How reliable is tuta mail

I have been with tuta for a few months on the free email account to test it and have been pleased with how it has worked so far. Now considering making it my main email address and possibly taking out a paid subscription.

However I have concerns.

Just reading this subreddit there are many posts stating that users have lost access/had difficulty accessing accounts and on another site some even saying accounts have been deleted.

So what is the true, and how reliable is tutamail?

I'm sorry, guys, but tuta's antispam is just the worst

Tuta keeps putting 100% legit emails from Indeed, Google, LinkedIn, Vercel, Battlenet, and many other services in the spam folder. Guys? Seriously? It's basically my inbox at this point.

I keep clicking "Not spam" every day and reporting phishing. It's useless.

Besides this, obvious spam with radiating scam energy and ultra sketchy domains lands in the inbox 🙃

Do something or give us an option to turn it off.

Yes, I know this is a bit of a rant and it's not going to change anything, but I'm just fed up, and at least it's a way to vent

custom domain

I have never had a custom domain before but it looks simple enough to use on with tuta, any recommendations on who to get the custom domain from? If I get a custom domain that means I can take my custom email address to whatever email provider I want at anytime correct?

Timezones in calendar

Hey Tuta, does your calendar support presenting events in a specific timezone? It looks like I can create an event using different timezone, but the main calendar view is pulling the timezone from the web browser. Is there a way to use a different one that whatever web browser reports?

For example, in many web browsers when figerprinting prevention is enabled an entire calendar defaults to UTC (browser default) which is useless and you as privacy first company should be aware of that. Also, when traveling I'd like to see my events in the local timezone without changing my system/browser configuration. There is also nothing in calendar settings, you can't even set your default timezone for events...

I was thinking about switching to Tuta but without such simple functionality an entire Tuta service is useless to me.

Priority email support

Can anyone tell me how long it takes to get a reply from support on the Legend plan? It says you get priority email support with a reply in a day but that isn't true. Edit: Issue resolved

My degoogling and privacy journey so far

I just wanted to share my current replacements in the degoogling journey to the corporate services, closed-source software that I have already replaced with open-source and privacy-focused alternatives.

Let me know if you have some suggestions :)

My future goals in the degoogling journey are:

- Replace OEM Android by GrapheneOS;

- Replace Steam by GOG;

- Replace MacBook by Linux laptop and stop using macOS;

- Replace WhatsApp with the other alternatives.

Worth switching to tuta.com to avoid ending up in spam folders?

I've got a tutanota.com email address from before the 2023 introduction of tuta.com and I recently heard from someone using yahoo.com (fortunately not a common address these days) that my tutanota email ended up in their spam folder. My job involves a lot of "cold calling" where I'm emailing a variety of addresses often run on publications' custom domain names, so I'm now quite worried that I have emails ending up in spam folders with no way of knowing if that's the case. I've read that sometimes sending the emails from the phone app causes more spam-flagging, but I'm sending most of my email from the desktop app on Linux.

I'm wondering whether it's worth the hassle of upgrading and then changing my email address to tuta.com ? Or whether it's unlikely my emails are actually getting dumped in spam that often?

EDIT: I work as a freelance journalist not a professional spammer, so you guys can take a deep breath

When is Tuta Drive coming?

I can't find a release date for Tuta Drive but I'm desperately waiting for it to finally get rid off Google Drive. So when is it finally coming?

Folders auto-expanding

ME:My folders seem to be auto-expanding causing drag and drop to be useless.

Tuta: "It's a feature, not a bug." (closed)

Me: WTF?

Folder & label organization

It would be nice to be able to sort/organize folders and labels by being able to place them above or below one another in addition to having an option to have them sorted by alphabetical order.

File attachments and storage

I have someone who insists on sending me emails with multiple video attachments which I assume take up storage. The immediate questions are: [1] Is this person taking up my Tuta storage with his videos? [2] is there a way of deleting the video attachment and keeping the message? (that is an option when I was using Thunderbird; [3] When I delete the email have I freed up the storage?

Money back for cancellation

👋 I paid for tuta revolutionary on Aug-10 using credit card and cancelled it the next day, but I haven't received my refund yet. tuta doesn't offer the ability to send a email to their customer service unless you have a paid membership 🙄 . The only alternative I found is to write in reddit and hence writing it here. Can anyone tell if this is normal or do I need to do something to get money back.

iOS app very slow to load?

Hello. I’m pretty new to Tuta, been using about three months. Generally like it, but recently the iOS app became agonizingly slow to load. Every single time I open the app, it takes at least 20-30 seconds to load, sometimes much longer, so long that I’ll just give up waiting and check back later. It comes and goes. I’m on the latest iOS and latest app version. No vpn. Any ideas? Thanks!

Tuta new user impression and problem

I had heard a lot of good things about Tuta, so I thought, "Why not start my de-Googling journey?"

I signed up for a Tuta Mail account and started using it. Two days later, I can no longer log in or even reset my password. I only get the message: "Invalid login credentials."

If my account was blocked by an automated system, I honestly think that's a poor experience for new users. I understand that you have to deal with bots and abuse, but blocking legitimate new users after only a couple of days is frustrating. It would be great if the detection system could better distinguish real users from bots instead of blocking real people.

To be honest, experiences like this make it hard to leave Google. Privacy is important, but reliability is too. If there's a chance of losing access to my account for no apparent reason, it's difficult to trust the service.

My main question is: can you help me recover my account? If my account was flagged by mistake, I'd really appreciate having it restored.

Thank you.
