Paid tiers allow for alias addresses, inbox rules, ability to add additional users, multiple calendars, and priority support from the Tutanota team. Tutanota has a generous free tier that includes 1GB of storage, limited search capability, and an encrypted calendar. According to Tutanota's FAQ page, they can only read metadata such as sender email address, recipient email address, and date of the email. Emails to external recipients (non-Tutanota addresses) are encrypted with AES-128 - a preshared password is used for sending an encrypted message to an external recipient.Īll data stored in Tutanota is encrypted according to a zero-access standard both encryption and decryption occurs locally on users' devices and Tutanota has no access to stored data. Registration for a Tutanota account requires no personal information such as mobile phone numbers or real names.Įmails between Tutanota users are automatically encrypted end-to-end using a hybrid combination of AES-128 and RSA-2048. Tutanota is a privacy-friendly encrypted email provider operating out of Germany.
Proton should offer Bridge for the users that want it but we should have the option to connect via regular IMAP/POP3. Why do I need an application running in the background all the time that does what my email client can do by itself? Bridge is not necessary. I do have a Proton subscription so I can use a custom domain and I also use Proton Mail Bridge, but I would rather download all the emails encrypted and decrypt them locally with a mail client than use Bridge. Running your own mail server is also a lot of work for what seems to be minimal benefits over Proton Mail. The only way I can achieve something similar is by running my own mail server which is not guaranteed to be more secure because the most popular mail servers (gmail, outlook, yahoo and others) usually do not accept mail from residential IPs so you need to have your server in the cloud or use a relay for outgoing email so you are kind trusting a third party just like when using Proton Mail.
The point of Proton Mail for me is that Proton Mail stores all the incoming email encrypted and they claim to not have access to the content (other than the subject) of stored emails that weren't sent encrypted. I can manage encryption keys myself and I do using gnupg and mail clients, but I cannot force Amazon, eBay, Google or any other company to send me encrypted emails using my public key. That's not the point of Proton Mail for me.
