Gandi Email Hosting
Has anyone here used Gandi's email hosting service long enough to have a sense of its viability as one's primary email host. (This would just be for personal email, not for a business.)

Yes, more than 1 year and it works great. I prefer roundcube, even with less options (but simpler) than the new SoGo platform.

It looks very nice, and more up to date than Roundcube, but from my initial tests of SOGo I think it is more limited to use than Roundcube. For instance, to create an alias for sending in SOGo, I couldn't find an option to do so - it may be there but if it is it's not obvious to me. Another point to consider is the lack of 2FA on both Roundcube and SOGo webmail. |

Yes, that´s bad about the lack of 2FA but anyway you can add 2FA in the gandi.net domain login and if something happens to your email account you can enter from there to change your webmail password anytime. |

So effectively, in addition to administering the domain, you also administer the e-mail account(s) for the domain and so exercise control in that way. |

What is the size of Gandi's inboxes?
Do they indicate the date and time of previous log-ins in the webmail? (I find that quite important) I also have been thinking about Gandi for email, I know their domain registration service has a very good reputation but I never read a lot of details about the webmail service you can add to the shopping cart. |

I don't think it gives you those logs, but I only use Roundcube (something easy with my email) or Thunderbird. I must check SoGo... |

Sorry, it doesn't indicate the date and time of previous log-ins in the webmail. It hasn't logs to check.
See Gandi email service with your domain as something easy and with few options. But as I said: if you have some problem you could contact support to recover your emails lost (I think it's possible but not 100% sure) and you could login to your domain with 2FA and then change the password. Because gandi email doesn't offer 2FA (a pity). Last edited by edu : 24 Dec 2017 at 04:09 AM. |
