🎉📣 Say hello to less spam thanks to Tuta's new & improved spam filters! 📣🎉

Tuta is rolling out client-side filtering that learns individually, specific to your mailbox & how you yourself classify email as spam or not spam.

More: https://tuta.com/blog/tuta-improved-spam-filters

Because of this, it gets better over time as you report mistakes.

To make sure your mailbox sorts emails correctly, please 👉

Click “Report spam” for unwanted emails in your inbox.
Click “Not spam” for emails that were wrongly placed in Spam.
Moving emails into or out of the Spam folder also trains the system.

@Tutanota

I am a paying subscriber of several years for tutamail and I am also an antispeciesist vegan

I like tutamail because of the commitment to renewable energy[1] and quantum resistant encrypted private emails; put the two together and there is nothing else like it I can think of.

I have a suggestion - I noticed that the junkmail folder is called "Spam" and features an icon of a bug.

"Spam" is a speciesist phrase as I outline in this short post
https://veganism.social/@ambiguous_yelp/115878036888467050

and "Bug" to symbolize a pest/error is speciesist as I explained in this short post
https://veganism.social/@ambiguous_yelp/115970417941403799

My suggestion is to rename this folder to "Junkmail" or equivalent and change the icon to perhaps a crossed circle icon or an exclamation mark or a halt hand gesture or if you wanted to be jokey about it a toilet

If there was a more appropriate place to submit this feedback I couldn't find it

@Tutanota

I hope it learns and gets better because it's been putting ALL my mail into spam for the last few days which has been annoying.

@Tutanota Tuta Mail is almost perfect, but I miss PGP key integration. While searching, I found that PGP integration was on the roadmap on the Tuta Mail site, but now I can't find it anymore. Does this mean Tuta is no longer planning to add it?

@Tutanota when can I stop reviewing spam so that I can benefit from the ostensible purpose of this facility?

[tutanota@mastodon.social]

@crcollins HI! Please make sure you move these emails into your inbox. It should get better.

[privacyfriendly@mastodon.social]

@Tutanota I love to see TutaMail and Calendar get better day by day! 😄 I really hope that Spam Filtering will get even better.

[privacyfriendly@mastodon.social]

@Tutanota Also Tuta, I would like to ask: Do you have any plans on a Visual/UI improvement? To make it look more modern?

[nazokiyoubinbou@urusai.social]

@ambiguous_yelp @Tutanota I do want to add to this that I found the bug indicator to be very confusing even in a non-speciest kind of way. "Bug" is already a term in computing that colloquially means something else and has sort of expanded in tech in general to mean that specific thing. So an icon of a bug to indicate anything else is definitely confusing.

How about an icon of a letter with smell lines coming off it. That's fun and meaningful. 😆

"Junk mail" might actually make more sense just in general terms anyway. It's possible some people won't get the old "spam" reference (especially among those for whom English is not a first language,) but everyone is likely to get "junk mail" intuitively.

[tutanota@mastodon.social]

@privacyfriendly Thank you for your kind words! Thanks to the new spam roll out, it should!

[crcollins@writing.exchange]

@Tutanota

That's what I keep doing. *fingers crossed*
