I’m not the person you were asking, but I recently tried tried Tuta with my own domain and decided to look elsewhere due to a few things;

• No way to import mail, despite it being announced as “worked on” back in 2022. This is a fairly huge blocker IMO.
• Email rules don’t seem to apply until you view (and I assume decrypt) your mailbox. This led to some annoying behaviour like push notifications for emails that should have had rules applied to them.
• Spam filtering is all over the place - it’s overzealous and filters legitimate emails, and at the same time it lets in plenty of actual spam.
• The mobile apps are odd - you get realtime push notifications, but when you open the app and view your mailbox, it takes 20-30 seconds for it to show the email it just notified you about (even if you tap the notification).
• Their history of outages and instability are a big cause for concern IMO. Email is a crucial service, so uptime, deliverability, and data integrity are paramount.

For routine/non-sensitive email, they feel like too much hassle for the average punter in my opinion. And if I put on my industry hat; their frequent downtime is a huge red flag, and a sign that they either don’t know what they’re doing or don’t have enough cash to operate properly.

Having said that, I still think they’re the best current option if privacy/encryption is your only concern - to the best of my knowledge no one else takes that quite as seriously as they do.

Hmmm I’ll have to check what Moses said about that

Yes, we agree. I was just pointing out that it’s quite a lot of that something, which is a good thing!

But you’re right it would be good to see some consensus from other non-religious moral authorities.

Legitimate or not, that’s 1.3+ billion people that now need to agree with us that Trump is evil. I’d rather have that than the opposite, wouldn’t you?

Last count there was about ~1.3 billion Catholics (back in 2021), not counting other denominations that recognise the Pope. As far as moral authorities go there aren’t many that have that much sway.
