    In that case it sounds like Tuta is the right choice for you. I just wanted to make sure you knew about the drawbacks. For me the search thing is what killed it, because I regularly search older emails.

      Yup, it’s definitely appreciated.

      And honestly, the only things that draw me to Tuta over Proton are:

      • price - €3/month; family plan is €3/person; Proton is $4/month (reasonable), family is $24/month (kind of a lot)
      • custom domains - Tuta supports 3 on lowest paid plan, Proton supports 1; I want at least 2 (family + personal project)
      • Monero - I like the idea of digital cash, and this is the closest I’ve seen; I currently don’t have any, so not a deal breaker

      So mostly cost. But there’s a lot of stuff I like about Proton:

      • Simple Login
      • VPN
      • more polished experience
      • bridge

      I can host my own Simple Login, Mullvad VPN has more locations, and I don’t use email all that often anyway.

      I’d switch to Proton if they:

      • added more custom domains to Mail Plus
      • had a Mail Plus family plan (ideally piecemeal like Tuta)

      Monero is nice but not a deal breaker, and I’m okay with Proton being a little more expensive due to brand recognition.
