Tutanota / Mailbox.org?
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!
You're viewing a single thread.
If you want a compatible, interoperable email service, then Mailbox. Tutanota is a propietary, centralised email system.
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"
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.
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!

Just since nobody else answered your question: No. A Tuta user can send an encrytped message to anyone (including non-Tuta users). Those users then get an unecrypted message, saying "Click here to read your message", which takes them to the Tuta site, which lets them see the message. The non-Tuta user can then reply to the Tuta user as they like.
But you're right about the UI. Tuta users have to use the Tuta UIs (mobile, desktop, web).
I'm just teaching myself - maybe good practice.
I have concerns about mailbox being under jurisdiction of 14eyes.
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
