I’ve been looking to switch from gmail to a different email provider that’s more private. I’ve been hearing about Tuta, are there any drawbacks to it? Are there better options?

For a while I was planning on making the switch to protonmail but that’s off the table now due to the recent events surrounding them.

    In comparison to Gmail? Yes, but that’s a very low bar to clear. You need to be aware that Tuta are currently enshittifying. The product is getting worse and the price increases. It’s slow, but it’s happening. I switched to disroot.org after 2 years of Tuta because I got fed up with it.

    It is in my Scrolls of Grudge, and I quote:

    Ads in web UI for paying user.
    Made it hard to cancel payment.
    Newsletter is just upselling.
    Can’t unsub from newsletter.

      I am a paid user of Tuta and I have never seen any ads. Where did you see them and what kind of ads?

        _drkt provided no proof of Tuta’s enshittification. There are no paid ads for third party products in any Tuta UI. Don’t panic yet. Read all the comments here, maybe.
