View original sourceMoved from Proton to Fastmail with their own domain in about two hours and everything works as before.
View original sourceSince 2011 and migrated a whole business from Google Workspace; real human support and opt-in features.
View original sourceGave up self-hosting mail for Purelymail at a flat $10 a year and has had no issues for a few months.
View original sourceMoved personal mail from a self-hosted server on Oracle Free Tier to mailbox.org and really likes the service.
View original sourceFinds Zoho overrated for free users who are tied to its web UI and apps.
View original sourceThey hit an irreversible Workspace configuration that Google documentation recommends and support could only tell them to start over.
View original sourceAfter a sole-admin lockout, a ticket from a separate trial account got access back in about five days.
View original sourceLoves the privacy but in year two finds Tuta's UI outdated, settings hard to navigate, frequent errors and offline status, and slow handling of requests.
View original sourceLeadership is moving from Microsoft 365 E5 to E3 after the new renewal quote, the only way to stay budget neutral.
View original sourcePays for both but won't renew Tuta, finding it full of friction and worrying about exporting mail.
View original sourceSays E5 is easier to manage per user and, when compared with what they ran before, cost less and delivered a little more.
View original sourceFaced a 40% increase on E3 renewals and clawed back 30% by buying separate licensing and letting existing ones lapse.
View original sourceEnterprise agreement renewal brings a significant increase for current SKUs, with discounts now offered to uplift to E7 in a pattern they expect to repeat.

View original sourceLocked out as sole admin, needed about 2.5 weeks and 21 support calls to reset the account.
View original sourceThey moved to Migadu for email after Mailbox.org did not fit multiple domains and users, and say it was exactly what they needed. They have separate mailboxes plus a catch-all burner domain and like the flexible admin panel and iOS IMAP support.

View original sourceUses Infomaniak, which offers many options, a good free tier and competitive pricing.
View original sourceHome Depot rejects fastmail.com addresses when registering or changing an account email, and Fastmail support could not get it unblocked.

View original sourceProton Unlimited user who loves Mail's features such as forwarding, auto-replies and SMTP setup.
View original sourceAs a premium customer found Tuta support horrendous with connection issues and no import on the Revolutionary plan.
View original sourceSearching mail in Tuta's mobile app was so slow they left for that reason alone.

View original sourcePurelymail is cheap for a home user, runs in the background and has never given a problem.
View original sourceUses Proton for email, VPN and calendar and it has been great.
View original sourceHappy with mailbox.org behind an alias relay, which makes migration simple.

View original sourceTuta blocked their account after they sent the same question to five language schools, flagged as spam.
View original sourceProton's Gmail sync retagged every already-forwarded email, and a paying customer is still waiting on support to undo it.

View original sourceOn a paid Tuta account had no email access for 4 days, little customer service response and several outages a year.

View original sourceCalls it ridiculous that scan-to-email through high-volume email now costs money instead of being free.
View original sourceNew Gmail connection lets them send from the Gmail address inside Proton while migrating to their own domain.
View original sourceNeeded time to find why high-volume email stopped, then scrambled for an account permitted to create the billing profile.
View original sourceSpent three months on a Priva ticket for output unlike the docs, then was told the product is unmaintained and closed.
View original sourceMicrosoft said it was probably a bug and then gave no response for three weeks.
View original sourceSpent a month with Microsoft support on Group mailbox replies failing 30-50% of the time, then was told it was by design.

View original sourceSwitched a business from Google Workspace to Fastmail during the 30-day trial and cancelled Workspace immediately.

View original sourceRuns about 50 custom domains on Fastmail smoothly; only complaint is the slow iOS app.
