Trauma Bridge Mac OS

ProtonMail Bridge

The ProtonMail Bridge is an application that runs on your computer in the background and seamlessly encrypts and decrypts your mail as it enters and leaves your computer. It allows for full integration of your ProtonMail account with any program that supports IMAP and SMTP such as Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird and Apple Mail.

That trauma experienced by many low-income and public housing communi-ties present a challenging context for these community building efforts. Trauma is a set of normal human responses to stressful and threatening experiences (National Center for PTSD, 2007). Low-income and public. Explore the world of Mac. Check out MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac, Mac mini, and more. Visit the Apple site to learn, buy, and get support. Basically, I needed to bridge my ethernet and wifi LAN using Mac OS X. Possible solutions: Use an Airport Express. Easy (simply configure the ethernet port with a static IP and disable all other features to have it bridge ethernet/wifi traffic), but not that cheap. Use IPNetRouterX. It looked easy to use, but I didn't really like the idea of.

Before you configure Thunderbird to use ProtonMail, you must first download and install the Bridge on your computer.

To configure the bridge with Thunderbird, first open the application and navigate to Tools -> Account Settings.
In the drop-down menu in the bottom left corner select Add Mail Account
Enter your name as well as the email address and bridge password from your bridge account settings screen. The rest of the configuration (security settings, ports, etc.) should be automatically filled in. Then, press Done.
Note: The password you must use is automatically generated from the bridge. Do not use your Login or Mailbox password.
The password generated by the Bridge app can be found by by clicking on Mailbox configuration under your account username.
Custom domain email addresses can be added to the bridge as well, but need extra configuration to work.
When you enter credentials for a custom domain, Thunderbird will give you an warning: Thunderbird failed to find the settings for your email account.. This is normal and expected.
Enter your settings manually as shown above and click Done.
You will be asked to confirm a security exception for port 1143 on 127.0.0.1. This is your localhost, which means that the certificate that we provide must be self-signed and therefore not trusted by default in Thunderbird.

Thunderbird requires configuring your draft settings manually. Click the Tools menu (top of the screen) and select 'Account Settings'.
Choose the 'Copies & Folders' menu on the left and scroll down to the 'Drafts and Templates' section. Make sure that drafts are kept on the Local Folders. (Some Thunderbird setups won't be called Local Folders, but whatever your default account name is).
Note: Drafts are saved on your local device only. If you create a draft in Thunderbird on your laptop it will only be saved and accessible on that device.
If you would like to disable your client spam filters and rely soley on your ProtonMail spam filters make sure nothing is checked for Junk Settings.
However, keeping your client’s spam filters enabled will offer the advantage of additional spam filtering that is able to utilize the text of all of your messages and will add detected spam senders to your ProtonMail blacklist.
When you send your first message, you may see a Send Message Error. Press OK. This means that you will need to confirm a security exception for port 1025, used for the SMTP server.
You will be asked to confirm a security exception for port 1025 on 127.0.0.1. This is your localhost, which means that the certificate that we provide must be self-signed and therefore not trusted by default in Thunderbird.
Note: In separate addresses mode every IMAP account that you set up with the Bridge is address-specific, and will only be able to send/receive emails from the address it is set up with. You can add any number of addresses to Thunderbird but wait for one address to download before adding another.
If you are in combined address mode, you will have to add your non-primary addresses to Thunderbird if you would like to send with them.
To add an Address, right-click on the Account name in the sidebar and choose Settings.

Success! Thunderbird is now ready to use the Bridge!
