ProtonMail does client side encryption/decryption so there is no way to offer vanilla IMAP endpoints without some sort of client side decryption. This is what ProtonMail Bridge does. Although I'd admit it's not always the most stable experience, depending on your mail client.

So let me choose between that encryption and regular IMAP, then. The latter is far more valuable to me if I have to choose.
