This offers no features over the embedded calendar in the mail app. Not even widgets.
they said it had widgets in the announcement blot
Ah just in time for me to unsubscribe because they’ve started putting ads in my premium account!
Ouch
Didn’t know disroot had a Lemmy instance, that’s nice
I don’t see any ads
You probably don’t have a premium account; you have the whatever they call the new premium accounts. The premium accounts are legacy and don’t get new features, so you just have those features and don’t get advertised them.
There are also the thinly veiled ‘news’ emails that show up with special CSS flair in your inbox- but it’s not news, it just them trying to upsell you stuff and get you hyped about [Latest Product].
I have seen the tuta news… That really did annoy me, I emailed them every time I get one of them asking them not to do it anymore. It should just be a regular email. Not some special fake email.
What’s the skinny on tuta v proton?
IMO they’re both good options. Afaik, Tuta has an open source backend, unlike Proton. However, Proton has had great recent independent security audits, and court orders against them have shown how little information they keep.
Proton offers more features and services, which also makes it a bit more expensive. I’ve used and like both, but right now I have a Proton Unlimited subscription because I like their drive, vpn, and password manager.
It connects to proprietary services which makes it not an option. The same situation for Tuta Mail. We can talk after they publish their server source code. Proton is also not an option for the same reasons.
What is an option then?
Any email service that works with K-9/Thunderbird and OpenKeychain.

make your own: get a domain (15$ probably less for a year), get 2x tiny servers (around 10-15$ each) and deploy MX and IMAP services on your favorite OS. Takes a while to set it up but it’s pretty awesome :3
Only one calendar on free tier? Thanks, but I’ll just stick to the local one.
Its a similar problem with Proton for me. Proton doesn’t even let you sync to 3rd party cal app on the free tier.
If you’re going to paywall basic functionality, that just prevents me from trying it for a while and eventually become so tied to it, it’s difficult to break free. Google had the right plan from the get-go.
