  • Tutanota makes encryption easy

    Tuta is an email service with a strong focus on security and privacy that lets you encrypt emails, contacts and calendar entries on all your devices.

  • https://tutanota.com takes this a step farther, one flaw with protonmail is that you can still download emails with an external mail client that likely does not encrypt. Tuta blocks this. They are fully open source and have better documentation on how their encryption works. Still, there are pitfalls like the "click here to read email", them receiving plaintext emails from most users, etc.So email encryption is pretty much a no go because most people don't use proton/tuta, your emails will be in plaintext for people to snoop in on if they want. Because of this, is it *really* worth the hassle?
