I've been using, and paying for a #Tutanota email for over 3 years now. And I think I'm going to give it up.
After 3 years, it's still not possible to use OpenPGP, I have to use a dodgy system and give a password to everyone I want to email who doesn't use Tutanota.
Searching for emails is a pain, a real pain.
It is not possible to use any client other than Tutanota.
I came from #ProtonMail, and changed because their commercial com. became too aggressive for my taste. I may reconsider...
I tried changing my e-mail from Gmail to something else, and Samsung kept telling me every e-mail I wanted to use was not allowed. For example, Duck dot Com provided by DuckDuckGo was not allowed.
Samsung was in the way of avoiding Google and so Samsung, had to go. I am not going to compromise. The goal is to delete, Google and Microsoft too.
@Tutanota Happy Birthday Tutanota! 🎉🥳 Scaling Tutanota Mail from zero to ten million users is an impressive milestone! Your journey to success is inspiring, and the contest sounds like an exciting way to celebrate. Here's to continued growth and innovation in providing secure email services. #Tutanota#EmailSecurity#HappyBirthday
@jgayfer I recommend both. The services provided by #tutanota and #proton are excellent. You can choose one of them with closed eyes and you won’t regret it.
heres a simple color flip of default dark theme on #tuta#tutanota which i discover by accident. i like the crimson shade of red and darker gray elements.
wish @Tutanota would consider adding it as fourth option
I currently read some crime #novels again. Fiction literature. And there are many encounters with police gaining access to someone's (either criminal or victim) #email content, private messages on #SocialMedia, text messages on #phone etc. I wonder if it could be really possible in real world.
Or what would happen if someone use hard disk encryption? Do they have these #data from service providers? Could using encrypted email service like #Protonmail or #Tutanota prevent this? If I understand correctly, emails content is encrypted in rest.
Are regular data deletion, history cleaning and/or disappearing messages (like #signal features) effective for this?
If someone avoid big mainstream services, only niche/encrypted/self-hosted ones are they safe?
Is it possible to become immune to this both via software/service choices and online habits? How to achieve this if so?
I don't want to commit crimes, only become "invincible" :blobcatjoy:
@Tutanota
Tuta Mail values privacy, with strong encryption and a commitment to keeping user data safe. It's a secure choice for protecting privacy. #Tutanota#DataPrivacyDay
@Tutanota it's the best email service I've ever used, it has encryption, a simple ui and it's also open-source and it doesn't collect any data. it also respects your privacy :blobcatcoffee: #privacy#tutanota
The Swiss government is also apparently conducting mass surveillance of its citizens, but @protonmail and @Tutanota , which uses end-to-end encryption and is open source and transparent, should have no problem.
Final, privacy is not determined by the country where they are based, but by encryption and transparency.
Well, I see that #Tutanota is not going to work. Not allowing hot switching between accounts, not having a bridge so I can easily manage my email, and having no way to import my old email so I am not managing mutliple accounts... it's definitely not ready for prime time.
Honestly, between #Protonmail 's buggy mobile client and Tutanota's "we know better than you" approach to mail management, I see why people just give up and use anti-privacy solutions like Google.
So I use Tutanota app on my Android phone and have the credentials saved for my main account.
The other day I logged in to check on a second account and after that logged tout, but I still keep receiving notifications for this logged out account, and it's fucking annoying.
« encrypted “emails” within Tuta, which cannot extend beyond their walled garden, are not really emails at all: they are encrypted messages using a proprietary format »
Proton takes a moment to address some concerns, point-by-point, of people comparing it to Tutanota.
This article focuses largely on the encryption, and some misinformation about Protons practices.
