I’ve been looking to switch from gmail to a different email provider that’s more private. I’ve been hearing about Tuta, are there any drawbacks to it? Are there better options?
For a while I was planning on making the switch to protonmail but that’s off the table now due to the recent events surrounding them.
I’ve used Tuta for more than 4 years. It’s a solid choice if you accept a couple few things:
they’re a small company, doing their best to survive.
you have to use their client apps. They take security very seriously and assume all of their users do as well.
prices might go up every few years but I am still paying my original rate, for my original features.
the search function does work but is very slow.
But otherwise, I’m very happy and expect to stay with them for the forseeable. Good luck in your search.
