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?
Personally never had to use either protocol, what’s your use case? - genuinely curios.
How do you use email without SMTP/IMAP?
Using Thunderbird as opposed to tuta’s quite barebones client:
- delayed messaging
- message scheduling
- local backup of mails
- no email import
- desktop app failures (happens quite often to me that I just can’t log in)
Not to mention other external QoL functionalities like a home assistant tablet being able to display a family calendar and being able to automate based off of events
Web apps.
For reference I work for a competing mail provider and the majority of our users don’t use SMTP or IMAP, instead exclusively using the web app.
or the app app lol. Tuta has apps on all platforms.
