Is Tuta a good alternative to gmail? (slrpnk.net)

I've been looking to switch from gmail to a different email provider that's more private. I've been hearing about Tuta, are there any drawbacks to it? Are there better options?

For a while I was planning on making the switch to protonmail but that's off the table now due to the recent events surrounding them.

My bad. Its been a while, but Thunderbird at one point. If I remember right there was an update relatively recently that made it much more difficult to import offline emails, so if you find a better alternative let me know.

Hmm, I wonder if Betterbird has solved that problem... I've actually only ever used webmail as I didn't understand the benefit of a desktop platform—until these (increasingly) privacy-invasive times!
