription with them and change mail providers. No one is prying my beloved Thunderbird from me
