    Topic/question that I don’t see commented on often: how are you guys finding the telling other people (verbally, out loud) about your email?

    I feel I could tell someone “at proton dot com” without having to spell it but in the UK I feel any way I try to pronounce tuta is going to result in me having to say “at tango uniform tango alpha dot com” or otherwise people will misunderstand and send me about a million messages at tutta, toota, Tuter, twitter, doota, or even more creative spellings.

      My provider (Onet) is a known Polish news outlet so I don’t have such issues at home, but whenever I’m abroad I just spell it out: “oh-en-ee-tee”.

      I bought a domain name and set it up on tuta to get an email address that I like. It was super easy to setup, tuta had created a video tutorial that showed how to setup a custom domain step by step.

      You can also change your email address to @pm.me which might be easier to say?
