Kontakt wont save proton mail bridge certs

Seems like when using Kontact ( flatpak ) with proton mail bridge it works after changes auto configure port from 143 to 1143. Then giving access for bridge with certificate → continue and expire/remember forever. This wont be saved and it asks each time i open kontact, email, send, recieve, check mail.

I guess just missing Kwallet from saving it

Hi, thepatle. Maybe you resolve the certificate problem, but if helps somebody, this is what I did:

Download the certificates (are in the .pem format) from the Proton Mail Bridge application (in settings) and save it to the desktop. Then copy the two certificates to /etc/ca-certificates/trust-source/anchors/, and update the certificates database.

sudo cp *.pem /etc/ca-certificates/trust-source/anchors/
sudo update-ca-trust

Hope it helps.

thank you for the reply and Flatpak Kontact still keeps promting the certificate popups. i might need to give flatpak access to cert location too

i found the bridge server .pem /etc/ca-certificates/extracted/cadir so at first i copy extracted certs to cadir also and it didint work so then i copy the bridge server .pem to /etc/ca-certificates/trust-source/anchors/

still promting it is untrusted so now i am lost on this one
