They don't use PGP.

Tutanota is end and encrypted between different users of tutanota. But any external email you send or receive is unencrypted. They do have an option to send an encrypted link to the other party, but that's cumbersome.

The big thing about this mail service, is the data is stored at rest encrypted with your key. So once it's received clear text, it's encrypted and stored on the disk only with your key. After that they can't decrypt it.
