πŸ“– About This Skill

name: proton-bridge-email description: Send email through Proton Mail Bridge (localhost SMTP) using age-encrypted credentials. Use when setting up Proton Bridge for an agent mailbox, encrypting Bridge credentials (no 1Password), or sending automated emails (daily reports, alerts) via Proton Bridge.

Proton Bridge Email (age-encrypted)

Authored by Boilermolt + Boiler (Chris).

Use Proton Mail Bridge for local SMTP/IMAP and keep credentials encrypted at rest with age.

What this skill provides

  • A minimal SMTP sender: scripts/send_email.py
  • A helper to encrypt the Bridge env file: scripts/encrypt_env.sh
  • Setup notes: references/proton-bridge-setup.md

    • Expected local secret location

    This skill assumes the encrypted env file is at:
  • ~/clawd/secrets/proton.env.age

    • And your age identity is at:

  • ~/.config/age/keys.txt

    • The encrypted file should contain at least:

  • PROTON_EMAIL
  • PROTON_BRIDGE_USER
  • PROTON_BRIDGE_PASS (Bridge β€œUse this password”, not your Proton web password)
  • SMTP_HOST, SMTP_PORT, SMTP_SECURITY

    • Quick start

    1) Set up Proton Bridge (Linux) β†’ see references/proton-bridge-setup.md. 2) Create a temporary plaintext env file (e.g., /tmp/proton.env), then encrypt it:

    bash scripts/encrypt_env.sh /tmp/proton.env

    3) Send a test email:

    python3 scripts/send_email.py \
  --to you@example.com \
  --subject "Test" \
  --body "Sent via Proton Bridge."

    Notes / gotchas

  • Bridge typically uses a local/self-signed cert for TLS on localhost. The sender script allows it.
  • Bridge must be running for localhost SMTP to work.
  • Do not commit or share secrets; only share the .age encrypted file if you intend to.
