Hello,

First time I comment on Hacker News, but several years of silent reading :)

I wanted to find a mailbox where I feel at home in it, and keep my gmail as a secondary box.

I discovered mailbox.org this summer on Hacker News https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7864392

and decided to move with a custom domain :

1 euro per month, 12 euro per year, whereas fastmail asks for 40$ per year

I'm very happy, because :

- Mailbox Imap sync - Address book sync - Calendar sync

work great on my iPhone, and that was my functional priorities

I don't use the drive (100 Go) nor the GPG. I prefered gmail interface, because of habitude, but that's fine.

But I really appreciate to feel at home and alone, when I'm in my inbox :-)

Thank you, mailbox.org team :)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Correct. It's no longer free. I have it on an older domain, and it's still free, grandfathered in. I recently signed up with a new domain, and I'm paying for it on that domain.

If you sign into the admin panel of the grandfathered domain you can add the new domain to that Google Apps Account. Granted any settings will effect all the domains associated with that account.

You, sir, are a real hacker :)
