All I found in that directory was a file, .directory, which listes many translations of the word "Autostart".

I have no idea what the results are supposed to look like, so I have no idea whether it's showing anything anomalous. Perhaps you would be able to read it, but I can make no sense of it.

Not sure how I'd do that, but a check of the ports tells me that the bridge is listening:
Desktop-Bridge 4392 dep 11u IPv4 34290 0t0 TCP 127.0.0.1:1143 (LISTEN)
Desktop-Bridge 4392 dep 12u IPv4 33466 0t0 TCP 127.0.0.1:1025 (LISTEN)
Which I imagine is expected behavior. Nor are there failure to login errors from kmail.

Right. I can view mail through the webmail version of Protonmail -- that's how I'm writing this -- but after months of being able, with reasonable success, to use ProtonMail bridge I now can't, and I can't figure out any diagnostics for determining what got broken.

If there were a certificate problem, wouldn't kmail throw an error? There are no security settings as such with Protonmail Bridge, and the settings in kmail appear to be correct.
What I need to find out is if kmail is actually communicating with Protonmail Bridge. If it is, then I need to find out if Protonmail Bridge is communicating with the server in Switzerland. And I have no idea how to do either of those things.
dep
Sent with ProtonMail. Because privacy matters.
