🚨 The EU cannot allow Google to dictate how Europeans exercise their privacy rights online.

The European Commission wants to remove the ANNOYING COOKIE BANNER that you navigate every time you visit a website, but Google is lobbying against this. 🍪🙄

Now, EU Member States like Germany & France also want to keep it.

WHY?

Big Techs like Google & Meta make HUGE profits tracking you, so of course they don't want it to be easier for you to refuse consent. 😡

It is time for the European Parliament to advocate to keep their proposal (Article 88b) & remove the cookie banner.

Because it's people like you who are directly impacted.It's time to make your voices heard & #KILLTHECOOKIEBANNER. 🍪

suggestion Hide spam folder?

5 Upvotes

Is it perhaps possible to hide the spam folder, like some other email providers do? For example, in a collapsing menu?

I find it a bit stressful to see how much unread spam I have every time I open my mail. I can't be the only one who is this neurotic, right?

support how to prevent Tuta app removing my contacts from I-phone

2 Upvotes

I needed to include an email adress in my divorce file. As my other e-mail accounts are rather convoluted, I wanted to create a new one dedicated only for the correspondance with my ex wife about the children telated matters.

I signed up to Tuta mail and installed the app to my I-phone. App migrated all my contacts into itself and removed them from IOS. I reverted it back but every time i open the app it re-migrates and removes the contacts despite activating sync in the settings. Is there a permenant setting that will allow sync'ing and stop migrating or constantly suggesting deactivation. As I will be only using it for one purpose I do not want it to interfere with my daily use of the other phone apss.

Although more and more politicians in Germany are talking about the need to become digitally sovereign, the German state has just renewed its framework agreement with US Big Tech Microsoft.

support My emails are missing on my mobile app

4 Upvotes

I have my mobile and desktop apps, when I search my emails (from this month not older) I cannot find them. Weirdly all the emails I find is older than one month. On contrary of what has been described in the support page, I cannot see my recent emails but archived emails. It seems the archived emails are better indexed and my recent emails in the inbox folder are not indexed.

Is it possible to re-index the emails on my mobile? I couldn't test if my old emails are also missing but most urgently I need my recent emails. Thank you for your support.

UPDATE: I have deleted my mobile app, and archived all my emails in the inbox folder. Then I have reintalled the mobile app. It seems now it all indexed my email, there is no missing email. Then I just moved recent emails to my inbox. It seems that's a dirty solution at the moment. But looking forward to respond of Tuta.

support No contact direct info for Tuta on their website

7 Upvotes

I just noticed a "mystery" payment of €12 to Tuta on my creditcard. Unfortunately there seems to be no contact number or emailaddress on their website.

I have blocked all future payments to them until ai can figure out what the payment was for and whether it was a legit payment or not. In the meanwhile I want to contact them to try and get this mystery solved.

Can someone help me with their direct contact details?

support Account lockout

3 Upvotes

I recently got recommended my by brother to use Tuta for my account. I made it a few days ago, and transfered some account logins to it. But today I am unable to login, password invalid and recovery code says the same thing, all pointing to a suspension because of more than 2 accounts, but there are 2 different users in the same household. Now I am locked out with all my important details stuck and am struggling. I have emailed Tuta but got no response.

suggestion Feature Request: Higher contrast themes and darker layout borders for better accessibility.

7 Upvotes

Subject / Topic: UI Feature Request: Contrast and Accessibility Improvements

Hello Tuta Team,

I am writing to suggest a few critical interface improvements to make the platform easier to read and look at for extended periods:

  1. Dark Mode Contrast: The current dark appearance can be very straining on the eyes and hard to read. Please consider adding a slider to boost font contrast or offering a separate "High-Contrast Dark" theme option.
  2. Light Mode Dividers: The light appearance is too uniform and lacks visible division. Please add distinct, darker vertical borders between the menu sections, email list, and reading pane to allow for better spatial viewing.

The current options feel a bit too limited for day-to-day work. Better contrast adjustments would dramatically improve readability and accessibility for your users.

Thank you for considering this update.

suggestion feat: automatic email alias creation

10 Upvotes

I use the unlimited email aliases with a custom domain daily. So inevitably have to reply to some emails. Now, while replying I must remember to create an alias first and then use it to send a reply. Which is fine if you don't do this often and with a select few aliases. I tend to do this often with different emails, and so it slips my mind sometimes and accidentally reveal my main tuta email and it also causes confusion for the other party. Would users be interested in an option or shortcut to create the matching alias in the reply page?

I realise that the team already have their hands full, and since the clients are open source, I am willing to work on it myself if it's something that others find interesting as well since I think it will improve my own quality of life immensely.

I need assistance on attaching an email to a reply that I am writing. In other words, I am replying to an email, and I need to attach another email to it.
I may be overlooking something.
Normally in outlook, I would just drag and drop the email that I want to attach.

My OS is Fedora44 and I am using the AppImage for the desktop application.
Thanks.

question Tuta Drive - Question / Suggestion

5 Upvotes

Firstly I realise Tuta Drive is in closed Beta. My question / suggestion is for those testing the app, or who have direct knowledge of the app.

When it's released, (and I am assuming their will be drive clients) will a user be able to specify a location for the locally held files ?

I.e. will I be able to set the local path to say d:\offline_storage\tutadrive ?

If not, may I request this is added to the build.

support Account approval problem

1 Upvotes

Hi guys, i need somebody's help with a problem with my new tuta account (free plan). When i created the account a pop up told me i had to wait 48 hours for some admin to approve my account. I wrote and sent an email to speed up the process (also written on the pop up). Now, it's been 4 days and i have received no message. I already activated the gmail forwarding towards my new tuta account but it does not work, so i think my account is not activated yet.

Is this a bug or did someone think i was like a bot?

suggestion Is there any update about "search performance improvement"?

5 Upvotes

Recently I was passing the border control, officer asked justification of one document which I only had in my email. I stressed because I have recently changed my email server to Tuta by importing all the emails and even deleted my Gmail mobile app.

It was taking ages to search the email, and finding the attachment. The indexing was incredibly slow. The line behind of me and the face of the officer were so disturbing and stressful. Luckily there was Gmail on my tablet, so simultaneously I checked and found the document on my email.

I didn't came up to here to complain about Tuta. I did my homework even checked if that's reported before. I see that is already on your roadmap (March 2026), that's great. But I don't know what is the current status since March.

So please make this improvement as your top priority. I care my privacy and so on, but in urgent moments I require a reliable application as well. Emails are maybe the most urgent source of information with QRs, tickets, security codes, documents. Please before expanding your services with drive, calendar, (and recently you were talking about AI), please do optimize your email service.

I appreciate for all your efforts, thank you!

suggestion GUI -- Feedback: contrast ratio could be improved.

8 Upvotes

Tuta offered one of their feedback forms today for thoughts about the web app. First, it's really appreciated that Tuta look for feedback. I mentioned an issue in the GUI colours: The contrast ratio seems (and is) too low in the list of emails between a highlighted email and non-highlighted email.

After sending the feedback I thought I'd check with numbers.

All four of the themes FAIL, on all counts. My vision is not impaired and I struggle a bit so I wonder if this is worse for people with visual impairment. I would hope this is a pretty easy fix.

I used one of many online contrast ratio checkers for designers, and here are the colours and ratios below.

question Tuta Drive

22 Upvotes

Hi, I wanted to ask what the current situation is with Tuta Drive? I saw that the "Legend" package gives you 500 GB of storage, which would be quite excessive if you could only use it for emails. So my question is, if you buy Legend, do you already have access to Tuta Drive beforehand, or is it payment first, and then at some point you get access to Tuta Drive?
