# ProtonMail Skill
Access ProtonMail via IMAP using either:
- **Proton Bridge** (official, recommended)
- **hydroxide** (third-party, headless)
## Setup
### Option 1: Proton Bridge (Docker)
```bash
# Pull and run
docker run -d --name=protonmail-bridge \
-v protonmail:/root \
-p 143:143 -p 1025:25 \
--restart=unless-stopped \
shenxn/protonmail-bridge
# Initial login (interactive)
docker run --rm -it -v protonmail:/root shenxn/protonmail-bridge init
# Then: login → enter credentials → info (shows bridge password) → exit
```
### Option 2: hydroxide (Headless)
```bash
# Install
git clone https://github.com/emersion/hydroxide.git
cd hydroxide && go build ./cmd/hydroxide
# Login
./hydroxide auth your@email.com
# Run as service
./hydroxide serve
```
## Configuration
Create config file at `~/.config/protonmail-bridge/config.env`:
```bash
PROTONMAIL_HOST=127.0.0.1
PROTONMAIL_PORT=143
PROTONMAIL_USER=your@email.com
PROTONMAIL_PASS=your-bridge-password
```
Or set environment variables directly.
## Usage
```bash
# List mailboxes
protonmail.py mailboxes
# Show recent inbox
protonmail.py inbox --limit 10
# Show unread emails
protonmail.py unread
# Search emails
protonmail.py search "keyword"
# Read specific email
protonmail.py read 123
```
## Daily Scan
The `daily-scan.py` script identifies important emails based on:
- Important senders (banks, government, schools)
- Urgent keywords (DE/EN/NL)
Configure important patterns in the script or via environment variables.
## Sieve Filters (ProtonMail)
Recommended Sieve filter for auto-sorting:
```sieve
require ["fileinto", "imap4flags"];
# Important emails - flag them
if anyof (
address :contains "From" ["@bank", "@government"],
header :contains "Subject" ["Urgent", "Dringend", "Belangrijk"]
) {
addflag "\\Flagged";
}
# Newsletters - auto-read and move
if anyof (
address :contains "From" "newsletter@",
address :contains "From" "noreply@"
) {
addflag "\\Seen";
fileinto "Newsletter";
stop;
}
