Hello, I am thinking on which email provider to use as an alternative for Gmail.
I don’t expect E2EE because I know nobody who uses either Tutanota or Proton Mail personally. I just want an alternative to Gmail, where I can message people I know who use Gmail securely.
EDIT: I have chosen my email provider as Proton Mail because I can send encrypted emails not only to people using Proton Mail, but to people who don’t too, which I feel is better.

Thanks for the link!
It seems that Proton Mail is better for my use case. I’ll keep my Tutanota account as a backup then.
I am not willing to pay for a service atm

If by ”backup” you mean “infrequently used”, be careful about using Tutanota for that purpose - it will delete free accounts after 6 months of inactivity.
Personally I use Proton for my mail needs but then Tutanota for my calendar. Perhaps something you could consider so your Tutanota account doesn’t get deleted.
Please consider at least a low cost service, it really raises the quality of the service a lot if it’s even $1 a month like Posteo or $2 like Migadu. You get a lot of genuinely useful features (unlike super-hyped services like Proton) and it removes any incentive to exploit or upsell you.

No, Tutanota does not use PGP
