    Comments about Tuta Mail as an Alternative to Gmail
    Comment summary: Tutanota is generally praised for its privacy-focused approach, offering end-to-end encryption and not selling user data, which contrasts with Gmail's monetization model. Users appreciate the easy-to-use interface, minimal design, and affordable premium plans. However, there are some concerns about occasional account deletion and the lack of POP/IMAP support, which limits compatibility with some email clients like Thunderbird.

    Tutanota is a great email provider with very good encryption (it uses end-to-end encryption like Signal – i.e. they cannot read your emails/gife them to the government, Gmail can!) and they don't sell any data. It is also very easy to use, it has a very nice app, a desktop client and a web client. There is really no reason why you wouldn't want to use it :)

    AVOID. Deleted my account for not using it, but I had it tied to important accounts. The only way to get the email address back is to buy a paid account.

    The most secure and private email on the market. As such, there is not free version. This is a good thing, it means they are not making money with your information.

    Lack of labels - only folders. Poor and broken search function on web client (seems to scramble email details in results?) Unable to send through external addresses. Does not group multiple separate emails from same sender. No multiple star colours

    It's open-source, easy to use, compatible with IMAP, and not spying on you. To top it off, it also supports encryption and PGP!

    At the moment, Mailbox.org is probably the best Gmail alternative: 1) You pay for the service with money, not your privacy (no data mining), 2) Excellent integration of encryption, 3) excellent Calendar and Contacts (not on mobile yet), 4) Yubikey 2FA, 5) Data stored in Germany (better privacy laws).

    Best Gmail replacement at the moment. You get all the suite functions like the calendar, address book, cloud space, apps for a fair cheap price and the priceless privacy policy and encryption without losing IMAP capabilities as with some even more privacy focused email providers like Protonmail and Tutanota.

    Privacy-oriented and based in Belgium, which ensures your data isn't being sold to anyone. No ads. Overall better performance on the web client. Free plan already offers a plethora of useful features, although you can get more if you pick one of the (cheap) paid plans.

    The main advantage is the security. Mailfence uses encrypted email, respects more the privacy of their customers.
