Review: Tutanota email, a possible gmail replacement
Tutanota's free to use web based e-mail has acceptable levels of storage, and boasts emails won't be deleted in periods of inactivity. Most people think gmail won't, but wikipedia lists it has a 9 month inactivity period, so users should be very concerned about that.
Heading towards testing it I keyed in user/password, and Tutanota instantly failed the password test.
It denied the ability to use a relatively strong password (by other e-mail system standards) resulting in Tutanota failing the design logic incompetence test, which = end of review.
Basically, it is Tutanota's job to make login simple, and you do that by limiting the number of attempts you can have to login. Obviously Tutanota must be allowing unlimited login attempts if it requires such strong passwords, and if it is working that way, it means Tutanota is likely open and more vulnerable to hacking than email systems that thwart hacking attempts by limiting login attempts and delaying an hour before next attempt?
If Tutanota design is incompetent at the very beginning, it suggests there's likely more within the system.
Tutanota - currently not recommended, although I'd like to try it when they fix this problem.
