Rachel Levieva<p>Tutanota — это такой сервис, который вроде как про приватность, но по факту больше про то, чтобы ты ни с кем не мог нормально взаимодействовать. Забудьте про SMTP и IMAP, это слишком небезопасно по их версии реальности. Поэтому подключить почту к своему клиенту? Нет. Сделать рассылку с CRM? Нет. Перенести архив писем на другую платформу? Ну-у-у… теоретически когда-нибудь. Зато внутри своего уютного гетто всё шифруется насмерть, а если вы хотите написать внешнему миру, то собеседник должен пройти квест с паролями и временными ссылками. Очень удобно, да. И да, сервера строго в Германии, потому что если уж быть заложником системы, то хотя бы с немецким паспортом. Tutanota — это не «почта нового поколения», это скорее почта без почты. Без протоколов, без совместимости, без вариантов. Полностью безопасно, потому что полностью изолировано. Лучше сразу голубями, там хотя бы SMTP не нужен.</p><p><a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/Tutanota" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Tutanota</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/Email" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Email</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/Privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Privacy</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/SecureButUseless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SecureButUseless</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/NoSMTP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NoSMTP</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/NoIMAP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NoIMAP</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/LockIn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LockIn</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/TechRant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TechRant</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/Encryption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Encryption</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/DigitalPrivacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalPrivacy</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/Germany" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Germany</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/EmailClients" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EmailClients</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/WalledGarden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WalledGarden</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/PrivacyMyth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PrivacyMyth</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/UserExperience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UserExperience</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/EmailGatekeeping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EmailGatekeeping</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/BetterUsePigeons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BetterUsePigeons</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/ModernTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ModernTech</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/PrivacyForWho" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PrivacyForWho</span></a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/GDRPApprovedPigeons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GDRPApprovedPigeons</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/@Tutanota/111114851022098476" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">mastodon.social/@Tutanota/1111</span><span class="invisible">14851022098476</span></a></p>
