Hope this is okay to post here. I thought it might be helpful to some of the folks here.
Do they offer cloud storage now? From what I can see on their web site, it’s 500GB…just for email. I mean sure, that’s cool, but it would take me several lifetimes to accumulate 500GB of email so it’s not much of a selling point to me.
It’s a good email service, anyway. I’ve been using the free tier for a few years. Similar to Proton, and in theory Tuta is more private because they encrypt the headers as well as the message body.
I use their paid tier mostly for custom domains. Tuta gives me 3 custom domains and Proton only offers 1 on their respective base paid plans, so Tuta gets my business.
I don’t think the encryption difference matters all that much, what matters to me is:
- FOSS clients
- custom domains (so I can easily switch providers or self-host); I need at least two
- local decryption
Tuta provides those, Proton doesn’t, and I don’t need the extra features Proton provides, so Tuta gets my money. I just wish Tuta had a few minor more features, like:
- labels - allegedly in development
- better calendar sharing - I’d love to sync NextCloud and Tuta calendar automatically
- reply as Gmail/etc - makes it much easier to switch from other providers, probably nothing they can do though
- features to make it easier to leave - auto forwards and whatnot
It meets my needs though.
The thumbnail cuts off the 6 so it just looks like 2% off.
That might be an issue with how your client is rendering it. In app via Thunder I’m not having that problem, but it’s good for people to know it says 62%!
I’m using Jerboa on Android.
Just thought it was funny and took a moment to realize the post wasn’t sarcastic.
same on Voyager (in post view)
Same on boost
Same on the official lemmy web UI.
Makes me feel like a sucker for buying earlier… Not great
I wonder if they would prorate? I ended up choosing proton as a better fit for my needs (since I needed VPN anyway, and I am a total beginner). They are also running a deal and I ended up upgrading and getting a prorated discount and a credit on the account. The folks at tuta seem pretty down to earth and interested in building a good name.
If they do end up giving you a refund/credit/upgrade, let us know!
Haven’t used the thing in a while, is there still no bridge?
There is no bridge
And probably won’t be one. If you want it, use Proton.
Ouchie, thanks!
I just cancelled my premium tuta account because they wouldn’t stop trying to upsell and now I have to look at their ads here!?
A hosted services ad on c/selfhosted, maybe not the right thing, but I’ll defer to others.
I mean isn’t self hosted email typically not recommended but nothing wrong with more private and connected to your own domain :)
Storage I fully agree tho
Possible issues with and solutions for selfhosting email is still infinitely more suitable for this community than advertisements for one of the many pay-to-use email providers. That does not mean this particular one is bad, this just isn’t the place for it.
