AFAIK they’re the only decent email provider that offers a free account that allows a custom domain. I use the $1/month mail lite plan. It’s nice to have an option that doesn’t cost as much as Microsoft and Google for people that want email on a custom domain, but don’t need all the cruft (drive, apps, etc).

I work at inbox.eu. You can use it for free if you are ok with sending max 3 emails per day. You need to verify mobile phone or verify account via Telegram for free acounts. Also 9.99 EUR per year for premium account is one of the lowest prices available in the market from professional email providers :)

Do you have peering? Where are you hosted?

One more clear example that you don't need to be in SF to build a venture-scale SaaS

It's the only example I know. do you know any other example?

What’s “venture scale” mean? There are a lot of billion dollar SAAS outside of SV.

FWIW They do way more than email … it has been fascinaa sad to g to watch them grow over many years. Their initial devs were school dropouts.

Until recently I liked ZOHO. For the charity that I worked for, we built our website around ZOHO. They made us buy 7 licenses at the regular price, and that was a pretty tough arrangement for us. We only had one actual user. The rest were because a bunch of volunteers using one particular product. Zoho would not accept that fact. So we are a bigger part of that $1B than we like.

if the charity is a non-profit, you should look into https://techsoup.org

they have relationships with many software providers to get discounted non-profit pricing.

MSFT offers Office 365 @ $3/mo/user for their nonprofit tier

last i checked (about half a year ago), they didn’t support IPv6. a tired meme, but it actually has economic impacts on my self-hoster friends. almost all ISPs block the SMTP port, and it’s way cheaper (free, even) to get an unblocked IPv6 address than an IPv4 one just because of address exhaustion. so if i used Zoho i’d kinda be forcing them to pay more if they want to be able to reach me :/

I am Barath and I am a lead customer satisfaction engineer from Zoho Mail team.

We have been working on supporting IPv6 for a while now and are in the final stages of rollout. We will start supporting IPv6 for incoming email reception by this month, This will be rolled out in a phased manner and will be supported for all the accounts by the end of 2022.

Similarly for outgoing email relay, we expect the IPv6 support to be rolled out by the end of Q1 2023.

Regards, Zoho Mail

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I moved off Zoho when they dropped support for 'basic' email features like POP and IMAP access, which forces you to use their web or mobile app. I need unified inbox otherwise I will forget to check it.

What? I still use IMAP on free tier without issues. Is this only for new accounts? edit: Damn, I just read the sibling account. Kind of nervous now, I hope they won't drop this any time soon for grandfathered accounts.

Hello all,

As someone mentioned, our free plan doesn't support IMAP, POP and ActiveSync. But this was implemented only for newer accounts and the existing accounts which had the support earlier, continue to enjoy the features without any additional costs. So if your account was created earlier, you would have IMAP/ POP support without any issues.

Regards, ZohoMail

I just use domain forwarding to have my inbound emails to my custom domain address land in my plain old Gmail account, and outbound ones to forward to my domain. All the benefits of Gmail at no cost.

any tips on setting this up

Migadu is another awesome email solution. For my family and myself, we're on the "Micro" plan which works out to be 1.5 USD per month (but paid yearly). For smaller organizations and projects, we're on the "Mini" plan which is 9 USD per month. Super cheap, very reliable and easy to setup. Never had any issues in the years I've been using it. I'm not associated with them, just a happy user that wishes them all the bes…

I'm on migadu, but the problem remains the same: I can't find a decent email client.

Either the client is bundled with email, but then the email doesn't support multidomain and multi user (or have to pay for each, which is bad), or it's just not shared between web and android.

If I could solve this, I would be able to uninatall gmail, which right now I use uniquely as an email client.
