  • Thanks I really appreciate elaborated comments about both. I think I’m going to skip the Tuta encryption for now. While it has a way of keeping it encrypted for the destination, it involves the final user having to click some links in order to open the encrypted mail. I mean…I think most of the people I’d write to would hate having to do extra steps just to see an email I wrote. So I guess I’d have to stick to unencripted, and then the advantage is kinda lost. I’d like a fully encrypted mailbox, yeah, but not at the cost of making it incompatible with any other app or email standards. I guess I didn’t have a great experience with Proton apps for Android.

    Don’t take me wrong, I’d love to have a fully encrypted mailbox, but not by making it all cumbersome.




  • Sigh…right. But people DO need email. For banks. For taxes. For governments, healthcare, and lots of other crap.

    So yeah, I’m skipping the whole “encrypted mailbox no-knowledge”, since it’s both cumbersome and useless unless anyone around you ALSO uses it (otherwise, those super private emails can be way more easily intercepted during transit than in your inbox anyway).

    I just want some attempt at privacy from some EU nation while keeping some decent interoperability.
