It 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. [0] https://i.imgur.com/512ZG2F.png

This seems to be on the free plan only (see pricing plan). Which makes sense to me - if you're not paying, you might as well be advertising.

While looking through I noticed this from the latest changelog post: > Until the end of November, you can use the discount code NOVEMBERRAIN to get 50% off any Migadu plan, permanently. Offer is valid only for new upgrades. $2 per month is pretty good, or it makes the 'standard' plan roughly the same as non-discounted 'mini'. Not entirely sure yet where you enter this code so I sent them a question. --edit Very quick…

For the people struggling with the coupon code, here's what I did.

Sign up for the monthly version of the mini plan. You will be charged $5. Then enter the coupon code in the coupons tab from the left pane. You can then immediately upgrade to the annual version of the plan. You will be charged $19 brining the total to $24 for one year (the half off price). It should save the trouble of paying full price for a year and sending an email for the manual refund.

This 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 ma…

> 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?

Nope, I use phone mostly to browse mail, and send from there if and only if inevitable. And if the sent mail is too important to keep, I BCC myself and sort it out on the PC later. If your mail provider saves sent mail, I guess you could just fetch that; mine doesn't. Also I guess depending on your phone MUA, maybe you could fetch it from its storage. WRT IMAP, I just use it like POP3 w/ keep on, used it b/c was easier to set up. Phones are incredibly inconvenient for typing anything that's not a whatsapp blurb, so I mostly use it that way.

It seems smart to keep the mail on the server for a while, I'd be glad to know how you do that.

I contacted their support and got several replies very quickly. Looks like they kind of slapped together the coupon thing. You can't apply the coupon until after you switch to a paid plan, so it doesn't take affect until the next billing cycle. But Dejan from Migadu was really helpful, and I expect they'd refund half of your first bill if you want it.

Yeah, I contacted the support and I got quick reply from Dejan that they will refund half of the bill. I just noticed that the support email was marked as spam by outlook.com (weird, since I'd already marked the invoice and other emails from Migadu as "Not Spam").

Yeah outlook is doing the same to me, keeps marking migadu emails as spam despite corrections as well as from my newly-setup-on-migadu domain.

Just upgraded to paid though, hoping it'll sort itself out in time.

Ah, that explains it. Thanks.

Hi, thank you for your comments. It depends how you look at it. All email services have limits. However, the limits we set are more as a protection for ourselves and our users. We have to deal with spammers, phishing attacks etc. We diversify based on the actual, realistic needs of the organisation. For instance, a startup of 3 would not need to send 500 emails a day, that is a clear red flag. In practice we have yet…

I like this line of thinking! Not-really-obstructive limits that prevent abuse.

I'm glad they list the limits clearly. Other e-mail services have similar limits by nature but you only find out when you hit them.

Is there any plan to support two-factor authentication?

Hi, not at the moment, but we will bring it up for discussion! May I ask why do you consider it a worthy addition? Thank you!

I think the benefits of two factor authentication are pretty obvious.

As another commenter said above, email security is crucial given the number of sites and services that rely on email for password resets.

I can't imagine switching to an email provider that didn't use 2FA for that very reason.
