Yup, confirmed, I am you.
The Tuta app kinda sucks, especially for searching, but I do that rarely enough that it's fine. It did annoy me a bit when I was traveling in Canada and needed to find my confirmation code for something (had to connect to their wifi, wait for emails to download, search, etc), but it got the job done. I love that I can just add another person to my plan for another €3 or whatever. I'm going to try to get my kids interested even if my wife isn't, and it's nice that I can just add a little at a time. With Proton, that would jump up to $15 for two users, $24 for my family (three kids). That's a lot more than Tuta, which is just €3/user/month, so my entire family would be €15/month ($17/month), and I don't need to get everyone on all at once (i would probably only add one or two at first).
So Tuta meets my basic needs, is priced very competitively, and the client is FOSS. I'm actually excited about some upcoming updates (looks like having the subject in the notification just landed, but hasn't hit F-Droid yet), and I love how their roadmap is very open.
That said, I do miss the UX of Proton. I just don't think that's worth more for fewer features I actually use. Hopefully that changes.
