From ac1a32ea52532fadba18128d67b9dc211002059e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aditya Garg Date: Mon, 30 Jun 2025 18:06:56 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] docs: mention possible options for Proton Mail users Proton Mail is an privacy-focused email service gaining popularity. Unfortunately, it does not provide an SMTP server to send emails. Proton Mail Bridge is an official solution for paid users, and for free users, a client named git-protonmail is available. Mention the same in the docs.
