I love Tutanota's email service though this app leaves much to be desired. The splash screen takes way too long, lack of a search feature, can't enable images like the browser version and half of the time I can't open an email because when I tap on it it's non-responsive. Maybe it's just my crappy phone? I don't know but none of my other email apps exhibit similar issues. I really hope to see an update soon, aside from the app, Tutanota is my favorite email provider. I never want to use Gmail again and Tutanota is the answer. You guys are awesome. Thank you.

Good to have secured email alternative. Just one issue that i have currently.When opening attachment with same file name e.g mystatement.zip frm ur bank statement, it wil always show the latest u had opened. Using file commander or office app same result. E.g open 12 oct email, then try to open 9 sep email that containt same file name, it wil give 12 oct content.

Absolutely the worst email app ever created. Does not sync with desktop version, fails miserably with attachments like pdf, zero updates... spend your money elsewhere. This is an amateur app and a miserable email client.

I mean not to discourage you from downloading this app because it does deliver. The sensation of knowing that I finally have a private messaging service is amazing! Who'd a thunk it? But, there is so much spam email!!! Everyday, I have to move 10 to 20 messages from my inbox to my spam folder. I really, really encourage the developers of TutaNota to improve their spam filter.

Working fine until I tried to read mail with no Internet connection. I re-establish connection tried app again and.everything greyed out, no active screen! I uninstalled via playstore and then installed. Works but no longer have the choice of 2 email accounts at home screen. I now have to logout then select other account- retype email and password to go to second account. To go to first account - log out and again retype as no option to choose the account from a list. WHAT HAS HAPPENED?

Deeply flawed. On desktop tutanota is what it says it is - a simple, clean, secure (I hope) email interface and I like it a lot. The Android app is similar BUT: 1. If another task intervenes or if I try to attach an image, tutanota crashes and I must log in all over again. 2. If the above happens, the message I was preparing is lost, not saved to Drafts as with the desktop version. 3. Furthermore, I cannot 'save to Drafts' an unfinished message. Either send it as is or lose it. ProtonMail, although lacking the clean simplicity of tutanota, is much less likely to crash.

Thanks for your feedback! Yes, you can only attach files from within the app. You can also configure spam black- and whitelists: https://tutanota.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/780147-how-can-i-configure-spam-detection-rules-configur Working fine until I tried to read mail with no Internet connection.

This feature is not yet available, but planned. Please vote for missing features here: https://tutanota.uservoice.com/ You can save the passwords locally in the app for faster login. Deeply flawed.

Thanks for your feedback. An extensive update is planned for the coming months - including improved speed, stability and design. It will follow the redesign of our new beta mail client: https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/release-notes-new-client-2-24-1 Would be amazing to have more control over the emails unsend self destruct features and at least 1 free alias. Having the app on fdroid would help as well. Thank you for all your hard work
Tutao GmbH November 29, 2017
App on F-Droid is planned with our upcoming extensive update early next year. :) For more features, please vote here: https://tutanota.uservoice.com/ Love love love the app, but I am deducting a star because it takes far too long to open past the splash screen even on a Sony Xperia XZ Premium. I know you're working on it but you'll get your final star when it's done. At least add a little "Decrypting..." at the bottom so people don't think the app is intentionally slow. Would also like to see a Dark theme. Thanks ❤️
Tutao GmbH November 13, 2017
Thanks for your feedback, yes, we'll improve the app once we add it to the beta test of the client (with a dark theme). It's planned for the coming months, thanks for your patience! Too slow to open. Why is there a splash page that takes many seconds to continue to my inbox. No search. Good service but your app needs a lot of work.
Tutao GmbH October 17, 2017
Thanks for your feedback! That's due to the decryption process taking place locally on your device. However, we are in the process of adding our apps to the beta (similar to the new client), which will improve design & speed immensely. we are also working on search right now! Stay tuned. Fight Goolag and support privacy. Kindly implement some sort of pin, passcode, pattern type security on app launch beside the account password.
Update: Received emails containing the error message: "This element is corrupted and can not be displayed correctly". I try to access my account from a PC instead but I forgot my password (you insist on making passwords difficult.) Try to delete account from within my account on Android phone but it asks for password - which I don't have! Try to contact you to ask you to delete my account - it's impossible. Now this problem...an active account I can't delete. Uninstalling.
Tutao GmbH June 9, 2016
Thanks for your comment. We use it everyday. :) If you send your feedback to our support, we can look into it: [email protected]
Thanks! We plan to increase the speed in the future, but since decryption and encryption is done locally on your phone, there are limitations - especially with attachments (as they are also encrypted). The app is ok, however, for an email client it lacks a fundamental function. You can not search your mailbox. Tracking down that email from last month is a nightmware
Tutao GmbH October 3, 2017
Search is the feature we are working on right now! Stay tuned. ;) 2FA nem ártana, ha már csak 1 jelszó van. meg egyébként is, csak az opensource és ingyen 1GB miatt kap 5 csillagot, meg hogy secure
Tutao GmbH October 9, 2017
We'll add 2FA to the app in the coming months, thanks for your feedback! :) Great app to access my email account. Nice clean design and easy to use with no issues. Will be adding an extra star when either fingerprint/2fa is available. But so far love it. Thanks. 👍😻
Tutao GmbH October 26, 2017
Thanks for your feedback! 2FA is already supported by our web client - https://mail.tutanota.com/ - and we'll add this huge update to the app in the coming months as well. Can't log in. Have changed my password and still no success. Running latest version.
Tutao GmbH November 20, 2017
Can you lock in on a computer, but not in the app? Sometimes special characters don't match on mobile/desktop. Please make sure that everything - domain name, password spelling etc. is absolutely correct. If the error persists, please send details to our technical support so we can look into this: [email protected] Beautiful! Thank you developers. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to that search feature.
The bottom part of the secondary text line, the from email and date, is cut off.
Tutao GmbH December 4, 2017
Thanks for your feedback, we'll look into this. Love tuta . Purchased premium to support these guys and recommend you do also at the very affordable price . Longterm vision . Looking forwsrd to update for faster load . Thsnks
Would really like the ability to see the subject title / message preview in the notification.
Tutao GmbH October 3, 2017
Thanks for your feedback! We plan to give the apps a complete make-over in the coming months so all feedback is very welcome. Please vote for missing features here: https://tutanota.uservoice.com/ Tutao GmbH December 11, 2017
Thanks for your feedback. This is our standard logo, but we'll look into it when we give the app a major update early next year. ;) End to end encryption and 1 gig of inbox space. All I want in an email service.
Tutao GmbH October 24, 2017
Thanks for your feedback, this is due to the decryption process taking place on your device. However, we've already improved speed immensely with our new beta client - https://mail.tutanota.com/ - and will roll-out this improvement to the apps as well in the coming months! Can't save or download attachments despite many requests from other users. When's the next release?
Tutao GmbH November 7, 2017
We're about to completely re-design the apps according to our new mail client - https://mail.tutanota.com - Release is planned for the coming months, stay tuned. ;) Good start. When you want to share an item tutanota is not in the share list like whatsapp or protonmail.
Tutao GmbH December 14, 2017
Thanks for your feedback. :) We'll add the share function with a future update. You can vote for all missing features here: https://tutanota.uservoice.com/ Genuine privacy & security. Pro's : They don't demand personally identifying information to register a new account, they don't secretly leak data to third party servers, timely security & bug fix updates, servers are fast & reliable. Con's : The promised 'new client' & new features has been dragging on for years & years I paid the modest price for a personal premium account. Still waiting for business class features to appear...
Tutao GmbH September 28, 2017
Thanks for your feedback. The new client is about to be released, only a couple of days left! :) Stay tuned. Guys please fix bug: When trying to type in an email address. If I deny tutanota access to my contacts I can't send email. (Samsung S7) The mail service is good, I like how it works with great end to end encryption. Do look into improving the loading time for the inbox takes about 3 to 4 second wait for each launch.
Tutao GmbH September 21, 2017
Thanks for your feedback. We double-checked and sending of emails is possible even without allowing access to your phones' address book. Only auto-complete of email addresses stored in your local address book will not work. Please re-try! :) I've been a Tutanota user since some years and I am quite happy with the service they provide. It's worthy and affordable to buy the premium version. However, the android app has room for improvement (its speed, or lack thereof, is my main complaint). I'm anxiously waiting for the release of the next version. Keep up the good work :)
Tutao GmbH July 19, 2017
Thanks for your feedback! Yes, speed will much improve with the new client (in private beta right now). The apps will also be completely redesigned once the client is out. Thanks for your patience! :) Used to like this app. But everytime I use my phone to send emails it fails. I attempted to type a new email address to send an email to a close friend and it automatically closed the app five times once for each of the five times I attempted to send her an email. So not happy. Why is it not letting me send an email to someone I haven't done already? Yet it lets me send emails back to people who have emailed me first?? Waste of time. Will have to find a new email provider now. Which I'm not happy about. The app is rubbish, not pleased at all .
Tutao GmbH August 18, 2017
Are you able to send this person an email via the browser, or is it possible that she deleted her Tutanota-account? Are you getting a crash report? Could you please send details to our technical support along with your account name to [email protected] - we would like to look into this! Thanks. Tutanota keeps making promises for YEARS and telling to fix stuff for MONTHS AND YEARS (LITERALLY!) but never delivers anything over years. They do not take care of their own service whatsoever OR there is only one guy working on everything since years maybe. Either way, nothing happens and nothing is done what should have been done already. I canceled my premium account and would not recommend this email service to anyone actually.
Tutao GmbH September 4, 2017
We're sorry to hear that you are not satisfied. We've been working on our new client this entire year so the old client did not get much improvement. The public beta of the new Tutanota client is scheduled for this month - if you already want to test it, please get in touch here: https://www.reddit.com/r/tutanota/ I am super happy with tutanota. Naturally I am a very skeptical person, so I am not very sure how much to rly trust this provider, BUT compared to all the others, this is still my favorite one. Super sleek and simple kept app for Android - just love it and never had any issues with it on my meizu pro5 phone.
After the latest update I have been unable to launch the app successfully. It gives me an error message stating that I must be using an older version of "Android System WebView", however, I do have the latest update of that system app. Once I click OK, the Tutanota simply spins nonstop.
Tutao GmbH September 14, 2017
Sorry about that, we've fixed it shortly after being notified. You should be able to login now. I've been trying to use tutanota for years. I've been waiting for a basic search function that was promised last year. I changed my email from gmail to this and its been like pulling teeth. The fact that there still isn't even a basic search function- even a slow terrible one would be welcome more than none- is unbelievable. Now after the new update I can't open the app at all and it says I can't connect to the server and to install the new version of Android web view (which is of course already installed.) I tried uninstalling and reinstalling- no use. So now there's yet another hassle I have to deal with to access email. I think it's time to move on.
Tutao GmbH September 14, 2017
Sorry about that, we've fixed it shortly after being notified. You should be able to login now. We are currently working on our new client, which will be released as public beta this month. Search is planned for after this release, so not much longer to wait. Thanks for your support! Unlike the web service, this app is sluggish, unresponsive and not refreshing your mailbox right. Devs hardly maintain it. Looking for alternatives...
Tutao GmbH June 30, 2017
Thanks for your feedback. We are currently working on a completely new client (in private beta at the moment) that will also improve the apps immensely: faster, better design, auto-sync. Stay tuned! I tried the update and I'm very impressed with the speed. It was slow before, but now it's very very fast. I still can't use it as my main email until I'm able to search and find emails.
Tutao GmbH May 29, 2017
Thanks for your feedback. Search is already scheduled for development and will be coming in the next months. It is a challenge to realize secure search as we need to search locally on your device - all data on our servers is encrypted and can't be searched there. Development is just too slow. Life is too short to be waiting forever to get basic things like 2fa. All we seem to get are endless promises. Canceling my premium account and moving to Posteo.
Tutao GmbH October 3, 2017
Thanks for your feedback. The new client - just published - supports 2FA: https://mail.tutanota.com/ - Now we are working hard to add the apps to this beta test; then they will also support 2FA! Awesome The BEST email provider, Quick tip click on store password, that means you will never have to worry about loosing it or forgot it. I love this app. Probably the awesomest email service as well!
