I personally don’t like Tutanota for a lot of reasons. The other day I recommended Tutanota to someone that needed a new email account and they weren’t able to create the Tutanota account using Tor. They tried using a VPN and they weren’t able. Tutanota said their IP address was being used for abuse.
What’s the point of a private email if you block anonymizers?
Some people might find a use case for it, of course. And their post advocating against anti-encryption laws is good. But I don’t think it’s a good email provider and I won’t be recommending them again.
For people willing to give up their identity, I’ve had no issues with them. Since I have a domain tied to them and the domains tied to an identity it’s fine for me.
So I agree they’re not an anonymous email provider.
They are however in encrypted at rest email provider. And and I’m happy to recommend them to anybody who doesn’t need anonymity in their email.
Fair. Glad you found an email system that works for you, PGP is great.
They are in the f Droid repo, which means fdroid does build them from the source code.
I just don’t think tutanota is shitty, they’ve just made different trade-offs.
