Tuta Mail is the secure email provider with automatic encryption built in. It focuses on security, privacy and open source. Tuta Mail is known as the best ProtonMail alternative as it is the largest encrypted email service in the European Union. German data protection laws which are even better than [Swiss privacy laws]({https://tuta.com/blog/swiss-privacy-is-an-illusion}) make Tuta a great contender in the field of secure communications.

  • Claws Mail
    A genuine question: why is it that most open source email clients have websites that look like they were put together by Tim Berners Lee, as a test of "this web thing"? Here is another one https://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/en/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

  • Claws Mail
    Sylpheed[0] was my favourite e-mail client, of which Claws Mail is a fork. [0] https://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/en/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

    For simplicity as this is a "senior" who is looking for an old fashioned interface maybe try: https://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/en/. Source: about 2 years ago
  • Is Sylpheed email client still maintained ?
    I had have a little problem recently with the email dates in the app, some emails do not show a date, says "(no date)", or somehow show the date with wrong format, ie, "17-Abr-2021". Tried to look for help in the program page https://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/en/ but the forums and wiki are full of spam. Source: almost 3 years ago
