Tuta is a end-to-end-encryption mail and calendar provider. They recently wrote a good blog-post about changing to european services.

SMTP/IMAP

Is this not a deal breaker for, like, everyone?

Personally never had to use either protocol, what's your use case? - genuinely curios.

Using Thunderbird as opposed to tuta's quite barebones client:

  • delayed messaging
  • message scheduling
  • local backup of mails
  • no email import
  • desktop app failures (happens quite often to me that I just can't log in)

Not to mention other external QoL functionalities like a home assistant tablet being able to display a family calendar and being able to automate based off of events

Defo some good points here that I had not thought of, am too used to using webclients. Though Tuta does have an mail import feature.
