just installed protonmail.apk in the latest version 1.10.5 and the app works fine with WiFi, but refuses to connect to the internet via mobile data. Any idea how i could get the mobile internet working?
where might one get protonmail.apk? i don't find it in either repository and am stuck with my barely adequate pseudo-webapp.
UPDATE: oops -- i do not do android, so i didn't realize that .apk is an android extension. never mind -- if i wanted android i'd run android. there used to be a protonmail application or patch for sfos, and i foolishly thought there was an updated, working version. sorry.

there was once a sfos-native protonmail app or script, but it apparently broke and is no longer around.
security is the one market niche that jolla could exploit, now that blackberry has committed suicide, but i see no evidence they're even slightly interested in it, so i'm hoping sfos on my xperia x will do until one of the secure open source phones ships.
