Tuta Mail

Tuta (formerly Tutanota) provides a secure email and calendar service powered by renewable energy. It is open-source and encrypts not just message bodies, but also subject lines and contacts.

About

Maximum Encryption Standards

Tuta takes encryption further than almost any other provider. While competitors typically encrypt the body of emails, Tuta encrypts the entire mailbox, including subject lines and your address book/contacts. This ensures that even the metadata of your communications remains private. They are also pioneering 'Quantum-Safe' cryptography, upgrading their algorithms to withstand potential future attacks from quantum computers. This forward-thinking approach makes Tuta one of the most future-proof secure communication tools available.

Sustainable and Open

Based in Germany, Tuta operates under strict GDPR regulations and hosts its own servers in secure German data centers. A key differentiator is their commitment to sustainability; all their servers and offices are powered by 100% renewable electricity. Transparency is core to their mission: all Tuta client code is open source and published on GitHub, allowing security experts to verify that there are no backdoors. They do not rely on any Google services (like Google Push notification), making the Android app completely Google-free.

Simplicity First

Tuta is designed to be lean and fast. It doesn't offer as many peripheral tools as Proton or Office 365, but focuses on providing a best-in-class email and calendar experience. The encrypted calendar is fully integrated, ensuring your schedule is as private as your messages. The free plan is generous for personal use, while paid plans introduce features like custom domains, catch-all addresses, and white-label customization for businesses.
