Tutanota / Mailbox.org? (lemm.ee)

Hi guys!

I'm looking for a Proton alternative. So far I've seen these two recommended. I was wondering what are the pros/cons of each? Seems Tutanota offers more bang for the buck in mailbox size etc, but I'm not sure. I'd also like to have a better integration with Android, because Proton's email/calendar apps suck big time.

Thanks!

~~Mailbox.org offers 2GB of space for their free tier~~, and Tuta is 1GB.

But I would just look at the recommendations on privacyguides.org. They break down what each service does well and what things you should know, like how Mailbox uses PGP and Tuta uses some other (valid) encryption method.

Edit: Could have sworn Privacy Guides said Mailbox had a free tier.

Didn't know Mailbox had a free tier! Gotta check that out.

Edit: Mailbox still doesn't have a free tier. It's just a one month trial.

Damn, thought they did. Could have sworn Privacy Guides said it was free.

For what's worth, I'm going to give it a shot on the month trial. But I already see the middle tier for 3€ offers 10GB email only. I think I can fit my current old mail backup in about 4GB, but it would be slightly tight, I guess. I'm on an older Proton plan which charges about 3USD per month (by-yearly) and it gets me about 20GB. I think shared between cloud and email (I'm not actually interested in the cloud part, I have Seafile for that).
