Or pay in cash or crypto and don't use a recovery adress but recovery codes instead.
Nothing new here. It's the same issue for all mail providers. Proton is pretty clear about those issues and provides some solutions at least.

@LittlePolarBear @404mediaco @Tutanota And if you pay for Tuta with your credit card, Tuta will also provide those payment details when compelled by a court order.

The key, with either service, is to pay anonymously.

@LittlePolarBear @404mediaco @Tutanota How would Tuta have helped you here? You think they’re defying a court warrant on your behalf?
