Can’t say I’m really fond of either name, to be honest.

I really wanna support these folks but I'm also curious about the recent headlines with Cameron Ortis (Canada's own selfish version of Snowden who deserves a damn Peace Prize for reals) referencing these.
Also, I think people need to learn there is nothing "private" about email beyond not scanning which is like paying for a not-service (like don't fuck me over). Hell, its hard enough to work up the courage and stamina to vanishing-messages-set someone adversarial who desperately needs you to make and ebforce that decision upon them as a baseline for engaging with them at all.
I will pay $1/month for email company to not be an asshole but that's the extent of my patience with the notion and I have zero illusions about what is likely still happening on some level.
Edit: Snowden deserves reward, not Ortis.
Edit: whats the timeline/continuity in terms of Ortis' mention and Tutanota rebranding to Tuta
Proton is doing privacy the right way.
Proton lost me when I found out you can't receive notifications from their app on a de-googled phone. Their app requires Google services for notifications. Since then I've moved to Tuta and am very happy with the service and notifications work. I mean how hard is it to set up a new email check every half hour in the app. What's the point of private email when you have to run it on a spyware (Google) infested phone.
Tuta means puppy in Filipino.
Tuta was the name of Borat's daughter who was lusted over by Rudi Four Seasons Landscaping.
It means honk in Swedish 😄
I hope it’ll gain traction as I’m having trouble dictating my Live.com email.
Yeah fuck these people you can't even open a free account anymore what a joke
At the bottom of the paid features, there's still a free option. Don't go spreading misinformation now...
Have you tried it? I did last week. Your account is automatically locked for 72 hours for "manual review".
After that it still doesn't work you need to send an approval request explaining why do you want the free email address.
I repeat, fuck these people.
Maybe you're using a VPN and that IP address assigned to you is blacklisted by Tuta. I've seen this issue to some newly-registered users since 2021.
None of that.
Considering it has been my main email account for just under three years now, no, not one bit. (@tuta.io)
I have never once had an issue with them. I made a mistake and they helped me fix it within 48 hours. So there's clearly something you're omitting that is preventing you from keeping an account open with them.
Ah yes that's the only possible reason right? Or maybe...idk might sound crazy but maybe They changed their policies for new accounts??
How about thinking before calling somebody a liar?
Didn't call you a liar. I said don't spread misinformation. There is still a free teir, whether you are able to use it or not is another story.
And yes, that actually does sound crazy. Especially like I said, I've been using them for several years and they've always have been responsive to me.
Plus your clear aggression is telling me that you're clearly expecting me to rise to your anger, fuel it, and spin it back. Makes it harder to believe someone when they can't have an informed discussion without blowing up and raging hard at them when I am not trying to get a rise out of you.
