Tuta: Secure Email @lemmy.world Brian (he/him) @lemmy.ml

Ease of switchover from Proton to Tuta - particularly for aliases

I’m seriously contemplating moving from Proton to Tuta for email, and ditching Proton altogether. (Separately, I’ll go with Mullvad for VPN.)

My question is—if you’ve made that same email switch—how you’ve gone about shifting across aliases in Simplelogin which use one of their domain aliases to Tuta. Is it a case of having to update every single email manually? I will very likely end up using a custom domain with Tuta and so would have something like new_alias@domain.com for each alias, and now really really wish I’d done that already with Proton… 😬

Does the “unlimited custom domain addresses” offered with the Revolutionary and Legend packages mean that I can have unlimited aliases using my own domain? It seems so but wanted to check with those who are already operating it that way.

Thanks in advance for any help with this!

  • I went from gmail to Tuta and it's great. I told gmail to forward all mail to tuta then delete it. Over time then, when I saw a message come in from gmail, I took a moment to change my email on that service or told that person to update their address book. So I didn't have to deal with it all at once.

    I have a basic account (with 1 custom domain and 5 addresses) but yes, I've always understood you get unlimited at the higher levels.

    • Thanks. I hear only good things about Tuta.

      What you’ve done is similar to what I did when I moved from Gmail to Proton, with forwarding and changing addresses over time. But since then I’ve built up a lot of aliases. I guess I was just hoping there might be a less painful way of having to change every alias manually but perhaps not.

      I’ve generally been happy with Proton but the recent controversy over their CEO’s comments plus the risk of “all your eggs in one basket” has made me think again.
