Secure email: Tutanota free encrypted email

Tutanota is my first e-mail provider since deGoogling.

ProtonMail didn't have an integrated Calendar (at that time at least) and was more expensive. Fastmail is Australian which is a non-starter from a privacy perspective. Unironically written from the US. Also, more expensive to use your own domain.

Tutanota is €1/mo (billed yearly), lets me use my own domain, has a calendar, and is based in Germany.

Since using it, I realized without the Calendar scanning my Inbox and auto-adding flights and trips and birthdays, I don't use it as much. But I also haven't traveled much since March.

Definitely worth a look if privacy is a goal, and money is an object.

I have to say, i smiled a bit with protonmail (since I'm swiss), but Tutanota looks interesting and much cheaper/fairer 1GB for free is super nice..to put it mildly....maybe i shutdown my own email server someday.

How does this compare to Fast Mail or Proton Mail for general non encrypted use? For example how is the quality of their mobile apps, import/export features, etc?

It's pretty basic, but it gets the job done.

The Android app's good, and available from F-Droid. And the features are solid. There's definitely room for improvement, but no glaring deficiencies in my experience.

To be specific though, their roadmap [1] includes "Import External Mailboxes into TutaNota", and I don't use their desktop client, so I'm not sure what export options are available there.

I love my tutanota email, well worth the money. I use it for business only but honestly Id love to ditch gmail for the rest too, tired of the spam
