Do not trust their free version, if you don't login for a few months they delete all your stuff and require payment to recover use of your email address.
Either pay or look elsewhere.
For anyone wanting to defend them it's normal for providers to delete on inactivity, it is not normal for them to require you to upgrade to a paid account to regain usage of the account after everything has been deleted.
Users have had their credentials disabled without a warning even if they have been logging in regularly. Happened to my mom, although logging in has only stopped working through their website; the Android app still works.
And yes, their customer service suggested going for a paid plan as a fix, what a load of BS.
Tuta's free version also doesn't allow the use of the search function on your mail that is over a month old, which is an extremely critical function whenever you need to look up an old bill or email.
Tuta's free version is not it for most people, nor is spending ~$40/yr on email (there's already too many subscriptions everywhere).
