Ouch, pretty hard to recommend a service that has admitted to building tools for LE.
> This should not change anything for other users; their emails should continue to be encrypted by default. Nevertheless, Tutanota sees a one-time bypassing of encryption as a data protection and security risk for all customers.
> As Tutanota emphasized, the surveillance measure only affects newly incoming unencrypted e-mails. The company cannot decrypt already encrypted data or end-to-end encrypted e-mails in Tutanota.
It's a bit unclear here if it only means plaintext, incoming emails are effected while in transit or if all new plaintext emails are/could be saved without encryption.
