Is Tuta a good alternative to gmail?
-
My bad. Its been a while, but Thunderbird at one point. If I remember right there was an update relatively recently that made it much more difficult to import offline emails, so if you find a better alternative let me know.
Hmm, I wonder if Betterbird has solved that problem... I've actually only ever used webmail as I didn't understand the benefit of a desktop platform—until these (increasingly) privacy-invasive times!

Nothing. It's just FUD.
Here's an article about it: https://medium.com/@ovenplayer/does-proton-really-support-trump-a-deeper-analysis-and-surprising-findings-aed4fee4305e
Even if the CEO did support the orange turd, I would personally still be able to separate his personal opinion from what the non profit is doing.
Great source, thanks

It's not Tuta but I adore Fastmail.
No BS. No gimmicks. Just privacy aware, protocol conformant E-mail at a reasonable price.
5€/month for email?

He explicitly supported the republican party in its current guise. That's enough for me to run.

Yeah. Email's actually quite unpleasant (not hard) to do well. Look sideways at anyone doing it free or super-cheap.

I'm selfhosting with mailcow and it's great
But I agree, setting it up from scratch is really annoying

I am using Android until I can find an alternative. I've turned off all optimisations I can find. I haven't had the issue in a few weeks, but it did happen once since changing settings. I'm hoping that something random I did (like a phone restart) somehow fixed everything.

You mean you're considering something like PostmarketOS? Just wonder where people are looking for alternatives.

I've been looking to switch from gmail to a different email provider that's more private. I've been hearing about Tuta, are there any drawbacks to it? Are there better options?
For a while I was planning on making the switch to protonmail but that's off the table now due to the recent events surrounding them.
I've been using it for a few months now. Works just fine, doesn't do anything fancy but it doesn't need to. Filter rule creation is pretty limited, which is my only issue so far.

I'm looking everywhere I can. I haven't found any OS that works with my current phone (Nokia G42), and the aren't too many phones that meet my needs (dual Sim, small, headphone jack, repairable, runs open source OS).
I've given up actively searching and I'm mostly browsing Lemmy and hoping to stumble across something useful. Please let me know if you have any more suggestions.

That was informative, thanks.
I agree with you, I would be extremely surprised if the Proton CEO supported Trump.. I would say very unlikely.
Very thinly veiled tho... It's not an immediate threat, but it's best to just move away from it if you can.

Services cost money to run. Either you pay for the product or you are the product.
Make your choice, name your poison. No skin off my nose in any case
I mean I self host for 4€/month and I could fit multiple emails in there
Email is pretty much just about storage at some point, and there are a lot more cost effective servers for this, than a simple VPS

I didn't like that Tuta didn't support IMAP which means I am locked in to using their client. I self host my own CalDAV and carddav servers for calendar and contacts and wanted a single client for mail/calendar/contacts. Without IMAP support I could not do that. I ended up going with fastmail and am okay with the privacy tradeoff of no end to end encryption.

Self hosting email is a non trivial effort. I've done it before and am in zero rush to do it again.
And before you tell me "Oh hey I've had no problems at all with delivery getting blocked by GOOG or MSFT" good on you but that has NOT been a lot of people's experience trying to self host their E-mail, including mine.
