Combining the security features of ProtonMail with MacBook’s convenience in the native mail application enhances the management of mails through the use of this framework. This configuration depends on software known as Proton Bridge that provides a connection between the encrypted mail service and email clients employing IMAP.
First, make sure that you have a ProtonMail account with a Plus or higher subscription since the Bridge feature is only available to these plans. Download and install ProtonMail Bridge from ProtonMail’s official website. Open the Bridge, and enter your ProtonMail credentials to log in. The Bridge will then provide configuration details necessary for setup. Open the MacMail app and go to ‘Add Account’ under Mail from the top menu; this opens a window titled Other Mail Account. Continue will be clicked after selecting Other Mail Account. Name, ProtonMail email address, and password generated by ProtonMail Bridge (not your regular ProtonMail password) are what should be filled into the fields of this window.
Once you fill in these fields, MacMail will ask you for more information. IMAP should be entered as the account type. Use the given server settings (both incoming and outgoing) via ProtonMail Bridge. Please ensure that Bridge-recommended port settings and SSL preferences match those.
When all is entered, click on ‘Sign In’. Afterwards, MacMail app connects to your ProtonMail using Bridge enabling one to manage emails straight from their MacMail program.
Get started today by setting up your ProtonMail account in the MacMail app to simplify your mailing procedures. Should there arise any challenges while setting up, help can always be sought from ProtonMail’s support team who provides instructional guides including troubleshooting tips.
