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.

Get that shit off my eyeballs, I paid for this product.

You should try Proton, then /s

Proton constantly tries to push you to upgrade to their next plaid plan too. So much so that this coupled with still zero fucking support for Proton Drive under Linux are the two reasons I have cancelled my paid Proton plan... and I had been paying for years.

Yeah, I know! Don't say that too loud, though. Proton and Tuta are the precious baby boys who can do no wrong in most "privacy" communities.

Those two services have strengths but they also have some drawbacks, that are more or less painful depending one's needs. If there are people out there who feel so empty that they can't stand any critics concerning a product they think is great, well, what can I say? I'm so sorry for them.
