Good question. The ProtonMail Bridge is middleware, handling encryption and
decryption. The user merely tells the client to use IMAP and particular
nonstandard ports. So it ought to work with most anything. Except that there
are only x86 and Mac versions. I think that the Linux version, if compiled for
arm7, would work with SFOS, but there isn't one of those, so we're left with
variations on webmail.
Hence my hope of cooking up an app, webmail with notifications. The Android app
sort of works -- I'm using it to write this -- but despite the usual hacks and
kludges notifications don't work. And things like attachments, both ways, are
kind of flaky. And I need to have a whole Android support system, just for
ProtonMail, which kinda sucks.
