Hi guys!
I’m looking for a Proton alternative. So far I’ve seen these two recommended. I was wondering what are the pros/cons of each? Seems Tutanota offers more bang for the buck in mailbox size etc, but I’m not sure. I’d also like to have a better integration with Android, because Proton’s email/calendar apps suck big time.
Thanks!
If you want a compatible, interoperable email service, then Mailbox. Tutanota is a propietary, centralised email system.
So any concern about mailbox.Org severs being in Berlin and Germany being apart of the 14eyes alliance?
Tutanota is also german, if I am not mistaken.
That’s right feels a bit silly now
This. You can’t use your client, not on your phone nor on your PC. Therefore Tutanota was never a viable option
Tuta also doesn’t easily support pgp and has no plans to integrate it. “we encrypy our stuff for you, trust us bro”
Their clients are open source. Might not be “standard” like PGP, but if you could read code, you could verify that it’s encrypted before it gets sent.
I’m just teaching myself - maybe good practice.
I have concerns about mailbox being under jurisdiction of 14eyes.
Wouldn’t that be only between Tutanota users anyway? Sure, you could use PGP manually, but it is more annoying, I prefer the seamlessness of doing so in my client. Not to mention not having an option if you, say, don’t like the UI!
