Hi all, a couple of years back I moved to Proton on a 2 year plan. Then the CEO started spouting Trump stuff. I cancelled at the time but the subscription is only now up for renewal.

I have moved everything across to Tuta recently, but I don’t like it, so I’m looking for further suggestions.

Why didn’t Tuta work for me?

  • No function to auto-forward emails to another email address.
  • No bridge or IMAP so I can’t connect to Paperless
  • Mobile app is janky - when I swipe to archive, it sort of sits there for a while as it talks to the server. And just generally it feels slow like it’s waiting for the server for every action instead of backgrounding the requests.
  • Web app is weird. It doesn’t even have an archive button, I have to use “Move -> Archive” making it slow to go through my inbox.
  • Importing emails is only available on their most expensive plan. Weird to not want people to move to your platform? (it also couldn’t handle 15000 emails, I had to load them 1000 at a time)

Things I want:

  • Must support custom domain
  • Must support catchall
  • Must support forwarding an email to another email address based on the “to” address
  • Must not be run by dicks (e.g. Trump supporting CEO or Proton, union busting like Fastmail, and no big tech) - as close as possible at least
  • Should have some method to connect to my self-hosted Paperless NGX (e.g. Proton’s bridge, or just IMAP)
  • Should have emails encrypted from provider if possible - not sure if anyone other than Proton or Tuta do this.
  • Should support GPG
  • Should allow importing email history from previous provider
  • Should have a nice web/mobile app or allow IMAP. Bonus points if I don’t have to use the Play store.

Honestly I’d put up with the janky app if Tuta had the functions I want, I mostly just want my money going to some provider that aren’t dicks, but having the provider not be able to read my emails would be a bonus.

Anyone got suggestions for me?

    Thanks for the suggestion! I feel like I’m gonna have to sign up to everything to see if they support forwarding emails to another address as no one seems to list it in their features 🥲

        Nah what I need is for specific addresses on my custom domain to be forwarded. E.g. my wife uses big tech email but has used addresses on my domain at times, and these need to be forwarded to her if used.

        It’s a different use case than relay email, which is also something I heavily use.
