Tuta🎉📣 Say hello to less spam thanks to Tuta's new & improved spam filters! 📣🎉
Tuta is rolling out client-side filtering that learns individually, specific to your mailbox & how you yourself classify email as spam or not spam.
Because of this, it gets better over time as you report mistakes.
To make sure your mailbox sorts emails correctly, please 👉
Click “Report spam” for unwanted emails in your inbox.
Click “Not spam” for emails that were wrongly placed in Spam.
Moving emails into or out of the Spam folder also trains the system.
C. R. Collins 🌳 🐸I hope it learns and gets better because it's been putting ALL my mail into spam for the last few days which has been annoying.
@crcollins HI! Please make sure you move these emails into your inbox. It should get better.
That's what I keep doing. *fingers crossed*

I like tutamail because of the commitment to renewable energy[1] and quantum resistant encrypted private emails; put the two together and there is nothing else like it I can think of.
I have a suggestion - I noticed that the junkmail folder is called "Spam" and features an icon of a bug.
"Spam" is a speciesist phrase as I outline in this short post
https://veganism.social/@ambiguous_yelp/115878036888467050
and "Bug" to symbolize a pest/error is speciesist as I explained in this short post
https://veganism.social/@ambiguous_yelp/115970417941403799
My suggestion is to rename this folder to "Junkmail" or equivalent and change the icon to perhaps a crossed circle icon or an exclamation mark or a halt hand gesture or if you wanted to be jokey about it a toilet
If there was a more appropriate place to submit this feedback I couldn't find it

I'm reposting something from a couple of months ago to add a list of better words to say at the end The word "spam" meaning to flood a place with unwanted messages comes from a carnist joke made by Monty Python in which the capitalist product Spam is mythologized as an archetypal unwanted worthless repetition. A murder victims body reduced to a literal throw-away joke depicting their mangled corpse as nothing more than a nuisance. The company that killed them "Spam company" is remembered more readily than the victim some alternative words you could consider: slop (n.), flood (v.) gibberish (n.) junkmail (n.) solicit (v.) solicitations (n.) offtopic (adj.) disrupt (v.) disruption (n.) #Speciesism #Carnism #MontyPython #Spam
Nazo@ambiguous_yelp @Tutanota I do want to add to this that I found the bug indicator to be very confusing even in a non-speciest kind of way. "Bug" is already a term in computing that colloquially means something else and has sort of expanded in tech in general to mean that specific thing. So an icon of a bug to indicate anything else is definitely confusing.
How about an icon of a letter with smell lines coming off it. That's fun and meaningful. 😆
"Junk mail" might actually make more sense just in general terms anyway. It's possible some people won't get the old "spam" reference (especially among those for whom English is not a first language,) but everyone is likely to get "junk mail" intuitively.
@nazokiyoubinbou @ambiguous_yelp Hey! Thanks for sharing this feedback, we will bring it up with our team. 😊
@Tutanota I love to see TutaMail and Calendar get better day by day! 😄 I really hope that Spam Filtering will get even better.
@Tutanota Also Tuta, I would like to ask: Do you have any plans on a Visual/UI improvement? To make it look more modern?
@privacyfriendly Yes, our teams are working to improve the UI of Tuta Mail and Calendar! Stay tuned for nice improvements.
HyperAndRomeDa ✨@Tutanota @privacyfriendly I really like the sound of that! Thanks Tuta!
@privacyfriendly Thank you for your kind words! Thanks to the new spam roll out, it should!

moopet@Tutanota here's my drive-by feedback -
Positive: I like that you have a "not spam" button now. Much more consistent than dragging back to the inbox, and inspires confidence that it's doing something.
Negative: I've been marking these as spam by clicking the button every day for a while now. They're all from the same email address, have the same subject and body, but nothing appears to be "learning" yet - they all arrive in my inbox.
@Tutanota this is definitely MUCH worse than it used to be. I am getting dozens of spam emails every day with exactly the same sender, subject and body and marking them as spam has no effect - they still come straight to my inbox. A month ago I'd get spam in my inbox maybe a couple of times a week.
Whatever you've done, it's not learning anything.
