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!

Oh lol.

tuta will try to upsell you

"upsell" refers to a sales tactic, where a salesperson keeps trying to convince you to buy something more than you might need. Basically, you want to buy a $200 TV, and the sales person tells you: "Hey this $700 TV is much better, it has 8K High Definition, Premium Speakers... etc, etc..."

And then you say: "No thanks, I just want the $200 TV 😅"

But they keep repeating the $700 tv over and over and it gets annoying. That's what the user is claiming that Tuta is doing.
