i'm glad you have kmail working as you like.
i do, too.
|What does this protonmail do that makes it so much more desirable?
it's not either/or. protonmail is a secure mail service, not a mail
client. you can learn about it if you like at
protonmail.com. thing
is, access to protonmail in linux is currently via a secure web
interface (or an unofficial desktop app that is really a secure
browser dedicated to protonmail). for windows and mac there is a thing
called protonmail bridge. it encrypts the mail on the local machine
before sending it, and decrypts it upon receipt, allowing more
traditional mail clients to send and receive mail through protonmail.
there is currently a beta, available only from protonmail, of the
bridge for linux. that is what i am trying to install, so i can
continue to use kmail, as i have for nearly two decades.
part of the reason for this is a change of the terms of use by my isp
a week ago, wherein they announced that they would be combing through
my email, pictures, and everything else in search of things useful to
them. as a reporter and photographer for a living, i found this
unacceptable. hence protonmail and hence my desire to make it work
with kmail.
