I’ve been looking to switch from gmail to a different email provider that’s more private. I’ve been hearing about Tuta, are there any drawbacks to it? Are there better options?
For a while I was planning on making the switch to protonmail but that’s off the table now due to the recent events surrounding them.

Services cost money to run. Either you pay for the product or you are the product.
Make your choice, name your poison. No skin off my nose in any case :)
I mean I self host for 4€/month and I could fit multiple emails in there
Email is pretty much just about storage at some point, and there are a lot more cost effective servers for this, than a simple VPS
Self hosting email is a non trivial effort. I’ve done it before and am in zero rush to do it again.
And before you tell me “Oh hey I’ve had no problems at all with delivery getting blocked by GOOG or MSFT” good on you but that has NOT been a lot of people’s experience trying to self host their E-mail, including mine.
