Is it good? Are there any better alternatives?

Doesn't allow third party email clients.

I can recommend Posteo.

I've been on Posteo for years now, they've been rock solid. As for Tuta.io, the issue specifically is no IMAP support, which is what third party email clients need to function.

I thought I'd also mention Protonmail, which might look good, but is in a similar boat. They technically do provide IMAP support, but not in a way that matters. If you wanted to connect Protonmail to Thunderbird or, if you're an insane person, Microsoft Outlook, you'd need another app running on your PC along with your email app called Proton Bridge, which just sounds like a hassle. No mobile version either.

I'd say stick with Posteo. Alternatively, if you want to use your own domain name, I've heard good things about mailbox.org.

Just to clarify - Protonmail does have a mobile app (works great by the way, especially on Graphene)

My bad, I wasn't clear enough. I actually meant Proton Bridge has no mobile version, meaning you can only use the official app you mentioned, but not any third party apps like K-9 Mail/Thunderbird or FairEmail.

Aw yeah that makes sense actually on rereading it. I think i was going to try the Proton Bridge at first on moving to Linux but then saw it was only available via their paid version.

That put me off lol, so I'm just sticking to using it via browser and their own mobile app for now.
