A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Kind of I guess? i don't use these features.
Oh, also, they don't really implement e2e email encryption, which is kinda ironic. Your emails are stored encrypted, and e2e encrypted when sent to other tuta users, but to everyone else, the only way to send an e2e encrypted message is a normal email with a password protected link.
Tuta argues that their system is more secure/private, since pgp doesn't encrypt metadata. I'd argue that not supporting pgp means you aren't serious about encryption. It might be in theory less private, but it's the one encryption standard people actually use for email, and not supporting it excludes their user from sending e2e encrypted mail in a sensible way, and from receiving it at all, unless all their contacts also use tuta. Which might be the point.
What would you recommend then?
I have my own domain, so I need a provider that can have custom domains.
I'm with Proton for my private addresses right now, but while they do allow for pgp, they're guilty of many of the same practices as tuta is, and I might go elsewhere when my contract is up. The reason I'm still there is that they do implement pgp, so I haven't had strong enough incentive to switch.
I have good experiences with Mailbox.org. I heard good things about Posteo, runbox, and start mail, but haven't tried either of them personally.
