Bumped the version to 3.0.9. So, I couldn't get the migration of the secrets file to work reliably from v2 to v3, and in the end decided to do nothing about migration. What it means, is that a new secrets file will be created in ~/.config/protonmail/bridge-v3/secrets on first run, and a manual re-login is required (from protonmail-bridge --cli). After that the service can be run as usual. The old secrets file, in ~/.config/protonmail/bridge/secrets, can be deleted.

Just a heads up, many changes in v3 of the protonmail bridge. Not insignificant one is that v3 has altogether new message ids, it seems, see https://github.com/ProtonMail/proton-bridge/issues/220 for some history. For instance, if you're using mbsync, expect that it'll break with the version change and a manual intervention will be required.

It should be run as a user (i.e. not from root), the service name is protonmail-bridge. So,

systemctl --user enable protonmail-bridge

should in principle work. Do you have protonmail-bridge.service listed if you do 

pacman -Ql protonmail-bridge

?

Before you enable and start the service, you need to login once by running the service in an interactive mode:

protonmail-bridge --cli

and then login. See also help while in the interactive mode.

I'm having one problems with this.

Systemd cannot find the unit file associated with this package. I tried both systemctl --user enable and systemctl enable as root.

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

This is a patched version of protonmail bridge, where the secrets are kept in ~/.config/protonmail/bridge/secrets file (mode 0600) instead of using pass or gnome-keyring. In this way, protonmail bridge can be started as a service without additional user input. Arguably, this is a weaker security arrangement than the default one, so please use at own discretion.
