After Sign-up
Tutanota requires entering a single password, which takes you to the main interface.

The basic interface is cleanly laid out and easy to use, but lacks many of the bells and whistles we have come to expect from a webmail service (the most notable of which is the ability to save drafts).
By default, all emails are sent confidentially i.e. encrypted (this can be changed in the settings), which requires entering an agreed upon shared passphrase that the recipient will know (if this is too short then you will receive an alert, but you can choose to override this). Unlike ProtonMail, there is no hint option, so you will have to agree on a password in advance (preferably in person or using secure IM chat).

If a recipient uses regular email, they will receive an invitation to view your message securely. Note that while the senders name is shown, the subject, body, and attachments are not.

To view your message the recipient follows the supplied link, and enters the agreed upon password.

This where Tutanota really shines, because non-Tutanota using recipients of secure email are assigned a special ‘personal’ account that allows them to respond to the message securely. All messages sent from a specific Tutanota account are also available through this special account.

Early users complained about the basic Contacts manager, but this has now been fixed and seems to be fully featured. Hopefully the ability to save draft messages will also come soon!
The mobile app
A Tutanota app is available for iOS and Android. We tested the Android version.

The app is simple, but is well laid out and works well. As with the web client, emails are encrypted by default
Caution - Since Tutanota did not ask for alternate email, personal or contact details, therefore there is no way to recover forgotten password. Even customer support can't help you.
