Aliases
I want to ask Runbox to change the limit in words to create an alias, it should be possible to create an alias with only 2 or 3 letters, but now it´s impossible.
Can you change it, please?. Thanks a lot. |
I think you meant two or three letters. I second that request.

We don't allow short usernames or aliases on the @runbox.* domains because they attract spam and make it easier for hijackers to access your account.
However, if you use your own domain, you can have aliases with one character or more. |
Maybe that´s true with 1 or 2 words, but with 3 words?... I don´t think so.
You know that there are many more possibilities to create aliases with 3 words but we can´t do it now. Quote:

Well, another reason to think about moving to another email service offering 2FA, 3 words in main account/aliases, etc.. Maybe posteo.de
Promises from long time ago and not facts, even a kid offering an email service like openmailbox is doing more things and alone with few money, and listening the people when something is suggested. |

Setting up a single server that does email is one thing. When you have 50-100 servers doing one email system, then that is totally different thing. And you need a lot of servers with separation of services if you plan on building something that has high availability and can scale. Posteo looks like a very interesting email provider with many similar values to us. Kim |
You are right, it´s not the same.
But RB could learn a lot from Posteo and even from that kid. Yes, it´s not the same but if you want to work in something and promise something then we can´t wait years. I think it´s not asking too much for 3 words in aliases and I don´t think it´s something against security or difficult to do. About the rest of things promised all this time... I hope it will not be done some years later. Quote:

You know what they say: "You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar."... This is true. I suggest you compose them a beautiful song and serenade it to them. Either that or create well structured posts that mention the pros and cons of a particular change. After that, try to make them see that the pros severely out-weight the cons. |
You are absolutely right 17pm :(
I am sorry if my posts were agressive, please forgive me. I love RB but sometimes I was expecting so much more and I was dissapointed, nothing more. Do you know how to delete my profile/account?. Thanks |

Regarding OpenMailBox it is more about hacking things together and getting it to work. He has gotten very far doing that and I am very much impressed about what he has built alone. But if his infrastructure is still the same as he described earlier, then he has some way to go to build something that will scale and be available over time.. Runbox is a much different animal in the sense we are very risk averse as we handle one of the most important assets of our customers. There is a lot of process to make sure nothing bad or unexpected happens. Quote:

Also, what projects? :P I think you guys should talk about the storage space in your next meeting... Currently, there are better alternatives than Runbox... Take a look at FastMail. Their second tier account is the same price as Runbox' mini account (in euros atleast).. They offer 3 times more email storage than Runbox! (5gb vs 15gb). They offer 10 times more file storage (500mb vs 5gb)! Not sure if it's viable for Runbox to upgrade the storage space, but I think it's important to look at one of the best e-mail providers in the world and try to learn something from them.. I think upgrading the storage space would make an increase in the number of customers.. I think that increase would be more than enough to support the increase in storage space, which would be in favour of RB's objectives... I have no data to support my statement though. PS: I think hal9000 was talking about his emaildiscussions' account. |
It was in this forum, not in RB. And I have been answered in another thread. No problem. Thanks.
