First, trying to figure out the whole 127.0.0.1 certificate thing. 127.0.0.1 is a loop that remains on the local machine, so where the hell would it even get a certificate?

Second, and I am thinking I might be getting closer here, in that ProtonMail Bridge is secure from the local machine out into the great wide world, I shouldn't really need a secure connection from KMail to 127.0.0.1, which is the bridge. I wonder if I'm inserting something that needn't/oughtn't be there.

Does any of this make sense?

Yes. I agree that you do not need to secure IMAP between KMail and ProtonMail Bridge when they're communicating exclusively over loopback within the box.
