I'm considering switching. Would you mind sharing what bothers you?
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;
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.
Thank. That was very thorough.
I've been using Tuta since 2018 so I'll give you some of my gripes:
Edit 1: fixed typo
Do they not let you use your own domain name? I wouldn't use an email provider that forces you to use their domain... It makes it a pain if you ever want to switch provider.
They let you use your own domain now. But I've been using this provider since 2018. The article I linked to was written in 2022 so 4 years later. I was already established so I'll have to go through a lot of services to change it. But if I change everything to my domain then what is preventing that domain from getting flagged? I don't know enough about spam filters.
You likely won't ever be sending spam, phishing emails, viruses, etc from your own domain, so it has no reason to get flagged.
It's worth the pain to switch to your own domain, since you'll likely never have to change your email address again. I've used several different email providers over the years, but if you email me at an email address I used 20 years ago, it'll still get to me today.
Clever, thank you!
Thank you. That was helpful.
