       | Now you are using another email client that you have to take care
       | of its security yourself, and besides, anyone who has access to
       | your machine will have access to your email when you turn on
       | Bridge and open your email client. A big part of Protonmail is
       | that these emails are not "stored" (cached, whatever) on your
       | machine.

       | curious if that author's (deprecated) protonmail bridge hydroxide
       | (https://github.com/emersion/hydroxide) has the same problem.
