I understand why you put in the drawbacks section, I know that kind of anti-marketing can work. But it's a little too honest - nobody wants to read that their emails might end up as junk mail. Maybe be a bit more vague. Or if you're not significantly worse than your competitors on that front it's a bit misleading if you're disclaiming it as a drawback. Also, when you open up a link in the menu as a new tab (via middl…

Thank you for the input! I see your point and thank you for it! Honestly, we're not trying to play any marketing tricks, but rather give all help possible in order to decide whether it works for the interesting parties. Surely, we've got to trim down and brush off a lot of things.

The mail going to junk is an unfortunate reality, there are never any guarantees with any mail service, and especially with new services. We've already had the big ones play muscles on us several times.

Thank you for reporting the new tab bug, will be fixed!

The webmail / ui demo is coming up too. Thank you for suggesting it!

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 &…

> The only thing I'd like to do in future is to do POP, SMTP, sorting and search in Emacs instead of through all those programs.

Have you given a try to mu4e? I've been using that for more than 5 years now and it is really great :).

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I couldn't figure how to apply the coupon though. It says that the coupon has been applied, but I am charged 48 usd for the Mini/Yearly plan.

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").

Which for someone with several hobby domains, but one person is fine... the standard tier isn't a huge expense either.

Also if that is a concern for you, a postfix server on a $5 digital ocean droplet will allow you to send any number of emails.

but what about their deliverability / spam score?

Sounded interesting, but it seems abit misleading to me.. The title says "unlimited" and the page says: > We do not count your domains, mailboxes, gigabytes or teeth. yet the pricing page says: > up to 100 outgoing emails per day Even the most expensive plan says 2000. I'm not saying it's unreasonable, but it's certainly not unlimited in that respect.

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.

Then it becomes my job to keep said system, anti-spam settings, etc updated... I don't want to do that work... Frankly if I didn't have to work for a living, I'd start a new open-source mail system that didn't suck.

I typically don't send more than 40 emails a day. But have several domains I would like to have email for... paying $10/address is a bit steep to say the least for that use case.

You get a dedicated IP only for you. Never had a problem in the past 2 years or so.

Here's my anti spam solution. I created an entire domain for it with a catch all address. When I sign up for a service I use service-name@domain.com, if I get a lot of spam I reject mail for that address at the server.

You are paying for convenience here.

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…

Sorry, but what changelog? Could you link here?
