  • 2017 Will Be Great: It Is the Start of the Privacy-Era.

    Since January 2017 secure mail service Tutanota is seeing an exponential growth in users. This trend has started in the second half of 2016, but has really taken off recently. Simultaneous to this development privacy-focused search engines like Qwant.com and duckduckgo.com are also growing quickly. The reasons - as our users tell us - are not only to be found in politics, but politics do play a big part.

  • Cloudbleed Revealed Personal Information - And: What Is the Real Danger Behind a Service Like Cloudflare?

    Cloudflare published a serious bug in its software that revealed user passwords, authentication tokens and cookies of millions of websites. Tutanota was not affected as your secure mailbox does not use Cloudflare or any similar service. But if you are using your Tutanota password for any other service (which you shouldn't!), change it right away. It may be accessible to whoever is looking for it somewhere on the internet.

  • A Very Terrifying Idea: Only the NSA Can Save Us.

    This week well-known German journalist Christian Stöcker posted a commentary with a rather terrifying thesis: Only the bad relations between Trump and the NSA are currently stopping him from abusing the NSA to use this surveillance apparatus for anti-democratic purposes. The US authorities need to prevent him from using their tools to oppress the press and political opponents.

  • You Think You Have Nothing to Hide? Think Again.

    Today is Data Privacy Day. Many people are still not aware of the importance of privacy and how it is being invaded on a day-to-day basis. Yet the invasion of our privacy affects each and every one of us, and it is crucial to spread the word about it.

  • Release Notes 2.14.4: app.tutanota.com

    With this release we publish the Tutanota web client on https://app.tutanota.com while https://app.tutanota.de is still accessible.

  • Trump Is the New President. But No Matter Who Rules, You Should Always Protect Your Privacy.

    Eight years ago many people hoped in vain that Obama would reduce NSA surveillance. Now many fear that US surveillance will become even worse under Trump's rule. But faith and fear are wrong guides when it comes to protecting your privacy: Precaution is what we all need.

  • Release Notes 2.14.0: Storage Capacity Check

    A couple of months ago we introduced the option to buy additional storage when you need more than the 1 GB that every account gets for free. While we trusted people would be honest and upgrade voluntarily, we had to learn otherwise. With this update we enforce the storage capacity limit for every mailbox.

  • Privacy Win: Once More EU Court Rejects Data Retention

    The highest court in Europe ruled this week that "general and indiscriminate" data retention directives are against European Union law. This is a great victory for our right to privacy. It calls into question many recent surveillance laws passed by European Union member states such as the United Kingdom, Sweden and Germany.

  • Release Notes 2.13.4: Spam Improvement and Changes in Support

    With this update we have significantly improved spam handling by adding DKIM and DMARC to Tutanota. In addition we are changing our support system. Up to now we have answered all support requests. However, with well over one million users, we need to put more time into development than answering innumberable emails every day.

  • Release Notes 2.13.1: Bug fixes and more browser support

    Today's release again contains a couple of bug fixes as well as the possibility to login from not officially supported browsers.
