@pixelcode I agree with you that there are better messaging solutions out there. But that's not what I care about when I'm using encrypted email.
I want to have interoperability, not a walled garden.
I want to receive and send encrypted emails to people outside of the Tutanota ecosystem.
I want to be able to use the OpenPGP feature with Addy.io and #SimpleLogin aliases.
ProtonMail supports it, that's why I use it. I won't be a Tutanota customer until they have all the features I expect to have.
We can't exchange encrypted mail with people outside Proton - it just sends a link whose password you then need to share through a secure platform like #Matrix, #Briar, #Session, #SimpleX or #Signal. Then why not just send the message on that secure platform in the first place?
Encryption for some is a lost cause.
Encryption for all or it's just another walled garden.
@islamicaudiobooks@pixelcode I wasn't talking about ProtonMail's exclusive PM-to-PM E2EE option (or with a password, as you described), like Tutanota also has its own.
ProtonMail, in contrast to Tutanota, also supports OpenPGP, which is an open standard, which makes it interoperable with any email client that supports it (e.g. Thunderbird). So Thunderbird users can send encrypted emails to ProtonMail users.
@islamicaudiobooks@pixelcode
That is correct. As long as that email message was encrypted with OpenPGP keys (the sender must know the recipient's public key).
