Time to celebrate: Tutanota is now Tuta.
tuta.com
Welcome to Tuta! 😍

Have a look at their blog post but then please also look at this. What do you think?

EDIT: If libreddit says “too many requests,” click on alien’s head to go to less readable but probably more accessible original reddit post.

    I’ve been using tuta.io ever since I created an account with them so the change to tuta isn’t entirely new to me. Having said that, it is indeed infuriating that they do not give you the tuta.com email for free automatically, because then anyone who signs up with youremail@tuta.com essentially has a more legit email address than yours. Protonmail gave out the proton.me domain to all users for free, even to free tier users. Hopefully this generates enough noise for them to change this.

      One thing I’m not happy about, when I upgraded, was that to keep the email templates option from my earlier plan, I had to sign up for a much more expensive plan than what I had already. I don’t get bad vibes from Tuta, but I do feel that they are a relatively small company that doesn’t always think things through all the way.

      EDIT: also, despite having upgraded and paid, it won’t let me register an @tuta.com address. 🙁

      EDIT EDIT: Ok, now it did, but it took quite a while before I was able to do it.

      EDIT³: Ok, well, so now I’m paying nearly three times as much as I was before (going from the “Business: Teams” plan to “Business: Unlimited” plan), just so I could keep using their email templates option. Had I paid a bit closer attention, I would not have upgraded just because I thought it would be cool to have a tuta.com address (or is it an alias?), although I’m assuming that they would have eventually switched me over anyway. I keep a very light inbox and so now I seem to be paying for a lot of features that I won’t be using. I’ll be sticking with them because it’s what I’m used to, but I’m not terribly happy with how things ended up as you can probably imagine.

    Everyone thinks the otherwise but personally I like the name Tutanota and quite proud of being part of it. No one can create a @tutanota account anymore and that makes you a senior user if you have one.

      Tutanota is good in any other language other than Spanish (and maybe Portuguese), my native language is Spanish and when I have to tell someone my email address, it sounds weird

        …why? because it sounds like tuna? What am I missing here?

        EDIT: OHHH, the next comment told me.

    I made my account with them early on. I signed up to subscription content to eventually get around to reading, using that address. I signed up for other services, using that address, where access to that address was my only recovery option. I joined IRL community interest groups with that address.

    Then I spent a long time without checking it, and they deactivated the account and I’ve lost all data and messages sent there.

    And lost my discord account, too. Even though I have the correct discord credentials, discord decided to lock me out unless I can confirm I still have that tuta email address.

    I have no problems with the new name but I am very salty about their new subscription models.

    I am a tutanota premium user of the first hour, supported them all the way and now I suddenly should pay much more to get access to something new users can get quite easily. I feel a little bit scammed to be honest.

    Since the changes I am really thinking to switch to other providers, since there are also other minor problems I have and I am just not ready to pay so much for it

    Took a look into their subreddit. Seems users are not happy.

    Paid Revolutionary, feel a bit like a clown https://www.reddit.com/r/tutanota/comments/17tt4kb/paid_revolutionary_feel_a_bit_like_a_clown/

    Anyone else beyond frustrated with tuta.com migration process? Or just me? https://www.reddit.com/r/tutanota/comments/17s7af0/anyone_else_beyond_frustrated_with_tutacom/

    Strange decision to not reserve users names from new domain for long term paying users. Maybe they think this will attract new users to pay for good user names?

    Cool I guess. Doesn’t really affect me because I use a custom domain, but I love the product and have been using tutanota for like 3 years now.
