@doerk @pixelcode @zeitfalle Thanks for your feedback. We are continuing to look into ways we can further simplify sending end-to-end encrypted emails between platforms without compromising our encryption standards.

@doerk @zeitfalle Further: It's not even the users who exchange PGP keys. Instead, Proton, Mailbox.org, Posteo etc. all automatically announce their users' public keys via their Web Key Directories. When entering bob@mailbox.org as the recipient in Proton, then Proton automatically fetches Bob's public key from Mailbox.org's WKD without you even noticing.

That's just as seamless as writing an encrypted e-mail from your Tuta account to another Tuta user.

Thats exactly what I want. No dealing with cumbersome links or exchanging a secret via encrypted messengers or phone calls.

@doerk PGP with SMTP and IMAP access would be a fantastic addition.
in reply to Zeitfalle

@zeitfalle
While I can understand why they don't offer IMAP for security reasons, I can't understand why there is no PGP support. Sure, it is not as secure as sending mails between two tuta accounts, but you have to consider that you have to submit the secret to the recipient in first step. How can you do this? In most cases this will be done by unencrypted mail which counteracts the approach of encryption.

@zeitfalle
Now you can say: But I have to exchange a key with PGP as well, but that's what public keys are for.
in reply to Tuta

I only got the chance to listen to this yesterday.

Great interview. Thank you to both Hanna & Henry!
