#3The same privacy preserving features of Tutanota enjoyed by privacy conscious individuals, make it ideal for fraudsters.
We experience a large number of fraudulent ecommerce orders using Tutanota email domains. I'm not shocked to think that this could be an example of an algorithm gone awry based on the signals it received.

Fraudulent ecommerce orders are the only time I've seen tutanota addresses in the wild.

It is not the job of an ISP to decide what is fraudulent and what is not. They should be a dumb pipe between services and people.

#7Three also have a transparent HTTP proxy, which breaks apt updates, so you have to manually replace http with https in your apt sources.list.

#8Slightly off topic, but I was with Three UK for a while. Reception was universally terrible, and trying to use mobile data was a joke.
This was in a small urban centre... called London. Would never, ever touch them again.
Back on topic, it seems that they are not using Bluecoat/Symantec Site review (which I suspect other providers do), which has the domain categorised correctly:

It's strange how cryptography, in mail or 'coins' is always leading to the same dilemma.

Ecommerce service itself should be using Tutanota if fraudsters want the most privacy benefits.
If not, Tutanota is like any other email provider, possibly with better privacy policy.
