Comment summary: Tutanota is highly regarded for its encryption and privacy features, with users praising its ease of use and availability across multiple platforms. Positive feedback is noted for its open-source nature, encrypted calendars, and absence of ads and tracking. Users appreciate its anonymous usage without a phone number. However, some concerns arise over account deletion after inactivity, lack of PGP support, and occasional service downtime. The service lacks IMAP, preventing full end-to-end encryption guarantees.

I've come across Tutanota recently when looking to an email service to sign up for without a phone number. Tutanota was the only one I could find.

Maybe there are more, but the amount of tracking (phone number, ip addresses, etc.) that's going on online right now really scares me. It becomes close to impossible to use the internet anonymously. Some sites now even force you to sign up with Facebook and the likes, that's mad!

Anyway, I'm very happy that I've found Tutanota - not only can I use it anonymously, it's also encrypted and open source.

proton mail and tuta mail is basically the same for privacy. for being anonymous, you can try temporary/disposable email addresses, something like https://tempmail.so

Tutanota deletes your email after 6 month of innactivity

Nathan Lile

This really is a huge downside.

wren8005

is it bad? i mean you are aware why you picked tuta. for privacy and security reasons, auto deleting after 6 month of inactivity is good idea. and also giving 6 months time is enough to consider you abandoned that address.

"Free of charge accounts are deleted after an inactive period of six months. A regular login is necessary to prevent automatic deletion. We delete such accounts for security reasons and also to allow us to offer free of charge Tuta accounts at all. However, the email addresses of such deleted accounts may be taken over into another paid account and re-used as email aliases or additional user addresses if you still have the valid login credentials."

they deleted my account because I forgot to log in in 6 months, I was too busy to notice. So now am locked out of my discord account, unless I want to cough up some money for a new shiny paid account JUST to get the free account back. bllsht. Am just sticking to gmail from now on

Honeypot E-mail provider, do not trust them.

Juri

can you share an article?

Bill de Haan

If you're interested, Tuta wrote a blog post about that, addressing the claim.

https://tuta.com/blog/tutanota-not-a-honeypot

From what I've seen on CBC news, it looks like it was a claim by a not very technically literate person in a court case, and when asked to give details, the person just kept saying "I don't recall".

Some policy made it terrible and I deleted it after I found out about that. While I liked the usability and budget friendliness, 6 month account deletion due to inactivity is absurd 😤

I don't recommend it. I registered on some platforms using my email address and continued using it. When I tried to log in to my email address after a while, it deleted my account due to inactivity, and I couldn't log in or register using my email address again. I found this to be very dangerous, as I could lose accounts at any time because of this.

What is Tuta Mail?

Tuta is an all-in-one email, calendar and contacts app which protects your data with full end-to-end encryption and it requires zero personal information. Tuta is built with open source software so you can inspect every piece of code running on your devices so you can be sure that your privacy is protected. Tuta can be installed on your Android device through the Google Play Store, F-Droid, or by manually installing the APK. These alternative options make it easy to create a Tuta account without providing Google with any unnecessary information. You can also create your account with full Tor and VPN support.

With both free and paid subscription options (starting at €3 per month), you can create your anonymous account fast and easy starting with 1GB of storage all completely free of charge. If you are looking to drop Big Tech in favor of an app which protects your privacy and security, check out what Tuta has to offer.
