What exactly do you mean this? That they encrypt subject lines only between Tuta accounts, or also when you send and receive mail from non-Tuta email providers?
Also, very curious about this. When you say Proton, do you mean Proton’s actual domains (protonmail.com / ch / pm.me, etc…) or are you referring to Proton Pass and Simple Login’s aliases?
Agree with a lot of this. I don’t just want labels, but also star. The ability to star emails is an important feature.
Why is Proton discouraging using from using Bridge?
I use both, but ever since they released their desktop app, I use that mostly.
That said, I think it’s important that if someone has multiple email providers, that they be able to manage all of their emails from a single client. Hence why Proton should continue and improve email client support, not just on desktop but also for mobile.
The Problem with Proton Bridge
My issue with Bridge is related to my issue with Proton’s UI, and it’s that Proton doesn’t have a good system to manage multiple emails. I wish they had copied Skiff Mail’s system, so that when you create more addresses, they automatically have their own inbox and filter.
On Proton, you have to manually create your additional inboxes by creating filters and folders. Moreover, if you also use a Mail client, you won’t instantly know when you receive new emails to your secondary addresses, because you have to look in the folder. Plus you can’t reply with your secondary addresses from Bridge either. Not unless you choose to split your addresses.
Split Address Mode vs Combine Address Mode: Both Have Problems
I tried splitting address mode, so that all my Proton addresses have their own inbox in Thunderbird, but the problem with that is that all your folders get duplicated in each inbox. So if you have a folder that is just for Proton Address 1, it will appear for all your Proton addresses on Thunderbird.
So both split mode and combined mode have issues. Proton needs to fix that. They need to make is so that by default, each Proton address has its own inbox filter. Just like Skiff did.
Personally, I think that Proton should create their own mail client that supports not only Proton, but all other email providers. That’s probably too much to ask, though, and shouldn’t be a priority.
Tuta > Proton for Anonymous Payments
The fact that Tuta indirectly allows anonymous payments via gift cards is a big deal to me. It’s why I’m considering trying it. Proton has no excuse. They don’t have to accept Monero.
But they can sell gift cards on the Proxy Store, which accepts Monero, but also straight up cash! Simple Login in already on the Proxy Store, so there’s literally no excuse!
I personally think that all the privacy services should have anonymous payments via gift cards as an option. If Standard Notes, Notesnook, etc…were on the Proxy Store, it would be amazing!
