No, I think you are misunderstanding my poor explanation.
Your emails are encrypted at rest on their server regardless if you use the web client or IMAP through the bridge.
The thing is that the encryption layer must happen at some point in time when you communicate with their API:s. In the web client this encryption is built-in. IMAP on the other hand does not support this type of end to end encryption, so the bridge adds this layer for you.
So you communicate unencrypted locally between your email client (Thunderbird for example) and the Protonmail bridge that you have installed locally on your computer. Then Protonmail bridge encrypts and decrypts all emails for you. So to your email client, it seems like a normal email server, but in reality everything is encrypted.
(Standard “encrypted email” disclaimer: Your emails are not encrypted in transit unless both parties, sending and receiving, are set up for encryption. Email is otherwise not end to end encrypted in transit)
Imap and end to end encryption are not possible at the same time.
Bridge exposes an IMAP interface but encrypts everything as Proton would, had you used the web client.
It solves a technical limitation.
Most, if not all, of those hired as a software developers at any of these companies has loads of other jobs they could take. The only thing setting them apart is the size of the paycheck.
For less in-demand skills I get your point though.
I believe money shouldn’t be involved.
Just match sellers and buyers together and let them figure the terms and transaction out themselves.
All that is needed is a way to find what you want and a solid system of building trusted profiles with ratings and such.
Not a simple task, but keep the money out and it will all be easier.
It’s a great ride!
Same. Need iOS support to share with those close to me with iPhones.
What? It’s not available for ultimate users? I thought I was paying to have access to all features…
Beautiful, thank you very much. Will print and have on desk.
Take any photo from my posts and draw a replica of it!
Give it a couple attempts! Our first attempt failed miserably because we were not patient enough.
Start the project in the morning on a day when you’re free the whole day and won’t feel stressed if filtering takes 4 hours.
I don’t work as a bartender, but a bartender I spoke to yesterday explained they do big batches during the day so they are ready to pour when ordered.
The clarification process makes the resulting cocktail last significantly longer. It is some sort of preservation method that I don’t know how or why it works.
Hi, yes you are correct.
This is how we made the drink. Most clarified drinks follow a similar pattern:
This is the longest process I have gone through to make a cocktail, but it was really good and fun to learn! Next clarified cocktail I make will probably be a golden caddilac :)
It’s rolling out slowly. I got access to it yesterday :)
I don’t understand. What is happening here?
Situations like these are the strength of the fediverse. Move your account to an instance that shares your values or doesn’t care about stuff like this.
Maybe you shouldn’t even have had your account on the largest server to begin with?
Edit: Didn’t mean to ridicule any of you all. I based my comment on my experience when I signed up. At that time there were plenty of instances to pick from and getting approved at my instance of choice was very quick. My bad.
Tack!
