Should I point the MX & SPF record to your server?

After you add your new Domain it will tell you to:

Please add the following DNS records to verify your ownership and activate the domain [your-domain-name].

And gives you exactly what you need to add to your DNS:

TXT @ cloudcone-verification=[your-verification-code]
TXT @ v=spf1 include:relay.cloudcone.email ?all
MX @ 1 alt1.cloudcone.mx
MX @ 5 alt2.cloudcone.mx

And after you add the info you need to [VERIFY] it.

So look for that.

relay through mailchannels.net, not using their own ip. Remind me the old "mxroute"

One week seems rather short for a beta period on a product like this.

@cloudcone the name input boxes don't allow characters like ú. I won't change my name to fit the boxes

Also, it took me a while to see the link to the webmail. It should be more noticeable

And finally, I can't change password: Error 500 on ajax/email

@Cloudcone
I can't enter my name in most places as it has an apostrophe.

This is big for me:
I am so used to using Email with threads, SoGo doesn't have it and it feels very difficult to use it. (RoundCube probably does this better). Please don't ask me to download a mail client.

I would like to add a different CNAME not just use what I have used for the email.

My own logo doesn't seem to work.

The design is nice and consistent.

I currently use: https://businessemail.rediff.com/ (Their UI is outdated but does the job and is cheap)

If you are referring to white labeling the mail client, yes it's possible.

We will get it fixed within the next 24 hours

Well, threaded support, yes I do agree! We will be adding more mail clients to choose from

Thank you for all the signups and feedback so far

Full whitelabeling, including DNS records.

Send to gmail work well, end in inbox within few seconds.

Send to hotmail/outlook, end in junk Email folder.

Nice webmail interface and very responsive.

Any chance to set up disk quota for each accounts?

Better to not use it! Is my opinion

Why. Explain.

beta only a week? is a good reason. I set it up and and send/receive. It has a calendar.

Looks good so far for simple sending/receiving mails. I'm trying to find a setting to have mail reading pane below the message list. Is there any such setting?

Well, you can add CNAME to our hostnames and should be fine also, branding works with your own logo + SSL on your custom hostname (was pushed to beta 4 days ago)

Can be done. We will consider this before prod. launch

Thanks for the feedback You mean similar to Roundcube? I doubt SoGo offers it, however, we are adding more Webmail programs for you to pick from

Good, I was looking for something like that for my alternative domain.
Any discount for beta ?
