Proton Mail Bridge
Proton Mail Bridge application
Proton Mail Bridge is a desktop application that runs in the background on Windows, macOS, and Linux to enable users to access their Proton Mail encrypted email accounts with traditional email clients like Outlook, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, and others via local IMAP/SMTP servers. Because standard IMAP cannot natively decrypt end-to-end encrypted messages, Bridge acts as a translator that downloads encrypted mail, decrypts it locally, and serves it to your preferred mail client over a local server, while encrypting outgoing messages before they’re sent to Proton’s servers. It provides a seamless integration layer for users who need offline support, familiar local client workflows, or tighter integration with desktop tools while preserving Proton’s zero-access encryption model. The Bridge app continues running even when its GUI is closed so that mail clients can remain connected and synchronized, and it supports automatic startup and robust credential handling via secure storage. -

Cypht
Lightweight Open Source webmail written in PHP and JavaScript
All your E-mail, from all your accounts, in one place. Cypht is not your father's webmail. Unless you are one of my daughters, in which case it is your father's webmail. Cypht is like a news reader, but for E-mail. Cypht does not replace your existing accounts - it combines them into one. And it's also a news reader. The driving force behind Cypht development is to provide combined views for multiple accounts, but it's also a standard E-mail client that lets you browse and manage IMAP folders and send outbound messages with SMTP. Cypht is an application built entirely of plugins, or as we call them, module sets (which is obviously way cooler sounding than plugins), that are executed by the framework. Modules provide a flexible way to add new features or customize the program without hacking the code. Cypht is Open Source (LGPL V2), and written in PHP and JavaScript. -
