Most commonly used open source desktop clients for emails are Thunderbird and Evolution. But there is another open source email client ermerging on the horizon, one that is constantly getting better: Tutanota. Let's take a look how it compares to the already established open source email clients like Thunderbird and Evolution, particularly when it comes to secure emails.

When communicating online, your data travels the web making it easy for all kinds of eavesdroppers - whether it being state agencies, malicious attackers, or just nosy people - to see your chat and email messages. End-to-end encryption puts a stop to that. When you use end-to-end encrypted communication tools, no one but the intended recipient can see and read your messages. But why does that matter?

This is Tutanota's transparency report and warrant canary information. While in Germany a gag order is legally not possible, we want to give you peace of mind by publishing a warrant canary.

Oftentimes when governments announce plans to weaken citizens' privacy rights for the sake of 'security', the public outcry is loud and clear: If you weaken security in online services to catch criminals, you weaken the security online for all citizens. However, oftentimes this warning is ignored by governments. But this is not the story we want to share with you today; this one is a different story.

MI6 chief Moore warned in a public speech that the digital attack surface that criminals, terrorists and hostile states seek to exploit against us is growing exponentially due to technology advances in AI and quantum computing. We can fully relate to that because the internet as we know it depends on encryption: confidential communication, financial transactions, critical infrastructure - all of these are at risk if encryption can be broken. We at Tutanota have taken on the challenge to implement quantum-proof encryption before quantum computers become a reality!
