Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I'm considering switching. Would you mind sharing what bothers you?
I've been using Tuta since 2018 so I'll give you some of my gripes:
Edit 1: fixed typo
Do they not let you use your own domain name? I wouldn't use an email provider that forces you to use their domain... It makes it a pain if you ever want to switch provider.
They let you use your own domain now. But I've been using this provider since 2018. The article I linked to was written in 2022 so 4 years later. I was already established so I'll have to go through a lot of services to change it. But if I change everything to my domain then what is preventing that domain from getting flagged? I don't know enough about spam filters.
You likely won't ever be sending spam, phishing emails, viruses, etc from your own domain, so it has no reason to get flagged.
It's worth the pain to switch to your own domain, since you'll likely never have to change your email address again. I've used several different email providers over the years, but if you email me at an email address I used 20 years ago, it'll still get to me today.
Clever, thank you!
Thank you. That was helpful.
I'm not the person you were asking, but I recently tried tried Tuta with my own domain and decided to look elsewhere due to a few things;
For routine/non-sensitive email, they feel like too much hassle for the average punter in my opinion. And if I put on my industry hat; their frequent downtime is a huge red flag, and a sign that they either don't know what they're doing or don't have enough cash to operate properly.
Having said that, I still think they're the best current option if privacy/encryption is your only concern - to the best of my knowledge no one else takes that quite as seriously as they do.
Thank. That was very thorough.
Others have already mentioned most of what bothers me about Tuta. It's not there yet for user experience, and I hate that their spam filter cannot be configured; Tuta just guesses if an email is spam or not.
