Tuta is a end-to-end-encryption mail and calendar provider. They recently wrote a good blog-post about changing to european services.

You probably don't need that legendary plan though. You can get the regular plan for the same price later, it offers more than enough for a regular user. As of now, try it for free. Fuck FOMO.

lol I was literally FOMOing on this, and it's so true that I don't even need the legendary plan. Thank you for bringing me back to reality.

Even Gmail allows to use the email client of your choice, going for an email provider that force you to use their app is a bummer

Tuta kept giving me ads despite being a premium user and when I finally decided to leave they made it impossible to cancel. I had to delete my account to get out of the bind.

Are you referring to their newsletter? I just set a spam filtering rule to automatically discard those. Also can you elaborate more on it being hard to cancel your subscription? I can do it very easily.

I do have my own list of complaints about Tuta, but so far they are the best I've found

[โ€“] drkt_@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 6 days ago

That's not the only one, but I refuse workarounds on services I pay for out of principle.

[โ€“] monarch@lemm.ee 2 points 6 days ago

They sent me an ad for the legendary plan sale even though I am already a legendary user already. It was amusing because it is literally the only email they have sent me in my several months of using them

Itโ€™s fun to see how people rage over corporations who sell their data and let people use their products for free. And when you want to use more private products, they complain about how they need to pay for it.

I have been using Tuta for a couple of years now, when I decided to not use Google anymore and I think Tuta is worth the money.

You need to use Tutaโ€™s application because they canโ€™t provide their security with a other applications.

[โ€“] monarch@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago

If anything ever happens I'm more than willing to leave but as for now it more than accomplishes what I need it to.

My big plus is I was able to get my last name as my email address so it's way shorter than it used to be.

I checked out their business offering because I was curious and apparently they don't even support single sign-on.

What the hellโ€ฝ How do they expect to sell to businesses if they can even support the most basic features like SSO in 2025?

This is made worse by the fact that they don't support phishing resistant authentication like passkeys. Single sign on could have solved this since login (including stuff like mfa) would be handled by idP

[โ€“] jakroz@lemm.ee 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

What SSO are you expecting? Google? Microsoft? GitHub? You see the problem here?

The missing passkey is certainly something they can work on but this is definitely not a critical feature

[โ€“] lud@lemm.ee 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

I would want to be able to use any of the common IdPs. That does indeed include Google Identity, Microsoft Entra ID, GitHub, Okta, AWS, but also self hosted (and often open source) IdPs like AD FS, Keycloak, Shibboleth, Gluu Server, and so on.

It's ridiculous that a supposed business plan doesn't support SSO to even generic spec compliant SAML or OIDC IdPs. It's not exactly rocket science.

There is absolutely no way in hell we would ever use this at work when it lacks even rudimentary SSO.

It might be targeted more towards smaller businesses but more and more companies are moving towards SSO and passwordless so they should implement it.

Maybe its tempted? Idk, I'm translating from Italian.. ๐Ÿ˜…

Bone apple tea.

I have been using Tuta since the start of the year when I decided it was time to remove myself from Big Tech as much as I can. Really highly recommend them!

[โ€“] skoell13@feddit.org 3 points 6 days ago

My Proton account still runs til November (it's cancelled) this year, would be nice to subscribe to Tuta and activate it starting October so I cpuld move stuff. Guess I have to hope for other deals in the future

[โ€“] rocky1138@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago

Also consider KolabNow

[โ€“] emergencybird@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Did they ever say if they will end the old 1EUR/month premium plan? I've had it for years now and when I clicked the GIF to look at what the legendary plan price was, it warned me my current plan doesn't exist anymore
