Hey guys,

I am looking for a new email provider as I am still using gmail and like to get that removed finally. I am currently looking at Tuta and proton. I would be using it mainly for email and the Calendar. most other things I am self hosting but email in particular is not something I like to self host.

Proton being hosted in Switzerland and Tuta being hosted from Germany I think Proton has a edge over Tuta in that regard although I am not very familiar with both country’s privacy laws.

Also how do they compare to each other regarding flexibility in creating email filters and folders. I believe proton hat some restrictions on the amount of email filters if i am not mistaken.

And lastly can you get calendar invites with these email providers? If I like the email provider i might move the business email to one of the providers as well but seeing we get like calendar invites which works fine with outlook. I dont know if this works with the email clients of proton or Tuta.

Also if their is a better email provider i am open to suggestions.

EDIT: Thanks guys! Got many great answers. i think I will get my own domain and try them out both for a while.

    I think they are both fine,

    I like that tuta is doing just one thing, ( ignoring the new storage feature ), and trying it’s best at it.

    Proton is going to more of a google approach, however the nonprofit goal they just set is pretty awesome.

    I got the tuta’s, now non-existent, premium plan, and am using simplelogin relays to protect it. No plan in changing the setup.

    Nowadays proton owns simplelogin and I think it offers it’s services to customers, a couple bucks cheaper than my impossible setup, so protonmail it’s probably the best option nowadays.
