Gmail once promised that it will become end-to-end encrypted by default. Unfortunately, this is not going to happen. While it is possible to encrypt certain emails in Gmail with PGP, Google can still read all email meta-data such as email addresses and subject lines. Better use a Gmail alternative that encrypts your entire mailbox and contacts automatically.

We are happy to announce that Tutanota relies entirely on green electricity for your encrypted emails. You can now use your Tutanota mailbox, knowing that all your emails are secure and green!

For many the Internet is Google: Search, email, videos - Google is the major player in all these fields. But Google uses all data it gathers across its services to post targeted ads, and to massively profit from the data many share so freely with the Internet giant. The time has come to stop this unlimited data mining and to take back our right to privacy! Here's a quick guide how you can use the Internet without sharing all your data with Google.

We are happy to let you know that we have updated Tutanota: Your encrypted mailbox now comes with unread email counters per folder, you can use Tutanota in many more languages such as Arabic, Latvian, and Persian, and you can now check the version of Tutanota that you are using under Settings. Read the full post to see what features we have added and what is to come next.

All Tutanota apps are Libre software because we want to provide a true open source alternative to Gmail, Yahoo, GMX and others. To us this includes publishing our Android app on F-Droid, which we have now achieved! Unlike other secure email services, Tutanota does not use closed third party code - whether from Google or others - because we must be in full control of the open source code to offer you maximum security and privacy. Our focus on open source combined with our deep respect for your right to privacy, makes Tutanota the best secure email service, now with an app on F-Droid.
