Protonmail keeps getting rejected by Apple Mail

I continue to have problems with Protonmail connected to Apple mail via the bridge. Apple Mail cannot connect to protonmail and will not accept my password or other details.

Apparently Protonmail is not 'signed'. Last time this happened I reinstalled Bridge, removed the account from Apple Mail, restarted my imac and eventually got it to work. But now it has happened again. Perhaps I should just stop using Apple Mail altogether? It might work better with another email client?

iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.15

Thanks, after a lot of frustrating attempts to get it working (it used to work until recently without problems), Apple Mail still cannot connect to Proton.

I have now given up and gone over to Thunderbird which works fine on all my accounts.

Try the Microsoft Outlook App, less picky.

If you absolutely need a "secure" email app, there are other offerings out there.
