$5 "tax" to export your #Protonmail emails.
Nice.
@kev Right? Gotta have to pay it once. :/
Another reason I want out.
@obsolete29 Expensive. Contacted for a regional price, no go. IMAP bridge last I checked was not available on Linux, even if you pay for it (might have changed by now). And last of all, walled garden. You only really get the benefits when going from PM to PM. Which is basically not 99% of the world.
@celia Check out Hydroxide[1]. I use it with a free account and it works perfectly fine.
@telroy @celia I have msgs trapped on #Protonmail because of a #CAPTCHA that hits every time I attempt to login. I'm a bit baffled that #Hydroxide is feasible because the Protonmail API pushes #CAPTCHA which would not be possible to pass through over IMAP.
@celia @telroy Ah, I think I found the answer to that: https://github.com/emersion/hydroxide/issues/179 Apparently a GUI login is needed with Firefox as a precondition to using #Hydroxide. Which BTW brings security risks because AFAIK you must run #Protonmail's on-the-fly #JavaScript (instead of #Electronmail).
@telroy I've started fiddling w/Hydroxide, thanks to your tip. I had to solve the CAPTCHA in a browser to get my account functional, after which Hydroxide worked. It seems like being logged in on a GUI while running a Hydroxide daemon keeps the door open.
@resist1984 That’s weird. I didn’t have to do anything of this. It just worked™. Maybe because I’m always logged into the ProtonMail app on my phone?
