Tuta Mail

German encrypted email with quantum-resistant algorithms, zero-access architecture, and a generous free tier.

Tuta (formerly Tutanota) is a German encrypted email provider that encrypts the entire mailbox — subject lines, headers, and body — using AES-128 and post-quantum resistant algorithms. Its zero-access architecture means even Tuta cannot read your email. The free tier includes 1 GB of storage and a custom domain on paid plans. Tuta also builds its own encrypted calendar, contacts, and drive integration, making it a full privacy suite out of Europe. Unlike Proton, Tuta encrypts subject lines by default on all plans.

Best for

Privacy-conscious users who want full-mailbox encryption with a generous free tier and EU jurisdiction.
