Hey guys,
I am looking for a new email provider as I am still using gmail and like to get that removed finally. I am currently looking at Tuta and proton. I would be using it mainly for email and the Calendar. most other things I am self hosting but email in particular is not something I like to self host.
Proton being hosted in Switzerland and Tuta being hosted from Germany I think Proton has a edge over Tuta in that regard although I am not very familiar with both country’s privacy laws.
Also how do they compare to each other regarding flexibility in creating email filters and folders. I believe proton hat some restrictions on the amount of email filters if i am not mistaken.
And lastly can you get calendar invites with these email providers? If I like the email provider i might move the business email to one of the providers as well but seeing we get like calendar invites which works fine with outlook. I dont know if this works with the email clients of proton or Tuta.
Also if their is a better email provider i am open to suggestions.
EDIT: Thanks guys! Got many great answers. i think I will get my own domain and try them out both for a while.

Is there any evidence of them being a honeypot? It sounds like that claim was made by someone under trial who might be trying to take the heat off themselves
Not that I know of. If your privacy is important, do you take the chance? I wouldn’t, but it’s up to the individual user to decide. 🤷🏻♂️
Proton is a government honeypot.
Are you gonna take the chance now that there are allegations against proton?
AFAIK, Proton hasn’t been implicated in any criminal trial involving the Deep State. Do you have some information that the rest of us don’t, or did this allegation come to you in a dreamstate?
The epistemic status of that person saying it vs me is not all that different, neither of us have evidence to present
