Our entire team is working hard to improve Tutanota. Some fixes can be done quickly like the one reported 5 days ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/tutanota/comments/sk9mnu/date_in_circle/ Some improvements take a bit longer: We are working on offline mode & we've got a working prototype! Yet, the data cashed is not yet encrypted. As we build the most secure email service, we need to make sure that this data is also encrypted before we can release offline mode. We trust that you agree with us & thank you for your patience and support! 🙏🙏😊

"Our country is now held together with goodwill and sticky tape. As successive Conservative governments have ripped up society with austerity, privatisation, Brexit and disaster capitalism, we survive because
frontline workers and volunteers go way beyond the call of duty."

I've been developing software for well over 25 years now, but spend at least half the day staring at my monitor without having the slightest idea what I'm actually doing here.
