@Tutanota what are your plans for the following things:
- support of alternative apps and protocols (#jmap because of mobile)?
- outlook-like app?
- drive-like app?
- standard affordable pricing (not considering blackfriday)?
#Google and #Microsoft offer quite a good package if we ignore privacy nightmares and ads. #Revolutionary costs 3eur for 20gb? That 50% higher price for 20% storage compared to #Google. Ratio is worse for #Microsoft.

in reply to amackif • • •Thanks for your interest. You#re raising an important point: Tuta is more expensive, but we also don't abuse your data for personalized ads. Unfortunately, Google can generate billions with ads - we can't so the quality in terms of privacy and security does cost a little extra - though it's not a lot, actually.
Due to the e2e encryption, we do not support IMAP, but we've built our own open source apps for all clients, which sync instantly and can viewed when offline.

in reply to Tuta • • •I agree that it's difficult competing with privacy invasive providers like Google and Microsoft.
Here is a bit of a calculation: Google's price on the lowest tier is 50gb/Eur per month (paid monthly). #tuta has 6.67gb per eur per month (paid yearly). We come roughly to 9x more for privacy-preserving service.
Paying premium for a service is ok... But 9x?
Consider this 'thinking out loud' from a random, potential buyer.
