Email service

[Breeze]

When communicating with sources are we supposed to use the same e mail service that they use? I realize we have to use encrypted services such as proton, tutanota, etc. , but is it ok to send from proton to CounterMail or proton to tutanota etc. ? Obviously these are new to me, and I was reading on one of the sources pages that we shouldn’t send to tutanota from proton or vice versa. I’ve recently sent from proton to a source that uses CounterMail and haven’t heard back from him.

I use tutanota. Sending from tuta to tuta you can encrypt the email. Sending from tuta to proton one must NOT encrypt and send an unconfidential message. I am not certain if that is the standard across all other secure mediums but that is what works for me. Hope this helps.

It’s fine to send a proton mail to tutanota and vice versa. Though, protonmail has had some issues so you might get a faster reply using counter or tutanota.

dont be a dumb fuck!! learn and use PGP for the love of all things good…
dont put your trust in some service maintaining your own set of encryption keys.
it’s not that hard…

I personally use ProtonMail.

Sounds a lot cooler than the leading providers except… tuta has a shorter extension

I use tutanota, and when emailing to countermail, there is a password that is required. The first time I tried sending, I left the PW empty and since it didn’t send, I added the pgp key and it sent, as far as I can tell. I just don’t know if the pgp key is the actual PW since the source I emailed doesn’t offer any password… Was that right?

no… it is NOT fine to send between proton and tutanota or countermail or any provider.

use PGP for all communications.
