I'd be wary about potential lock-in. The service seems to rely on everyone using their product. I'd like to see an end goal where they can communicate with other clients that support PGP or S/MIME.
I do like how their approach avoids ever having an email sent from Tutanota in plain text other than when either the sender or receiver views it. Of course the main issue is the receiver has to jump through hoops if they don't use Tutanota. I imagine most people will not enjoy the hoop jumping.
- jokoha 12y agoIn their FAQ they say: "We are planning on making Tutanota interoperable with pgp"
- aswerty 12y agoAh yes, I missed that (the FAQ is quite long). It'll be interesting to see how that works out.
- darklajid 12y agoAnd no way to access your mail via IMAP or .. any mail client, really. That's a no-go. >Can I retrieve my Tutanota emails via IMAP to another email client? >This is not possible as we could not guarantee end-to-end encryption for your data.

- mike-cardwell 12y agoWell, it is possible. They'd need to write an IMAP proxy which can run on the end users machine which sits inbetween the client and the server and handles the encryption/decryption transparently.
