Tutanota is pretty good too, as secure as protonmail and comes with 1Gb of storage.

A lot of good tips on this comment section about internet security i didn't knew about ,thanks . Like Tutanota for example , but is this indeed so safe ?

One of the first things i saw searching for Tutanota was this article 👇

You have to translate it because it's a Dutch one , i'm from Belgium .

Wat is your opinion on this ?

That's not great, protonmail may be a better choice then, tutanota is apparently appealing the decision, couldn't find an update re. this issue though.

The thing that worries me is the fact that during the time length of appeal Tutanota said they are going to ad a function that makes it possible for the authorities to see all inbox and outbox messages ! If the judge rules in favour of Tutanota at the end of appeal , Tutanota will then again remove the function they build in their App . But untill then all messages are in plain sight for the authorities to see ! My opinion on this is that such of an App is safe untill a judge says otherwise . I mean , what is the perpose of using an App to shield yourself from a Government if that same Government can lift up the ' end to end encryption' simply by going to court ? The thing is that maybe Tutanota is registered in Germany and that their servers are also there !

I know that Protonmail is registered in Switzerland and that their servers are also in Swiss , simply because of the fact that Switzerland has got very strict privacy policies , so i think that Protonmail is indeed a much safer choice , like you suggested . That's also the reason that many websiteservers and registrations are in other countries .
