They don’t respond on any platforms, so I doubt that.

It’s probably some dude testing the waters for a mass-spamming bot.

Tuta does not have a text-only mode for it’s interface.

Every once in a while they’ll send you an email with special CSS styling so you can’t avoid seeing it and you can’t unsubscribe from it. They call it a newsletter. It’s advertising. It’s less news and more begging you to buy more of their stuff. Very occasionally they’ll bump new features onto a higher tier but still show that feature in your UI, with special CSS styling. God forbid if they try to upgrade your account but you deny because you’re happy with the features you have now and the amount you pay; they push harder and harder the longer you’re on a ‘legacy’ tier.

It happened to me. It’ll happen to you.

I don’t know mailbox.org but tuta will try to upsell you, eventually. It’s going down the same path as Proton is so maybe stay away from it if you want to get away from Proton.

if this is blue you gotta check ur monitors color calibration

you’re both wrong it’s turquoise

they have to make money somehow.

I was a paying costumer.

Tuta will show you ads in your mailbox, don’t fall for it.

They show you ads as a premium user and spam your inbox with “news” that’s just poorly disguised upsell attempts.

Represent

Tuta are also enshittifying.

Buying your own domain and pointing its DNS at your email provider. The email provider is still your host, but you get to use maroon@yourdomain.tld everywhere and you can seamlessly switch providers. I’ve done it a few times, now.

Where is this graphic from?

Or if you live in a place that still gets snow, but less, and more intense for shorter periods of time, they just point at the snow and go “what climate change” as if measuring temperature is a concept beyond their understanding.

It counts

Yes, I understand, but I think it’s a false premise that email can be secure at all. You shouldn’t treat it as such and you should never send incriminating or sensitive information through email regardless of what promises are made about it being secure lest it is your own server. You can talk to people in much more convenient and actually secure and even anonymous ways and email does none of that so I don’t know why it’s expected to.

Email should, for 2-way communication, at best be used to establish actually secure connections elsewhere.

For all else, it should just be treated as an inbox that random people from the internet can dump stuff in for you to check out at your discretion.

#2 is fair, but I really don’t see any point in encrypting emails at rest when they by design are going to third parties who can do whatever they want with it. I don’t trust emails with sensitive information, so that’s not a problem for me. I wouldn’t have email if that was an option.

If you’re looking for a new home, Disroot has free email services with a one-time payment if you want a custom domain attached. I’m just giving them the money I used to give Tuta every month. I don’t want to sound like a shill, so I’ll keep it short: I believe in Disroot far more than I ever did Tuta because Tuta was a business and Disroot is a movement. Disroot isn’t in a position where a fat cat investor is gonna start squeezing them for a return. Their last finance report also looked pretty good.

The material will still be readily available on the internet.

You’re welcome

The UI might fuck but the UX sucks
