- Sami_Lehtinen 10y agoWhy not Tutanota?
- newscracker 10y agoThanks so much for pointing this out. I had never heard of it before and had a look. It looks good and has a team whose values I identify with. What's more, it has flexibility in billing that looks quite attractive (users, storage, aliases, etc.). Unfortunately, it does not support IMAP or POP, which I prefer just to have local copies of mails as a backup. A paid account looks appropriate (and would help the company stays in business), but it's a bit pricey for my needs (though not as much as other providers who don't have a lot of flexibility on users/storage/aliases). I will try the free account to experience it firsthand.
- nylsaar 10y agoI think startmail has a free week trial you might want to check out.
- mi100hael 10y agoI considered both before choosing one. Ended up going with Protonmail because: * The folks behind Protonmail are also heavily involved in the OpenPGP.js project. Interop with plain PGP from non-Protonmail accounts is on their roadmap and a feasible future feature. AFAIK that's not on tutanota's roadmap and they use a different customized crypto library, so all you'll ever get is e2e encryption with other tutanota users. * Proton's mobile app is a top-rated android mail app, and pretty good even compared to iOS's Mail app. * IMAP support is also on Protonmail's roadmap, but not something I miss due to the good mobile app. * The tutanota.com and tuta.io domains are dorky and hard for other people to remember.
- newscracker 10y agoThanks. I've looked at it before and like the privacy part very much. But it's quite expensive for my needs since I would have to get a few ProtonMail Plus accounts, taking the cost to a couple of hundred dollars a year or more.
