Tutanota is a free secure email service that just launched an encrypted calendar. With Tutanota we are building the secure alternative to Google with a free mailbox, address book, calendar - all encrypted by default.

@wolfy1x We're already working on updating the apps as well. Should be released on Google Play by now.

I've been using them for about two years. They are okay for basic private email functionality. They are absolutely not a replacement for gmail, neither from a technology perspective nor a UX Design perspective.
There are a ton of things that are problematic:
- Email inbox frequently doesn't load and you have to go to the address bar to remove characters from the address for it to work
- Searching for an email requires you to "build an index" first. Every time you try to do a search, it spits out a warning saying you need to build an index first. In other words, you can't search for emails.
- Really hard to mange multiple accounts
- They recently did a UI refresh that just demonstrated their lack of understanding for what good design is. They just added some new fonts and a slightly nicer color scheme over the same interaction design problems and made some issues far worse.
- Poor product priorities: launching a calendar feature before fixing issues on the core product that literally break your experience
- The service is also just super slow. Opening a folder can take upwards of 10 seconds.
Overall, when I use this, I get the impression that this team is small and never expected this product to grow the way it has, and now they are scrambling to get it right, without success

@jamalnichols2 Thanks for your feedback, and thanks for staying with Tutanota for such a long time.
- Please make sure to use the corect login address to access Tutanota - there's no need to 'remove characters': https://mail.tutanota.com
- All data in Tutanota is encrypted to protect your privacy. To search your emails, you must do this locally. We were one of the first encrypted services to implement performant search on encrypted data, also on mobile devices. Here are details: https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/...
- We plan to add multi-user support to the beta desktop clients.
- The calendar was one of the highest voted for features by our users, prioritizing this feature in addition to adding features to the email client is mostly received very well by our users.
We expect to grow much faster in the coming years, as user base and our team are growing constantly. This will also speed up development, no worries. 😃

@matthiaspfau Did you just really give me instruction to use the correct URL. That's insulting that you'd think I'm that foolish. Your email client frequently can't access emails unless you go to www.tutanota.com and log back in. It's a known issue that other people in this comments section have highlighted as well. Your UI is just frustrating, I've reached out in the past to offer help but you never responded. The service is also just super slow. Opening a folder can take upwards of 10 seconds.
