@hellosilverpatriot Completely agree with you, unfortunately many big techs are making it opt in as the default. 🙈

@[email protected] Thanks for choosing Tuta! Welcome to the encrypted side. 😉

@[email protected] Happy to hear that. 🔒

@[email protected] And the courts have always stopped them here in Germany.

Data retention is a complex issue, while Germany has some laws on this, email is explicitly exempt due to its nature of offering private communication.

We’re monitoring the development and keep fighting for your right to privacy!

@[email protected] We explain all of this here: The key is encrypted with your password so that only you have access. We use a quantum-safe hybrid encryption protocol that works similarly to PGP, but not with the same algorithms.

And no, it’s not the same as TLS, it’s end-to-end encryption with only sender & recipient having access.

@[email protected] Thanks for your feedback, will pass it on!

@[email protected] Sure, thanks for the notice!

@[email protected] @[email protected] Correct, email addresses need to be available for emails to be delivered. However, we encrypt all data of your contacts, also the email addresses.

@[email protected] Haven’t looked at the numbers recently, but in the past ~96% internal & ~4% external.

@[email protected] Thanks for sharing this ❤️

@[email protected] Hi! No you can edit your signature, but for now this is limited to one signature that’s editable. (We don’t yet support multiple signatures)

@[email protected] Hi! For now we only support one email signature that is editable :)

@[email protected] Das freut uns! 😍

@[email protected] Thanks for your feedback, we plan to improve on this!

@[email protected] Hi, tough question. Nobody really likes change. Especially when it is something that breaks long-standing habits. But in the end, there are two ways: either people are forced to change or they start the change themselves. To answer your question: you can only show cases when it was too late and costed dearly to companies and try to convince people to take preventive actions.

@mok0 @flamingos Thanks for recommending us! We have no plans to leave Mastodon :)

@[email protected] Thanks! Will do

@[email protected] Hi there! you can find it at the end of this:

@[email protected] This is not planned right now. No one could proof that the open sourced code would actually be running when you access Tuta… Nevertheless, we plan to enable you to self-host Tuta Mail, and for this, open sourcing the server code will make sense. This will be a small server, which can run locally.

Note, all the encryption takes place locally on your device (end-to-end encryption) so our servers don’t see your encrypted emails and can’t read your data.

@[email protected] We haven’t seen the order so it’s hard to say. However, what we can say is that German data protection legislation is pretty strict and could very well be in conflict with the UK order, which would have helped us. In any case, we will never undermine the end-to-end encryption offered in Tuta, and this is proven by our open source code.
