5 days agoI’m not the person you were asking, but I recently tried tried Tuta with my own domain and decided to look elsewhere due to a few things;
- No way to import mail, despite it being announced as “worked on” back in 2022. This is a fairly huge blocker IMO.
- Email rules don’t seem to apply until you view (and I assume decrypt) your mailbox. This led to some annoying behaviour like push notifications for emails that should have had rules applied to them.
- Spam filtering is all over the place - it’s overzealous and filters legitimate emails, and at the same time it lets in plenty of actual spam.
- The mobile apps are odd - you get realtime push notifications, but when you open the app and view your mailbox, it takes 20-30 seconds for it to show the email it just notified you about (even if you tap the notification).
- Their history of outages and instability are a big cause for concern IMO. Email is a crucial service, so uptime, deliverability, and data integrity are paramount.
For routine/non-sensitive email, they feel like too much hassle for the average punter in my opinion. And if I put on my industry hat; their frequent downtime is a huge red flag, and a sign that they either don’t know what they’re doing or don’t have enough cash to operate properly.
Having said that, I still think they’re the best current option if privacy/encryption is your only concern - to the best of my knowledge no one else takes that quite as seriously as they do.
I don’t want to be a downer, but realistically considering the impact of this Canada is probably going to have to acquiesce at least temporarily.
Trump is applying cold, calculating business logic to this; Canada needs to do business with the US to a large degree, if that becomes costly their (relatively) small economy becomes less viable without reform which they don’t have time to implement.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m 100% behind Canada in fighting this but realistically it’s not a fight they’re going to win.
