![]() Maybe it would be worth me setting myself and my wife up with an account somewhere decent and forwarding the rest of the families emails to somewhere else ![]() Does anyone know if you can mix standard and gift accounts on a domain at EuMX? i.e. can my wife and I sign up for a standard accounts and the other 2 members of the family have gift accounts? |

You can set up aliases and forwards yourself, without contacting support. You just can't do accounts. It's a little wonky in that you need to edit and upload text files rather than point and click, but it's not difficult.

Coming from tuffmail I switched a year ago. Some of the comments are right: - better anti spam at tuffmail, eumx could do better here most of the time - better reliability of service at tuffmail (eumx having from time to time a network provider issue) - similar if not better customiseability at EUMX, but not everything through the web interface (some of the customising stuff you just ask support) - as austere if not more austere then tuffmail - cheaper then tuffmail - as responsive support as tuffmail in the John days |

The good thing about eumx is: ask and you shall get. They are the most accommodating email provider I have experienced. I'm pretty sure if you are a family using for family use (not blasting emails) and you ask them nicely they'll just add a few boxes.

Some systems don't use a regular filesystem to store email, they store emails as records in a SQL database. Way better than Maildir, especially for searching and sorting. Perhaps EuMX is going in that direction. I think Runbox does that in RMM6.

![]() I too have been a long time user of Tuffmail. I have tons of aliases, some domains, minor Sieve scripts, and so on. The account management tools are almost as complete as running my own email server. I cringe at the thought of changing.
Which, of all the different services mentioned, will provide a flexible and robust set of management tools with all the MX capabilities? Arggggg Mike Edit: FWIW Rollernet.us is very flexible and has ActiveSync (located in US for US users). Cost not that far out of line. Runbox.com not as technical, no ActiveSync yet, cost competitive. They have a migration tool; not sure about Rollernet. May try Rollernet. Edit 2: Update Gotta stay with Tuffmail. I look at all the features I use and sorta take for granted and try to find something to take its place and am unable to find anything with everything. Besides, John is back!

I'm shocked they're still in business. I was a very happy customer many years ago, but lost confidence when the ownership changed, so I jumped ship... amazed that it's still going, but not surprised that the SSLlabs report is not great. But I will gladly admit that Tuffmail had the very unusual qualities of incredible granular control over your accounts. That always impressed me... very tough to find a service that comes close to the breadth of backend features these days.

![]() FWIW, I have been told that John is returning and does have some improvements in mind.

Interesting. Do you have any more details to share? When, for example?
