what i expected Thunderbird will successfully sync with my ProtonMail account. I will be able to vew my emails through Thunderbird

what actually happened. a yellow error box saying "Unable to log in at server, Probebly Wrong configuration, username or password"


    • What i tried to do**

- Checked that both Thunderbird and ProtonMail are not blokced by the firewall

Notes: ProtonMail bridge sometimes pop that error alert when im pressing "Done" on Thunderbird. I am not sure what it means by "local Bridge password" were it is. and what should i do with it. if it all

I am not a customer of Proton, I have never seen their sopftware but I have read a little about how their supposed encryption works. My feeling is it does not work for email at all. But personal views aside, point 2 of the steps Proton list for installing into Thunderbird are Enter your name, email address, and Proton Mail Bridge password. I assume you have not done that as you claim not to know what it is. Perhaps you need to ask the folk at proton.

I did look at the install instructions for the bridge software and point 2 in that indicates the password to use for the account is displayed when you add the account to the bridge. https://proton.me/support/protonmail-bridge-install
