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.

I am using Android until I can find an alternative. I've turned off all optimisations I can find. I haven't had the issue in a few weeks, but it did happen once since changing settings. I'm hoping that something random I did (like a phone restart) somehow fixed everything.

You mean you're considering something like PostmarketOS? Just wonder where people are looking for alternatives.

I'm looking everywhere I can. I haven't found any OS that works with my current phone (Nokia G42), and the aren't too many phones that meet my needs (dual Sim, small, headphone jack, repairable, runs open source OS).

I've given up actively searching and I'm mostly browsing Lemmy and hoping to stumble across something useful. Please let me know if you have any more suggestions.
