    If emails are encrypted at rest, as in the cases of Tutanota or ProtonMail, IMAP cannot be used as it is. In fact ProtonMail offers a bridge app for desktop, which interacts with PM servers, decrypt the emails and offers a local IMAP server so you can use Thunderbird, etc.

      Why is that? IMAP push works well with K-9 Mail and OpenKeychain on my smartphone.

      I don’t need proprietary encryption since it is useless.

          I didn’t say I don’t need encryption. Proprietary encryption is even worse for people in war-torn areas of the world since it can get you killed.
