Working on a low cost email service. Ditched Gmail for my custom domains to avoid lock-in risks, and I believe devs really need stupid-cheap ($10/yr 5GB, unlimited mailboxes/domains/aliases/SMTP/IMAP/webmail) high-quality hosting that nails deliverability with zero spam tolerance. Bootstrapped this instead of pricier options like FastMail. Thoughts?

- zamalek 9mo agoI love the bare-bones landing page, many products have landed me as a customer due to that. Do you have IMAP import? And CardDAV/CalDAV? Edit: also wildcards?
- lzy 9mo agoThanks for your interest. IMAPsync migrations are supported. No CardDAV/CalDAV. For wildcards, do you mean catch all? If so, that is supported as well.
- abdullahkhalids 9mo agoI have thought about something like this, but what is the plan when law enforcement comes knocking and - asks you to hand over all information about certain customers. - accuses you of aiding the illegal activities happening through your service (copyright violations, CP, etc).
- KomoD 9mo agoHandle it like any other email service does?

- anavat 9mo agoYou may want to check out https://purelymail.com https://purelymail.com who are pretty close to your target pricing. I've been using them since forever and have no reasons to switch but it is always great to see more players in the niche!
- isaachinman 9mo agoInteresting! Just curious, if this is a completely greenfield project, why IMAP instead of JMAP? This is coming from someone who works with IMAP on a daily basis and has rightfully grown a disdain for it.
