Tuta cancelled my free account because their automated system detected fraud. This occurred after 24 hours of updating my contacts within Tuta and signing up for some services. I appealed and they only apologized for the inconvenience but kept the account closed.
Other people have posted similar stories but after a YEAR of use their email randomly because inaccessible. So Tuta isn’t a viable alternative for me as a Proton user.
Damn, second negative response. I guess I am leaving them but I just do t want proton - they give me the ick of wannabe big tech.
I just want a drive, calendar and email that is private.
Posteo seems like the only good option there… Sadly they don’t allow custom domains because of some hand-wavy “privacy” crap that boils down mostly to vendor lock-in like tuta.
There is a new belgian co-op company Nubo trying to break into the market, but they are tiny and running a nextcloud instance on-prem for storage. Performance is likely to not be great.
I’ve been using Startmail for a while now. I’m not sure if it has a drive function because I never looked for that, but it does let you create an unlimited number of semipermanent and temporary ‘alias’ email addresses, and you can use a custom domain, if you set one up
