Option 1: Proton Mail Bridge (recommended)
Bridge is a desktop app that exposes standard IMAP/SMTP locally. Free accounts can use it.| Protocol | Address | Port |
|---|---|---|
| IMAP | 127.0.0.1 | 1143 |
| SMTP | 127.0.0.1 | 1025 |
- Username: Proton Mail address
- Password: Generated in the Bridge UI—not your Proton login password
Install Bridge
Download and install Proton Mail Bridge from the Proton website.
Sign in and get credentials
Sign in to Bridge and copy the IMAP/SMTP username and password it generates for your mail client.
Option 2: Paid direct IMAP/SMTP
Proton Mail Plus and other paid plans support direct connection toimap.proton.me. See Proton’s official IMAP documentation for current settings.
Free Proton Mail does not support direct third-party IMAP. Use Bridge instead.
