    Do they offer cloud storage now? From what I can see on their web site, it’s 500GB…just for email. I mean sure, that’s cool, but it would take me several lifetimes to accumulate 500GB of email so it’s not much of a selling point to me.

    It’s a good email service, anyway. I’ve been using the free tier for a few years. Similar to Proton, and in theory Tuta is more private because they encrypt the headers as well as the message body.

      I use their paid tier mostly for custom domains. Tuta gives me 3 custom domains and Proton only offers 1 on their respective base paid plans, so Tuta gets my business.

      I don’t think the encryption difference matters all that much, what matters to me is:

      • FOSS clients
      • custom domains (so I can easily switch providers or self-host); I need at least two
      • local decryption

      Tuta provides those, Proton doesn’t, and I don’t need the extra features Proton provides, so Tuta gets my money. I just wish Tuta had a few minor more features, like:

      • labels - allegedly in development
      • better calendar sharing - I’d love to sync NextCloud and Tuta calendar automatically
      • reply as Gmail/etc - makes it much easier to switch from other providers, probably nothing they can do though
      • features to make it easier to leave - auto forwards and whatnot

      It meets my needs though.
