This is done for added security according to ProtonMail.Ĭonfiguration in the client depends on that client. The password is generated by the Bridge application and not identical to the ProtonMail password. These use 127.0.01 as the hostname, local ports, and the ProtonMail username as identifiers. ProtonMail Bridge displays the IMAP and SMTP settings afterwards.

You can change it it with a click on mailbox configuration so that all addresses are handled individually (each with its own mailbox). Bridge is set up in combined addresses mode by default all email addresses are managed in a single mailbox in that mode. You are then asked to sign in using your ProtonMail username and password to add the account to the Bridge application. Start with a click on the "add account" link in the program interface.

The actual setup of accounts happens when you run ProtonMail Bridge on the system.
