How does this compare to Fast Mail or Proton Mail for general non encrypted use? For example how is the quality of their mobile apps, import/export features, etc?

The Android app's good, and available from F-Droid. And the features are solid. There's definitely room for improvement, but no glaring deficiencies in my experience.

To be specific though, their roadmap [1] includes "Import External Mailboxes into TutaNota", and I don't use their desktop client, so I'm not sure what export options are available there.

Tutanota is my first e-mail provider since deGoogling.

ProtonMail didn't have an integrated Calendar (at that time at least) and was more expensive. Fastmail is Australian which is a non-starter from a privacy perspective. Unironically written from the US. Also, more expensive to use your own domain.

Tutanota is €1/mo (billed yearly), lets me use my own domain, has a calendar, and is based in Germany.

Since using it, I realized without the Calendar scanning my Inbox and auto-adding flights and trips and birthdays, I don't use it as much. But I also haven't traveled much since March.

Definitely worth a look if privacy is a goal, and money is an object.

I have to say, i smiled a bit with protonmail (since I'm swiss), but Tutanota looks interesting and much cheaper/fairer 1GB for free is super nice..to put it mildly....maybe i shutdown my own email server someday.
