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

I really dislike Tuta for their refusal to support SMTP/IMAP and PGP, let alone CalDAV or CardDAV. Posteo's approach is way better.

SMTP/IMAP

Is this not a deal breaker for, like, everyone?

Posteo has no custom domain support, deal breaker for me. As far as I understand they don't support IMAP in order to keep their encryption working, and I believe others like Proton do the same thing. Since their webapp is good and they even have an official client on Fdroid, I don't think it's a big deal

Just started a test subscription with posteo... I'm rather disappointed they don't allow to view the email previews in vertical columns. Their layout is horizontal only and can't be changed. It's a very small pet peeve, but i wasn't expecting not being able to change that :(

Sigh, I have just one problem with Tuta - why such a stupid, stupid name?! I can already imagine myself on the phone saying "yes, T. U. T. A. Tuta dot com"

I sadly agree. It is an odd choice for a name. Tutanota wasn't much better either, their former name. Apparently "tuta" means secure in Latin. However as I am using my own custom domain it doesn't bother me very much personally as it's not a part of my digital identity ๐Ÿ˜…

[โ€“] EfreetSK@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Oh! I didn't know it has a latin origin. Then I guess it makes sense but still ...

It really is. Could've been worse, like having some "I love Tuta" stickers. smh

TIL: they used to be called Tutanota. The word โ€œTutaโ€ comes from Latin, which roughly translates into โ€œSafeโ€. This acts as a nice successor to what โ€œTutanotaโ€ meant in Latin, which was โ€œSecure Noteโ€.

How about some pcloud in these trying times?

[โ€“] Lfrith@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't know if keemailme is better but that's another option from them.

Yeah good point. If tuta is a big throw off they do offer:

This has always been under good advisement, for privacy.
