Tuta has already been through some cases linked to German court orders to decrypt emails received in the inbox of alleged criminals, just like any other company that is subject to the legislation of its respective country (I don’t know the difference with Proton, which until now I only found out about the delivery of IPs, not the content of the emails themselves, based on Swiss court orders), but I don’t believe it is a honeypot because Tuta has clarified the entire issue and still has credibility in the privacy community.

Mailbox.org is closed source unfortunately and I believe the Client is too

UPDATE: Andy Reply
According to Andy’s logic, if Hitler were the president of some unfortunate country, we should differentiate the boss from his good nominees. Even using a company founded by an entire community to show a good evaluation made by one of its founders to give him a loving pat on the back and show the world that he is not completely bad as they think, but not meaning that the founder agrees with all his innocent actions, of course, such as disregarding the rights of many people around the world because they are just part of the democratic game.

I had discarded this option, so I was looking for other ways to communicate as I was unable to create a Gitlab account due to problems authenticating my bank details.
However, today I did it.
The issue has been created.
I managed to find a way by downloading the user profile that appears and copying it through the user profile manager to the user profile of the banking apps and, if it wasn’t available in any of the Aurora Store apps, I would prefer to use it on the spare smartphone that I have.
I never use dubious sources like this, especially banking apps.
But it’s good to know that there are people facing the same problem so that the developer can perhaps solve it.
By the way, does anyone know a way to contact him?
It’s not related to that. My language is the default of the system and I even tested others, but without success.
I’m from Brazil too and I also think it’s an unknown problem because I’ve had this experience before and I thought I wasn’t sure how to solve it but it seems like there’s really no solution. Just wait, although it’s been many days and nothing is going back to normal.
I’ve never seen this option. Where is it?
I’ve tried several anonymous ones (logging out and back in to sessions) and also in my personal account and nothing. It doesn’t work.
I’ve tried this a lot and it doesn’t work :(
I don’t use any of these services and the app I use to check network traffic, PCAPdroid, reports that it is “com.android.mtp”, the one in the screenshot. Seems legit to me.
“com.android.mtp”, I think so!
The amount of files transferred
Don’t you think it’s easier, due to inattention when installing a compromised app, a privilege escalation attack through root or actually an invasion due to the amount of bloatware from companies that take their piece of the pie in the Stock ROM (even though they do would cleaning via ADB) and even worse rooted to block these suspicious traffic be something more harmful for the user?
Because the ability to steal the decryption password in RAM memory due to the unlocked bootloader is a little less likely for the thief to have.
I use LineageOS and I feel much better, since my cell phone is Xiaomi, than using MIUI, which is from a chinese big tech company and has proprietary code.
AFAIK, Mailbox.org was once open source, but has not very recently become closed source. PrivacyGuides.org recommends it, as does Tresorit (encrypted cloud storage), for example, which is closed source and is one of the services I use. Providers that implement encryption, have been audited, have been on the market for years, and have a clean track record of security or privacy scandals, which there aren’t many of these types of services these days. But I personally don’t like them and try my best to avoid closed source softwares as well.
In conclusion, PrivacyGuides mostly recommends open source software but also recommends some that are not based on their features, reputation, security and maturity.
