Tuta is just horrible, often rejecting account creation altogether. AtomicMail.io is a nice free alternative to Proton.


What's nice about AtomicMail.io? I just tested it with https://www.emailprivacytester.com and it leaked my IP and when I read the email. And I can't even find an option to turn off remote content loading, which has been a standard feature of email and webmail clients for privacy reasons for decades, and should be turned to off by default.


Thanks for your perspective. I've been using tuta since a year now. Nothing to report


Tuta is pathetic because it asked for my real name, ID verification, and real phone number, altogether defeating the point of anonymity. When I refused to provide identification, it disabled and deleted the new registration. This makes it as bad as Discord.

Perhaps you have a grandfathered account, but times have changed for the worse with Tuta alone.


Han. My only grippe was having to install a app. None of the rest.
