I just completed my email migration away from Gandi this weekend. I figured if I had to really start paying for it, I might as well get something better than their offering or move to something cheaper. If I'm paying ~$4/mo per user, it really starts to seem worth it to spring to something that offers a lot more for similar pricing. Then there's lots of services out there which offer cheaper prices with more features. For truly just a basic mailbox <$1/account can make some sense, but basic email only for that price is crazy steep.

I ended up migrating to Zoho. It took about an hour getting accounts set up, DNS records changed, and data migrated. Importing data through IMAP went really smoothly. I probably could have gotten by on the free tier but a few family users didn't want to use the apps and preferred the Exchange ActiveSync functionality to have a more system-native experience on platforms like Android and Windows.

So far, so good.

I've been using mxroute to host some email for my family and random automation stuff for the past while.

Really happy with them, I'm paying 15 USD a year on a recurring black Friday deal. I think that has 50GB storage, which is fine for my usecase.

They have unlimited mail accounts, which is great, as some family members might only send or receive a handful of emails a month...

Another option is Purely Mail [0] which is who I'll be using if running my own Mail-in-a-box turns out to be a bit too much. It could end up being cheaper than mxroute depending on your needs.

Looks like a great option too, thanks.
