Is Tuta a good alternative to gmail? (slrpnk.net)

I've been looking to switch from gmail to a different email provider that's more private. I've been hearing about Tuta, are there any drawbacks to it? Are there better options?

For a while I was planning on making the switch to protonmail but that's off the table now due to the recent events surrounding them.

No single organization should be trusted. "Emails paint an intimate narrative of ourselves — the people we talk to, the books we read, the politics we practice. This information is powerful. When we lose control over it, it can do great harm to ourselves and our loved ones." https://ideas.ted.com/why-we-should-all-care-about-encryption-really/

I didn't like that Tuta didn't support IMAP which means I am locked in to using their client. I self host my own CalDAV and carddav servers for calendar and contacts and wanted a single client for mail/calendar/contacts. Without IMAP support I could not do that. I ended up going with fastmail and am okay with the privacy tradeoff of no end to end encryption.

Haven't read anything bad about Tuta so I guess it's fine. Other good ones are Proton, mailbox.org or posteo.de. Anything that's not by Google, Microsoft, and so on.

No PGP support kinda kills it imho

I have the feeling people actually need to have the urge from panic to have to migrate all their data.

I recommend mailbox.org instead.
