All I found in that directory was a file, .directory, which listes many translations of
the word "Autostart".
at this point
i'm not sure whether it is kmail or protonmail bridge that's
causing the problem. the error thrown: "The connection to the server
DrippingWithIrony was unexpectedly closed or timed out. It will be
re-established automatically if possible." I am not certain that it ever
gets established.
sometimes strace helps in such cases
I have no idea what the results are supposed to look like, so I have no idea whether
it's showing anything anomalous. Perhaps you would be able to read it, but I can make
no sense of it.
the issue is
this: the only linux mail client officially supported by
protonmail bridge is thunderbird, which i'd use if it supported maildir,
but it doesn't and i see no reason to think it ever will. configuring
protonmail bridge is actually fairly straightforward -- both incoming and
outgoing use 127.0.0.1. imap is port 1143; smtp is 1025. there is an
elaborate password, which i get from protonmail bridge itself.
don't know - you should be able to check those
even with telnet
Not sure how I'd do that, but a check of the ports tells me that the bridge is
listening:
Desktop-Bridge 4392 dep 11u IPv4 34290 0t0 TCP 127.0.0.1:1143 (LISTEN)
Desktop-Bridge 4392 dep 12u IPv4 33466 0t0 TCP 127.0.0.1:1025 (LISTEN)
Which I imagine is expected behavior. Nor are there failure to login errors from kmail.
no one argues against. I just asked because I recall
you were writing about
it, so it looks like kmail is not able to authenticate against your local
protonmail instance.
Right. I can view mail through the webmail version of Protonmail -- that's how I'm
writing this -- but after months of being able, with reasonable success, to use ProtonMail
bridge I now can't, and I can't figure out any diagnostics for determining what
got broken.
what happens if you check in the settings of the
account for example
security or something - could be ssl certificate expired or who knows what.
If there were a certificate problem, wouldn't kmail throw an error? There are no
security settings as such with Protonmail Bridge, and the settings in kmail appear to be
correct.
What I need to find out is if kmail is actually communicating with Protonmail Bridge. If
it is, then I need to find out if Protonmail Bridge is communicating with the server in
Switzerland. And I have no idea how to do either of those things.

Sent with ProtonMail. Because privacy matters.
