Additional context
I was trying to figure out why my screensaver wouldn't start. I went to Activity Monitor and filtered processes to show "Preventing Sleep". I killed 2 processes that had "Yes" under "Preventing Sleep". These were "powerd" and "WindowServer". After I killed "WindowServer" my Mac restarted. Everything on computer works fine except I can't login to Tuta. I completely uninstalled Tuta. And reinstalled latest version. And restarted Mac again. I am still getting the same error. I even went into the mobile app and X'd out my Mac session. I even try to just remove the account and get the same error. So I can't remove account and can't login. It doesn't prompt to enter password but just keeps giving this error.

Found similar bug on reddit.

https://www.reddit.com/r/tutanota/comments/1agb9co/error_could_not_log_in_via_app/

And followed the instructions...

"Thanks for reporting. It looks like there is an issue with the locally cached data for Tuta. Please delete the directory: ~/.config/tutanota-desktop and then launch the desktop client and try to log in again.

You can also run this command to delete this directory:

rm -r ~/.config/tutanota-desktop"

However there is no tutanota file in that directory.
