Imap and end to end encryption are not possible at the same time.
Bridge exposes an IMAP interface but encrypts everything as Proton would, had you used the web client.
It solves a technical limitation.

I think that is just about how to strip the iodeOS modifications from the system without a complete reset or something. Probably using adb
and fastboot
as you mentioned. But I have no idea about how any of this works or why I would want to do that.
If you want to install any other OS, just go about it as you would normally. I don’t see how this changes anything really.
I’ve run iodéOS for at least a year by now.
It used to have some bugs that mildly inconvenienced me,but they have all been fixed now.
I really like it. It just works.
Uninstallable default apps just means that the stores (f-droid / aurora), browsers, camera and lots more can be removed in the settings, so you dont need to root access to do so.
Don’t want the default email client and contacts app? Just uninstall them from the settings. Takes a reboot to take effect.
If you need them again, just go back there, install them again, reboot and you’re golden.
Attaching a screenshot from the “Preinstalled apps” page in the settings.
Feel free to ask if you have any more questions.
No, I think you are misunderstanding my poor explanation.
Your emails are encrypted at rest on their server regardless if you use the web client or IMAP through the bridge.
The thing is that the encryption layer must happen at some point in time when you communicate with their API:s. In the web client this encryption is built-in. IMAP on the other hand does not support this type of end to end encryption, so the bridge adds this layer for you.
So you communicate unencrypted locally between your email client (Thunderbird for example) and the Protonmail bridge that you have installed locally on your computer. Then Protonmail bridge encrypts and decrypts all emails for you. So to your email client, it seems like a normal email server, but in reality everything is encrypted.
(Standard “encrypted email” disclaimer: Your emails are not encrypted in transit unless both parties, sending and receiving, are set up for encryption. Email is otherwise not end to end encrypted in transit)
