I'm not sure I understand what you mean, but you don't need your GPG key
to get IMAP or SMTP working.

You can do the following, e.g. for IMAP:
1. Run: hydroxide auth <username>
2. Follow the instructions (Password, TOTP)
3. A "bridge password" is shown, save it!

4. Run: hydroxide imap

5. Use your proton username and the "bridge password" from step 3 as
credentials in your mail client.
6. Use the IP address and port shown when running the command in step 4
to configure your IMAP connection.

I hope this helps.
