We're here to stop surveillance by corporations like Google. That's why we replaced Google’s FCM with our own notification system. Read on to learn why this is important.
I can’t, but not just because of being the best, but because to me there’s no suitable solution for email services, unless self hosted. See, if interchanging emails with someone out of those services the emails are by definition non private.
On this particular topic, of not using google push notifications, any email client not doing so will do, like K9. And I was commenting just on that, not the whole privacy discussion, which is really a hard topic when talking about email.
An interesting solution would be one where you can set multiple email servers, on computers and phones (so they have to be somehow light enough), the servers synchronize between all of them when available (the solution should consider some devices being down, but at least one running at least at any given time), and the client being attached to the local device server only. Of course, support for GPG encryption on the client side is a must. Such a solution perhaps might be an interesting box… But as with self hosting servers, security is hard, and having email servers is no exception, having to take into consideration additional solutions (firewalls, containerization, isolation, etc) to prevent attacks… As soon as one has to trust a service provider, then it’s hard to say your emails are private, cause the percentage of encrypted email will hardly ever get close to 100%… And for just a limited amount of people you really care, perhaps any service (again, not the big corps) would do, as well as any client, as long as the client and those you care encrypt through GPG…
Encrypted Emails between tutanota is enabled by default, so theoretically just having everyone on the tutanota platform would make it easier. Not that that’s likely.
