ElectronMail：ProtonMail 和 Tutanota 的桌面客户端
电子邮件 Email
互联网上的大多数人都拥有来自 Google 等大公司的电子邮件帐户，但这些帐户不尊重你的隐私。值得庆幸的是，目前有 [Tutanota](https://itsfoss.com/tutanota-review/) 和 [ProtonMail](https://itsfoss.com/protonmail/) 等具有隐私意识的替代品。问题是并非所有人都有桌面客户端。今天，我们将研究一个为你解决该问题的项目。我们来看看 ElectronMail 吧。

### ElectronMail：Tutanota 和 ProtonMail 的桌面客户端


![Electron Mail About](/data/attachment/album/201907/21/200603jedbowmssb6ausub.jpg)


[ElectronMail](https://github.com/vladimiry/ElectronMail) 可以简单地视作 ProtonMail 和 Tutanota 的电子邮件客户端。它使用三大技术构建：[Electron](https://electronjs.org/)、[TypeScript](http://www.typescriptlang.org/) 和 [Angular](https://angular.io/)。它包括以下功能：


* 针对每个电子邮件提供商提供多帐户支持
* 加密本地存储
* 适用于 Linux、Windows、macOS 和 FreeBSD
* 原生通知系统
* 带有未读消息总数的系统托盘图标
* 用主密码保护帐户信息
* 可切换的视图布局
* 可离线访问电子邮件
* 电子邮件在本地加密存储
* 批量导出电子邮件为 EML 文件
* 全文搜索
* 内置/预打包的 Web 客户端
* 可以为每个帐户配置代理
* 拼写检查
* 支持双因素身份验证，以提高安全性


目前，ElectronMail 仅支持 Tutanota 和 ProtonMail。我觉得他们将来会增加更多。根据 [GitHub 页面](https://github.com/vladimiry/ElectronMail)：“多电子邮件提供商支持。目前支持 ProtonMail 和 Tutanota。”


ElectronMail 目前是 MIT 许可证。


#### 如何安装 ElectronMail


目前，有几种方法可以在 Linux 上安装 ElectronMail。对于Arch 和基于 Arch 的发行版，你可以从[Arch 用户仓库](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/electronmail-bin)安装它。ElectrionMail 还有一个 Snap 包。要安装它，只需输入 `sudo snap install electron-mail` 即可。


对于所有其他 Linux 发行版，你可以[下载](https://github.com/vladimiry/ElectronMail/releases) `.deb` 或 `.rpm` 文件。

你也可以[下载](https://github.com/vladimiry/ElectronMail/releases)用于 Windows 中的 `.exe` 安装程序或用于 macOS 的 `.dmg` 文件。甚至还有给 FreeBSD 用的文件。


#### 删除 ElectronMail


如果你安装了 ElectronMail 并确定它不适合你，那么[开发者](https://github.com/vladimiry)建议采用几个步骤。 **在卸载应用之前，请务必遵循以下步骤。**


如果你使用了“保持登录”功能，请单击菜单上的“注销”。这将删除本地保存的主密码。卸载 ElectronMail 后也可以删除主密码，但这涉及编辑系统密钥链。


你还需要手动删除设置文件夹。在系统托盘中选择应用图标后，单击“打开设置文件夹”可以找到它。

### 我对 ElectronMail 的看法


我通常不使用电子邮件客户端。事实上，我主要依赖于 Web 客户端。所以，这个应用对我没太大用处。


话虽这么说，但是 ElectronMail 看着不错，而且很容易设置。它有大量开箱即用的功能，并且高级功能并不难使用。


我遇到的一个问题与搜索有关。根据功能列表，ElectronMail 支持全文搜索。但是，Tutanota 的免费版本仅支持有限的搜索。我想知道 ElectronMail 如何处理这个问题。


最后，ElectronMail 只是一个基于 Web Email 的一个 Electron 封装。我宁愿在浏览器中打开它们，而不是将单独的系统资源用于运行 Electron。如果你只[使用 Tutanota，他们有自己官方的 Electron 桌面客户端](/article-10688-1.html)。你可以尝试一下。


我最大的问题是安全性。这是两个非常安全的电子邮件应用的非官方应用。如果有办法捕获你的登录信息或阅读你的电子邮件怎么办？比我聪明的人必须通过源代码才能确定。这始终是一个安全项目的非官方应用的问题。

OK
The majority of people on the internet have email accounts from big companies, such as Google, that do not respect your privacy. Thankfully, there are privacy conscience alternatives like [Tutanota](https://itsfoss.com/tutanota-review/) and [ProtonMail](https://itsfoss.com/protonmail/). The problems is that not all of them have a desktop client. Today, we will look at a project that seeks to solve that problem for you. Let’s take a look at ElectronMail.

‘Electron’-ic warning!

The following app is built with Electron (the name is ElectronMail for a reason). If the use of Electron upsets you, please consider this a trigger warning.

## ElectronMail: Desktop Client for Tutanota and ProtonMail

![Electron Mail About](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2019/07/electron-mail-about-800x500.jpg)

[ElectronMail](https://github.com/vladimiry/ElectronMail) is simply put an email client for ProtonMail and Tutanota. It is built using three big technologies: [Electron](https://electronjs.org/), [TypeScript](http://www.typescriptlang.org/) and [Angular](https://angular.io/). It includes the following features:

- Multi accounts support per each email provider
- Encrypted local storage
- Available for Linux, Windows, macOS, and FreeBSD
- Native notifications
- System tray icon with a total number of unread messages
- Master password to protect account information
- Switchable view layouts
- Offline access to the emails
- Encrypted local storage for emails
- Batch emails export to EML files
- Full-text search
- Built-in/prepackaged web clients
- Configuring proxy per account
- Spell Checking
- Support for two-factor authentication for extra security

Currently, ElectronMail only supports Tutanota and ProtonMail. I get the feeling that they will be adding more in the future. According to the [GitHub page](https://github.com/vladimiry/ElectronMail): “Multi email providers support. ProtonMail and Tutanota at the moment.”

ElectronMail is licensed under the MIT license.

### How to install ElectronMail

Currently, there are several options to install ElectronMail on Linux. for Arch and Arch-based distros, you can install it from the [Arch User Repository](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/electronmail-bin). There is also a Snap available for ElectronMail. To install it, just enter `sudo snap install electron-mail`

.

For all other Linux distros, you can [download](https://github.com/vladimiry/ElectronMail/releases) a `.deb`

or `.rpm`

file.

You can also [download](https://github.com/vladimiry/ElectronMail/releases) an `.exe`

installer for Windows or a `.dmg`

file for macOS. There is even a file for FreeBSD.

### Removing ElectronMail

If you install ElectronMail and decide that it is not for you, there are a couple steps that the [developer](https://github.com/vladimiry) recommends. **Be sure to follow these steps before you uninstall the application.**

If you are using the “Keep Me Signed In” feature, click “Log out” on the menu. This will delete the locally stored master password. It is possible to delete the master password after uninstalling ElectronMail, but that would involve editing the system keychain.

You will also need to delete the settings folder manually. You can find it by clicking “Open setting folder” after selecting the application’s icon in the system tray.

## My Thoughts on ElectronMail

I don’t usually use email clients. In fact, I mostly depend on web clients. So, I don’t have much use for this application.

That being said, ElectronMail has a nice feel to it and is easy to set up. It has a good number of features activated out of the box and the advanced features aren’t that hard to activate.

The one question I have relates to search. According to the features list, ElectronMail supports full-text search. However, the free version of Tutanota only supports a limited search. I wonder how ElectronMail handles that.

At the end of the day, ElectronMail is just an Electron wrapper for a couple of web-based emails. I would rather just have them open in my browser than dedicate separate system resources to running Electron. If you only [use Tutanota email, they have their own official Electron-based desktop client](https://itsfoss.com/tutanota-desktop/). You may try that.

My biggest issue is with security. This is an unofficial app for two very secure email apps. What if there is a way to capture your login info or read through your emails? Someone who is smarter than I would have to go through the source code to know for sure. That is always the issue with unofficial apps for a security project.

Have you every used ElectronMail? Do you think it would be worthwhile to install ElectronMail? What is your favorite email client? Please let us know in the comments below.
