What is wrong with tuta?

So? 🙂 That does dosen’t mean that they have a bad product. Personally, I don’t like their love for very round corners everywhere. But I use posteo.de because of 1 thing: Tuta do not support IMAP/SMTP

Do you have a source for that?
I have been wondering this too. I am planning to move and am not sure how to get it working with K9 or if they will have their own official app. Perhaps I will decide to just not have email on my phone.
On a similar note, does Proton’s Calendar support the fossify and gnome ones?
That’s a no on Proton calendar working with third party clients. The encryption makes secure syncing difficult, either decrypt it before transit and have it be insecurely sent, or share the decryption key with the third party app so that it can decrypt the data once it is received, which has its own concerns.
Kinda sucks as I do like having notification of meetings, classes, and such.
Yeah 🥲. I used proton calendar for some time but ended up going in on WebDAV nextcloud centric calendaring. It’s been more complicated, but at least it is very open (while still being private enough for me)

Bridge doesn’t support the calendar yet from what I’ve heard.
I believe Proton Pass and Proton VPN are both on F-Droid

Sounds like the same issues as with Signal

Sounds like you’re ready for a different email service 😉

I hear you there. I’m still using their email somewhat, but am transitioning away from it. I do lean on protonvpn as well, haven’t found another trustworthy free service that I can use for those few times a month I need to be on some public WiFi.
What email provider are you moving to?
Tuta is where I’m at for now. They have stricter privacy than proton and are much more active in their app development. They have an Fdroid release for android and a desktop app for Linux which make life pretty nice.
I have had some connectivity issues with their servers lately though, especially on desktop. I don’t know if it’s my DNS setup or if it is unreliability on the server end. In any case it hasnt been too bad.

They seem like a great company, If I ever did move to a paid service I would probably go Mullvad or IVPN, but I just can’t bring myself to sign up for the $5 monthly with how infrequently I need it.

This. Download the apps directly from proton.
It’s probably because Proton changed the repo. I was grabbing their release via Obtainium and noticed the version I had was way older than the version on the Play Store. Had to update my Obtainium entry for ProtonMail to the new repo: https://github.com/ProtonMail/android-mail

You probably need to make a request to Izzy. From what I remember he has requirements, such as max app size, which makes me wonder if maybe the ProtonMail app just became too big for him to build and host.
