The workaround is to add this +certificate to the root trust database. Please note that this is tested +on Arch Linux, and might not be valid on other distros. Run this command: + +```bash +sudo trust anchor --store ~/.config/protonmail/bridge/cert.pem +``` + +For outgoing mail to work, you might have to change the SMTP +configuration in `protonmail-bridge` and set security to SSL instead of +STARTTLS. + +Example account configuration, using the default ports of +`protonmail-bridge`: + +```ini +[Protonmail] +source = imap+insecure://youraccount%40protonmail.com:yourprotonmailbridgepassword@127.0.0.1:1143 +outgoing = smtps+plain://youraccount%40protonmail.com:yourprotonmailbridgepassword@127.0.0.1:1025 +default = INBOX +from = Your Name <youraccount@protonmail.com> +copy-to = Sent +``` + +The first time you run aerc with this configuration you can expect a +very long wait before anything shows up in your inbox. This will be +considerably faster on subsequent launches. |
