Typo in the article - "To teh contrary: it makes things worse."

Nobody could have predicted that Microsoft, the malaria people (Gates foundation), would do this evil act.

No, I don't trust Microsoft at all. So I don't use it.

@alan Thanks for the notice, we'll fix this!

In other words, I'm justified in calling it "LookOut!" all these years?

Is this just the thing where it syncs your settings to the cloud so you can (relatively) seamlessly move between multiple computers? If so I don't see any concern here if you've already decided to use that feature.

thanks for bringing this to my attention. I've been using Tuta for years but I had an old Microsoft account I used as a trash email when I didn't want to give my Tuta out. Just deleted the Microsoft account, thanks for the insights.

@paco TLS is just a tunnel. The data gets transmitted to Microsoft and is fully accessible to them. It's like storing your sensitive passwords on someone else's computer - in this case with hundreds of employees potentially having access to your data...

@paco No, that is not correct. When you use Tutanota only the hash of your password is transmitted to our server and the server can not derive the real password from the hash - but still log you in. We would never transmit the real password, that's an absolute no go in terms of security. Read more on this here: tuta.com/security
