Is it possible and does it make sense to migrate old emails from GMail to Migadu?
Possible, yes (`imapsync` makes it easy). Does it make sense? Depends on you.

Looks like they are using Rainloop ( https://www.rainloop.net/ ) with a customized skin.
I'm a bit suprised: While Rainloop seems to the most modern opensource webmail client I could find (and I did do some research), from their github: _This is NOT a stable version of RainLoop Webmail. It's not recommended to use in production environment._ From my own testing there are certainly still a few bugs. Interesting they go with this for their primary webmail.
If they are using the AGPL community version of Rainloop, that might also pull in some obligations they aren't meeting.
AGPL is pretty viral, even for a web app.

#73Anyone here used Fastmail but migrated to this service, and able to provide a more detailed comparison? I'm happy with Fastmail, but Migadu's pricing is very appealing...
I would put Migadu more in the hobby category...they seem pretty upfront about their drawbacks: https://www.migadu.com/en/drawbacks.html If you have a domain where those drawbacks aren't showstoppers, you might also look at Yandex hosted email. Can't beat the price (free), it has decent storage (10GB) and the limit for sending is 500/day[1]. See: https://domain.yandex.com/domains_add/ [1] https://yandex.com/support/m…
There's also zoho.com that offers free mailboxes with custom domains.

This is good. What I meant is that you have to check your IP reputation by yourself, while this provider does it for you (if I understand correctly), hence an extra charge
Beware that Digital Ocean blocks all traffic for outbound SMTP on floating IPs: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/floating-ip... This pretty much breaks the entire usecase, as you cannot build an IP reputation.
Floating IP's are not the same as the dedicated IP you get from the VM itself. I've been sending outbound on that for the better part of 2 years.
To the other point, if you have a problem with spam scores, you are probably sending too much mail for this sort of solution (consider Mailgun 10,000 emails/month for free). For an individual it is fine, not for use as a mailing list. A clean IP address (every IP I've ever tried was clean), DKIM, and SPF will allow you to hit pretty much anybody. It might take a few people pulling you out of spam on gmail before you can send to them, but I think that's true of any new mailserver.

#75This is how I do email: - Use my domain providers 1GB mailbox. - IMAP on the phone, POP3 on the PC. - I'm currently not subscribed to any high-volume mailing lists, and won't unless I'm a very active contributor. The only lists I follow is the announce lists from GNU, OpenBSD and FreeBSD. You don't need to subscribe in order to post to many email lists. - Pop my mail into my computer, use procmail to check for spam &…
I like this setup. I've done something similar with POP3 on both PC and mobile: PC downloads and archives mail, but is configured not to delete it from the server for a month. Phone never deletes from the server, and at least has access to the most recent month of email, which is usually enough while mobile.
I'm intrigued by the idea of IMAP on the phone though. Are you able to sync sent mail this way? If you send mail from mobile, will the PC client get a copy of it?

#76I think one of the things I appreciated most about this service is the drawbacks[0] section. I've started to look for this section in major JS frameworks[1] as well as other SASS/PASS services when I'm evaluating them and I've found them all immensely helpful.

#77Is there any plan to support two-factor authentication?

#78It was very easy to setup. I like the interface. My only complaint is the annoying signature that I can't figure out how to remove[0]. It doesn't appear to be listed in the settings.

#79Interestingly, they use the Nodejs-based Haraka MTA instead of a more conservative choice like Postfix or Exim. I wonder what exact advantages they traded in more mature and certainly not much less performant software in for? A very good and even cheaper alternative to this service I can recommend is mailbox.org, run by German IT service specialist Heinlein. They deliver a full OpenXchange setup (mail, calendar, cont…
Not sure what your idea of "not much less performance" is. When craigslist switched from postfix to Haraka they went from 20 email servers down to 7 for the same load.

Seems to be mandatory on the free plan: https://www.migadu.com/en/pricing.html (search for signature) in there.
