Tutanota has limited features and i dont like the UI. But it is okay.
Try to go for protonmail
I just opened my protonmail account for the first time in years and it's really nice! Lots of great UI stuff now!
Protonmails approach to requiring hCaptcha for everything, even their mobile apps, really turns me off. I can't complete them. And I need another email to get in using their weird and creepy accessibility cookie thing. Nah thanks. If I need a second email to access my email I might as well just use that second email.
You sure you are a human?
Barely!
Who the hell downvotes a person for saying "I have a hard time with Captchas because they don't provide accessibility options that allow entry to someone with my conditions" ?
Like, guys, Captchas being ableist is a well known thing. And they've only been getting worse, as they've been in an arms race with AI, trying to become more and more distorted, and most AI text recognition software is already better at Captchas than most dyslexic people.
Tutanota is a bit more privacy focused, really useful for burners, because by default it will burn the account if you don't use it for 6 months.
As far the UI, I kinda like it. Little more old school, doesn't have the toy look so many apps have nowadays. But to each their own.
