ABOUT
Proton Mail Bridge runs a local IMAP/SMTP service that lets traditional mail clients access a Proton mailbox. This LXC runs Bridge headless and forwards IMAP/SMTP to the LAN using systemd socket activation (systemd-socket-proxyd).
infoAfter install, run protonmailbridge-configure inside the container for first-time setup.
infoLAN forwarding (container IP): IMAP 143 -> 127.0.0.1:1143, SMTP 587 -> 127.0.0.1:1025.
infoYou can later use protonmailbridge-configure to temporarily stop the service and enter the Bridge CLI.
