Quick actions have become much easier with our lighter design and its new toolbar.

New design for quick actions and better usability.
We have released a new version of Tutanota, which brings great improvements to all Tutanota clients, not just in terms of design, but also in usability. With this update, we are sticking to our design specifications of having a clear and simple design with a lot of space to focus on the important things: Your encrypted emails.

At Tutanota we focus on doing security right: We are building the most secure email service that lets you secure all your data easily.

We do not want to build the most fancy and colorful email client, but one that lets you focus on your emails and calendars with a nice and open design.

Clear & simple design

Most of our users love our clear and simple design, however, we know it is never possible to satisfy all tastes. Nevertheless, there were a few usability issues with our previous design that needed fixing.

New email toolbar

New email toolbar.

With the most recent design update, we have introduced a new toolbar that lets you perform quick actions in Tutanota:

  • Multiselect
  • Select all

Once you have emails selected, you are able to perform quick actions on all selected emails:

  • Delete
  • Move to selected folder
  • Mark read
  • Mark unread
  • Download

New email toolbar.

We will continue to work on this toolbar to provide even more functionality like filter for unread emails etc.

New contacts toolbar

We have adapted the new toolbar also for contacts to improve your workflow here as well. Once you have selected multiple or all contacts, you can perform quick actions on selected contacts like:

  • Merge
  • Download
  • Delete

New contacts toolbar.

Hidden toolbar on mobile

With this update, we have also hidden the recently introduced toolbar on mobile. Let us know whether you like this improvement as much as we do! 🥳

The list squares are only displayed once the first email has been selected - either with long press or via the button at the top.
