I’ve gotta be real with you, @Tutanota: I love your work and your company, but you need to add Web Key Directory compatibility.

At this point, PGP/WKD support for a privacy-focused email provider has to be as fundamental as supporting TLS. Proton does not own PGP.

I simply cannot in good conscience recommend Tuta over Proton to people generally speaking, knowing that Proton users benefit from E2EE when they email me on my self-hosted email servers, as well as when they email plenty of other providers (Posteo, Mailbox.org). And that is a shame, because trust me I would love to be able to point anywhere other than Proton when I’m asked this.

Keep your superior encryption for intra-Tuta emails, absolutely. Give it a different UI indicator so people know the difference, I don’t care. At the end of the day, not at least silently supporting in the background the only decentralized email encryption method we have is antithetical to what email is all about: interoperability.

People have been asking you about PGP for 8+ years, I know Autocrypt used to be on your roadmap and now it seemingly no longer is.

There is a clear winner now, and it’s WKD.
