I’ve been looking to switch from gmail to a different email provider that’s more private. I’ve been hearing about Tuta, are there any drawbacks to it? Are there better options?

For a while I was planning on making the switch to protonmail but that’s off the table now due to the recent events surrounding them.

    I don’t know if tuta and posteo have some special privacy features, but if you’re just looking for a non-gmail provider I’ve been very happy with fastmail. It’s an Australian provider with a good track record afaik.

    Would also highly recommend getting your own domain if you can, so your address doesn’t belong to whichever provider you choose.

      I’m in the US. I wonder if there’s any drawback to using an Australian provider. Like, will it get flagged or something?

        If it’s Australian, don’t expect strong privacy. But then again, I wouldn’t expect that from a US based email provider either.
