  • We are very happy to welcome Nils to the Tutanota Team.

    Please welcome with us our new team member: Nils. Nils has already joined Tutanota back in September 2018 for an internship during which he started building the Tutanota desktop clients. After adding such a great improvement to Tutanota, everyone wanted Nils to stay. So now we are all very happy to announce that Nils has officially become our eighth team member!

  • Job opportunity: Join Tutanota to make it quantum-resistant.

    Tutanota and the Leibniz University Hanover have joined forces to start a research project in post-quantum cryptography. The aim of this project is to make the encrypted email service Tutanota resistant against attacks from quantum computers. Now, Tutanota is looking for two software engineers to join their team based in Hanover, Germany.

  • Security Comparison: Why it's time to use Tutanota instead of GMX.

    Email accounts are the gate to your online identity. Linked to several other services - e.g. Amazon, Facebook, Twitter - that offer password resets via email, your mailbox must be secured to the maximum. Should a malicious attacker gain access to your email account, they can take over all other online services that are linked to this email address. When choosing an email service, its security must be considered. This comparison will help you decide between two very different German email services: GMX and Tutanota.

  • Secure desktop clients for Linux, Windows and Mac OS (Beta).

    Today we are very happy to announce that we have a special Christmas present for all Tutanota users. We have just published the first beta version of our new secure desktop clients for Linux, Mac OS and Windows. We invite you to test our beta desktop client right now, and let us know how we can improve them further.

  • The Future of Emails Is Private with Tutanota's New Email Client: Fast, Secure, Beautiful.

Join the millions of Tutanota users to make sure that your emails are no longer as public as postcards, but instead as secure as sealed letters.

  • Encrypted email service Tutanota now supports a secure password reset.

    We are happy to let you know that we have updated our email client and added a secure password reset feature. This feature enables you to reset your Tutanota login credentials in case you lose your password or your second factor. Learn here how to make use of Tutanota's reset feature to make sure that you never lose access to your secure Tutanota account.

  • Denmark Makes Email Encryption Compulsory for Businesses.

    Widely unnoticed, Denmark is the first country to require businesses to encrypt emails containing sensitive personal information end-to-end, starting January 1, 2019. This rule is a strict interpretation of Article 9 of the European GDPR. It is the first time a country has made email encryption mandatory — but it is expected that more countries will follow the Danish example. This comes as yet another indicator that the protection of sensitive personal data must be prioritized by any company doing business in Europe.

  • Tutanota Joins LOT Network to Defend the Free and Open Internet.

    We are happy to announce that Tutanota has joined LOT Network, a global non-profit community of companies committed to protecting themselves against patent trolls. We believe that patents, or patent troll law suits, must never be used to stifle innovation. By joining the LOT Network and by working together, all members can cut down on patent litigation, enabling us to focus on what we do best: building great products.

  • Important Security Update for the Android (Beta) & iOS Apps.

    Two weeks ago, our development team has discovered and immediately patched a security vulnerability in the new Tutanota apps. This vulnerability could have allowed attackers to inject arbitrary code into the web part of the app using crafted file names if a user downloaded this file. As far as we know, there has not been an active exploitation of this vulnerability. We estimate that only a fraction of our users had used the affected app versions.

  • Building Trust Unlocks Great Business Potential. But Data Keeps Being Breached and Misused.

    Consumer trust in companies decreases at an ever faster pace. Caused by data breach scandals as well as privacy-intrusive misuse of data by the companies themselves, consumers increasingly look for trustworthy alternatives. Instead of gambling with their users' trust, companies should respect their users' rights to privacy by encrypting the data end-to-end.

  • The Tutanota iOS App Has just Received Its Biggest Update Ever!

    We're excited to let you know that we have just published a brand-new version of the iOS app. The new app is faster, supports 2FA, auto-sync and full text search. We're very happy that we now have a new web client, a new Android app, and a new iOS app. Now we're adding some last improvements along with a couple of bug fixes, and, finally, the new version of Tutanota will be ready to leave its beta status behind!
