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.

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.

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

No PGP support kinda kills it imho

I recommend mailbox.org instead.
