If anyone needs a good example of the: 1. click bait title 2. primitive advertisement, all in one place, this article is a great example.
Was Gmail banned in Denmark schools? Obviously not, there is some regulation in one of the counties and it was about chromebook usage because of some privacy concerns. One. County.
Article is written by a company which is a direct competitor of Gmail (they are email service too) and are apparently searching for some topic they can use to get some publicity. Nothing bad in itself, but lies are lame.
And no, nobody is going to switch from Gmail to tutanota, because nobody wants mediocre user interface, be unable to search emails and force others to use some particular service to decrypt emails.
Even with encrypted emails, that's just the beginning of the privacy story. If I am sending encrypted email to Bin Laden or to abortion clinics it does not help much that the content is encrypted.
Is Gmail your idea of a good user interface? How many ordinaty people can setup filters to direct email from a prticular sender to a particular folder? Why can't I right click on an email and add it to a specific rule?
"be unable to search emails"
The mobile Gmail app fails at search, if my latest email has a word in it, typing in that word into searchbar returns nothing. I had to switch to outlook, ironically
"Even with encrypted emails, that's just the beginning of the privacy story."
I can get bank statements or medical records by post, they are confidential and are accepted by every court in the land.
I can't get a bank statement by email and every email will be subject to 'is this real, did he really send it'. Its bear i possible to prove.
Yeah, actually. Mail storage/search is not a solved problem. I recently trained an executive assistant to use ediscovery tools because the person she supports has too many mails to be indexed.
Do yourself a favor and delete as much as possible before it all runs away from you. Stop using email as a system of record now or you will really wish you did later on. Sounds like you might have crossed that point recently.
Do you keep your paper bank statements directly in your mailbox or do you move them to a filing cabinet? Likewise, you should download your records from the bank's site and store them in a real filesystem, not some subfolder of your inbox.
That's what retention and archive and document management sytems are for. Even my FOIA-able government clients are able to keep their mailboxes manageable.
& you might actually be surprised. I used to have an insurer on my roster that ran all policyholder emails through a pdf printer into their DMS and that apparently was good enough for the courts to accept as policyholder statements.
