Good ol' Tor.

Sounds like how Protonmail works. I have a Protonmail email  
account too, but no one to play with.  

Tutanota seems a little different because it offers a desktop  
app to operate and is not just limited to a webby interface like  
Protonmail, for the desktop.  But I like the idea of  
"portability" with using the webby interface when I am at  
another pc.

But it is still a bit too easy for the computer illiterate  
people to accidentally disclose content.

This article has a nice comparison chart across the different  
comms programs.

No need.  I think our PGP/GPG solution is quite good.
