I’ve been looking into this new email service. It looks promising, yet the blog posted by Tutanota kind of worries me: https://tutanota.com/skiff-mail

Their servers are run in AWS? I really don’t want to have my unencrypted emails in the hands of Amazon. And it is also mentioned that they’re US based. I mean, Germany is also in the 14 eyes, but US is a much much more anti-privacy country.

    “I also know that they had some shady decisions in the past.” I am assuming this is a reference to responding to a legal order to hand over details for a user. Any company would have to do the same. The problem is with the law, not the company.

      exactly. They lost their warrant canary, but that in and of itself isn’t reason enough to abandon the platform or believe it’s compromised.

      And if legal warrants are your concern, you shouldn’t be using a cloud solution at all tbh
