Tuta is a end-to-end-encryption mail and calendar provider. They recently wrote a good blog-post about changing to european services.
I really dislike Tuta for their refusal to support SMTP/IMAP and PGP, let alone CalDAV or CardDAV. Posteo’s approach is way better.
Posteo has no custom domain support, deal breaker for me. As far as I understand they don’t support IMAP in order to keep their encryption working, and I believe others like Proton do the same thing. Since their webapp is good and they even have an official client on Fdroid, I don’t think it’s a big deal
SMTP/IMAP
Is this not a deal breaker for, like, everyone?
Web apps.
For reference I work for a competing mail provider and the majority of our users don’t use SMTP or IMAP, instead exclusively using the web app.
Personally never had to use either protocol, what’s your use case? - genuinely curios.
Using Thunderbird as opposed to tuta’s quite barebones client:
- delayed messaging
- message scheduling
- local backup of mails
- no email import
- desktop app failures (happens quite often to me that I just can’t log in)
Not to mention other external QoL functionalities like a home assistant tablet being able to display a family calendar and being able to automate based off of events
Tuta’s discount is tempting, but I’ve also seen StartMail doing 50% off lately. Definitely feels like a good time to test a couple out, especially if you care more about UX than just encryption.
Sadly, no calendar on startmail which is a non-starter for getting my family on it.
Seems to be nothing really with mail + calendar + encryption + IMAP from a smaller company.
Not sure if it’s encrypted,b but mailbox.org has email + calendar + I can add it to K-9 and Geary (so I think it does support IMAP?)?
Nice! I am thinking either mailbox.org or posteo. They have IMAP. They support pgp indeed it seems. One of those might be a winner!
How do you use email without SMTP/IMAP?

That’s ridiculous!
