Btw, you can have both static beta web client and offline access to the email messages using https://github.com/vladimiry/ElectronMail even being on free account as opposed to Bridge thing. The app also supports "persistent sessions" feature, unlimited full-text search (body content also gets scnned) and other fancy stuff.

Thanks for the recommendation re: Geary! I've been wanting to trial desktop email clients for awhile now and Thunderbird just doesn't have the polish I've come to expect.
Gmail, et al., have become so bloated in recent years.
I'm on Gnome Linux and ProtonMail only mention Thunderbird in their docs, but I've made the bridge work with Geary too. Geary is a bit more simple and modern looking email client alternative. See https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Geary
Still I normally end up using the web interface for ProtonMail as it fits my workflow better and only need to have one tab open in my browser. They even have a nicer looking beta which also has an in-built dark theme at https://beta.protonmail.com
