Wow, thanks for mentioning this, I’m seriously looking at moving away from gmail, and Tuta was my frontrunner. Sad that they aren’t more upfront about this…
I see Proton is kind of the same to some extent, but then they have a local bridge application which translates their protocol to IMAP/SMTP. Does anyone have experience with that?
I’ve been using Proton Bridge for over a year and it works really well - lets me use Thunderbird and my phone’s native mail app wihout issues, just remember to keep the bridge app running on your computer.
Thanks for the heads-up about the Swiss laws. I currently use kolabnow which is Swiss, but I don’t know if I hate the changes enough to go through the hassle of the switch.
Don’t use proton if you want to use the normal protocols. I made the error and have just finished getting away a few months ago my recommendation is mailbox.org, really happy with that one.

I don’t know about that but swiss privacy law is about to get so terrible that I wouldn’t switch to it unless they rebase.
Every mail service has a drawback
Posteo can’t do custom domains
Mailbox.org has non-anonymous registration + tracking
Proton is based in Switzerland with horrible incoming privacy laws
Nubo is a startup and unproven security-wise
Tuta doesn’t allow 3rd party clients
Startmail has no calendar
Unless i’m mistaken Proton has just announced they will be leaving Switzerland for Germany.
