Four years ago we have started our open source project as entrepreneurs at Leibniz University Hanover. Even back then - two
years before the Snowden revelations - we were appalled by the common use of surveillance techniques to which
email was and is very exposed. We wanted to build the easiest and most secure email service to stop the snooping on all
citizens.
We are happy to release Tutanota 2.5 today. With this release we greatly improve spam management.
Now each admin can create and manage black- and whitelists for all users.
Tuesday (24-11-15) night - starting at 10 pm CET - there is a planned maintenance of our servers. This might lead to short downtimes
of Tutanota until Wednesday (25-11-15) morning 6 am CET.
After the tragic terrorist attacks in Paris, politicians around the world are - again - pushing for more surveillance laws. In doing so they neglect a simple truth: Mass surveillance does not increase security.
Switzerland plans to revise their data retention law BÜPF so that all communication data (post, email, phone, text messages, ip addresses) can
be stored for 12 months. The opponents of this law even say that it would allow the monitoring of mobile phones and the
installation of trojans on computers, tablets and mobile phones.
We are building Tutanota with WebStorm, an excellent tool for developing web projects. This blog post is for all those
guys that are interested in web and software development.
A couple of days ago we have initiated an update of our DNSKEY for tutanota.de and app.tutanota.de. Unfortunately, this update has not been synchronized
at our registrar's. Due to this, some users currently can access Tutanota only when switching their connecting server.
Today 404 German politicians have passed a data retention law making Germany yet another one in the long list of countries introducing
data retention to 'fight terrorism'. Only 25 years after the end of the German surveillance state GDR, this law once again puts all
German citizens under heavy surveillance.
We are very happy to release Tutanota 2.2.2 today! We have added a default signature to all your emails, which you can
change to your personal favorite. However, you would do us a great favor if you also kept our statement underneath your emails!
