The premium email services I had used
Do you have any experience on paid email to share? Thanks. |

I currently use G Suite and Outlook 365 at work, and both are excellent for business use. Not sure their complications are worth it for the average person who just wants email at their own domain. In my experience regular Gmail and G Suite offer the best antispam and phishing measures of any service, and Outlook 365 is close. If you want the utmost security and reliability use one of these. Business grade.
For individuals wanting email at their own domain I would recommend Fastmail or Pobox.com, which are both excellent services. I have used both and can recommend them. Others I have tried briefly and do not recommend include MXroute, Migadu, Porkbun, Zoho and Namecheap. Porkbun and Namecheap provide inexpensive and simple email setup if you host your domains with them, but the webmail is simplistic and not very good. You are required to use a third-party app to access via your phone. Migadu just never updates. Their service seems OK, but lacks 2FA security for the webmail, which is just basic security level these days. Zoho is interesting, but seems to suffer from fairly frequent performance issues. They are so focused on their business suite that I suspect their email is overkill for most people. |

I have used LuxSci in the past and I have to say their service was solid. It was a package included a back-up of all emails, a back-up from which emails couldn't even be deleted (which I liked, although I can see not everyone would like that) and this back-up of the emails had a seperate log-in from the email account itself. I was pleased with their service, but I opted to not pay for email anymore since I already spend money on domain names (for which there is no solid free alternative, unlike email), hosting, ...
I've used Fastmail back when it was still free, I liked it but find their pricing a bit high so I opted not to switch to the paid service. PS Jeffpan: instead of dropping your accounts with Zoho and mail.de alltogether, why not switch to the free version so that you can keep your accounts? |

I in fact didn't submit even one ticket to mxroute, so I dont know if their support is good or bad. I just found their reseller hosting system is very easy to setup, so I praise this. If mxroute have canceled my account, or stop their service, I will migrate the service to my dedicated server at OVH, with mail-in-a-box to setup a new hosting. I am faimiliar with email server, but even mail-in-a-box is complicated to make everything work fine. Relatively speaking mxroute is easy to setup the whole stuff. regards. |

It is matter of their IP and MX record.
where Zoho is treated as Junk mail. G Suite and office 365 or Fastmail has a good score for Spam. |

A very interesting thread. I haven't has a premium account, since.... back in the dial up days. I guess I could include as premium my first non-dail up ISP account. A simple POP3 server with very limited storage, basically an old style POP account.
All the accounts I have now are free ones. That said... I am thinking over getting a premium account or at least dumping those services that keep putting legit emails in the junk file. |

If you have service with me and you're at all unhappy about it feel free to talk to me about it. You can use your MXroute billing account login at chat.mxroute.com and reach out to me directly anytime. I'm of the opinion that this would be more productive than citing a single post by a user in 2018 as evidence of anything significant. Of course you can find others with opinions to share along the same lines, but there's two sides to every story. Example: https://www.trustpilot.com/users/5d9...e7683c5227754c What you're saying about "the possibility of one or more of your free users being responsible for loss of service" is simply not true, and I'd appreciate not spreading inaccurate information about me. I've gone out of my way to both accommodate forwarding and make it known to end users that forwarding has limitations imposed by companies that I (nor any other email provider, regardless of how silent they are on the matter) cannot control. If any of jeffpan's users present an issue for me I'll randomize their password and reach out to him. Whatever I've done to upset you, let's talk about it.

The only complaint I hear about email forwarding these days would be every couple months someone wonders why they didn't get a yahoo email forwarded to their Gmail, which is what i have proven in the above linked posts is physically impossible due to a decision made by Yahoo (to use reject in their DMARC record) and Google (to respect DMARC over SRS).
