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.

    It’s not Tuta but I adore Fastmail.

    No BS. No gimmicks. Just privacy aware, protocol conformant E-mail at a reasonable price.

        Services cost money to run. Either you pay for the product or you are the product.

        Make your choice, name your poison. No skin off my nose in any case :)

          I mean I self host for 4€/month and I could fit multiple emails in there

          Email is pretty much just about storage at some point, and there are a lot more cost effective servers for this, than a simple VPS

        Yeah. Email’s actually quite unpleasant (not hard) to do well. Look sideways at anyone doing it free or super-cheap.

          I’m selfhosting with mailcow and it’s great

          But I agree, setting it up from scratch is really annoying
