Hi,

I have not checked again, but can tell you from the past that they check
what web browser you are using, because when you use an anti-fingerprint
add on for your browser and it generates a User Agent string with an 
(old)
unsupported browser Tutanota complains and tells you to use the latest
Browser  x,y,z. If they do it any longer or if they do full 
fingerprinting I do
not know.

I guess Tutanota is a fine service, like many others, but I would like 
to
see Monero cryptocurrency support, when one likes to sign up via Tor.
(have not checked lately if this is already possible)
