Have any of you heard up Posteo being flagged unprofessional? I recently heard someone say that I am curious if there is truth to it.

People said Gmail was unprofessional in 2005, don't worry too much about what business majors think.

It isn't a good move.

A domain name can cost as little as £10, similarly most email services cost ~£5-£15 per person per month. Its normally pretty easy to link a domain to an email provider and doesn't cost anything other than time.

If a company can't be bothered to implement the most basic online branding people will make their assumptions and some will filter your company out because of it. With the cost to implement so low (e.g. £160 per year), even the loss/gain of a single customer would justify it.

That's great and all, for tech sectors, but I'm not going to judge Joe's Landscaping or Carol's Cupcakes for using Gmail and quite frankly Joe and Carol are probably better off missing out on those clients.
