SEO has essentially destroyed search engines, what are some very useful websites that you might not get given by Google?

I don’t have it on the promotional site right now, but here’s the breakdown:

  • Receive unlimited mail, 500MB storage: Free
  • Send unlimited mail*: $1/month
  • 2GB extra: $2/month
  • 10GB extra: $6/month
  • 20GB extra: $10/month
  • 100GB extra: $20/month
  • 1TB extra: $40/month

There are upcoming features that I haven’t done the market research and cost analysis for yet to determine pricing, but these are the features that are still in development:

  • Native mobile app (right now it’s a PWA): Free
  • IMAP/SMTP/CardDAV for third party clients and to import/export/sync: Undetermined price
  • Custom domain with unlimited addresses: Undetermined price
  • Additional users for you custom domain: Undetermined price

* The reason for charging $1/month to send email is so that spammers won’t use my service to send spam. A spammer is very unlikely to divulge their real payment information.

That sounds reasonable! Though personally, I definitely wouldn't use an e-mail service without IMAP support.

I feel you. Technically, the service is in a public beta test, only because I don’t have all the features complete yet.

I have the IMAP spec printed out in a binder at my desk. I have to write the server myself because of how Port87 works (I can’t just use an off-the-shelf server, like Dovecot). But I’m working hard to get IMAP support out soon! :)

PS: also, once I do write it, the IMAP server will be open source, just like the CardDAV server I’m working on.
