Always nice to see someone like @handy, who had some well-based initial doubts about ads bots on the main site (a genuine concern normally ) and then actually proof-trail the actual product and then does own research and reverses the original standpoint.

To me Tutanota came about because almost all throwaway and fully free e-mail addresses mostly will 100% require a log-in every 90 days to keep the account active. Sort of defeats the purpose, methinks. Quite insane in many respects.
I had one older Opera browser email old account (operamail, if anyone remembers it), which then became fastmail, which was kinda great and never caused any worries except that one morning you wake up and the account is frozen.
Why? Overriding the 90 days soft-limit. Which just 30 days later then becomes account deleted. Deleted??? Gone? - yes fully gone. G'damn it.
No way to ever recover data, bye-bye. Glad we got rid of you was the implied response from their cough service department. Not the actual response, but most modern-day media do hate minimal-level users just hanging around and not paying full fare.

Tutao has no limits at all here. Log in once in a lifetime or do so every day. Makes no difference to them. Also explored Proton and many other offerings too. Quite happy thus-far with Tutao. Not the main account or the secondary one, but a useful additive whilst traveling.
Not that I ever need full-encryption on every routine mail sent and I have very little to hide, but I also do not want up-to 100x government agencies (or carriers etc) to be scrutinizing and machine analyzing every single word that I might be using towards a worst-case negative context.
BTW It's not paranoia if your every word ever used is profiled always. I would like to say that I bombed at trying this course totally so, but if you want a USA visa sometime soon, you should never ever use anything with the word "bomb" in it, however innocent or innocuous it might be.
A full hour interview on arrival will then quickly follow, for no other reason than online profiling prior to arrival.

Not any attempt to hide anything, but to maybe unhide it. Just free communication. Yes they offer premium plans at about $15 per annum for hugely improved storage, which is far-below most other offerings and it's all secure too.
Germany is in very many ways at the forefront of Linux (KDE and Suse etc). Possibly because ordinary Germany fell so fully into Orwellian stuff under Hitler in the semi-recent past that now Germany is so extra vigilant here in so many ways.
Lots of kudos to the allies here too, in making and reforming modern-day Germany into both a peace-loving and also actively freedom-fighting society. Not punitively taxing them to extinction. Germany just loves and fully supports Linux in so many ways

@Dave, thanks. :)

The Free account & the Premium account both have 1Gb storage. The Pro account has 10Gb storage, but it costs 60 euro/year.

You can add 10Gb storage to the Premium account for 24 euro/year. You can add more than that too, for more cost.

I keep my email accounts pretty well maintained - as in a I delete stuff. My estranged wife had way over 1000 items in her ISP based webmail account - way slow to load & do anything else.

Still, if you have stuff beyond emails, that you want to store securely, Tutanota surely does offer a good option.
