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.

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. 😊
