Anyone using purelymail for email hosting?

If so can you give review of it? $10 a year for unlimited service sounds too good to be true. Can any users share their experience hosting email there?

Sir, you have asked a question that his been reverberating around my cranium ever since I was first introduced to the very same service!
Never heard it before. The website looks like a personal homepage. I don't trust it for business emails.
In all fairness, old bean, they do make it quite, quite clear it is not a service suitable for business purposes. It id also a 'beta' services, and one would be quite foolish to use such a service for a business, wouldn't they!

I have been with them since last year, and I have had no issues so far. From what I understand, it's basically a one-man business. I use them for most of my web dev projects in production. However, I don't use them as my personal mailbox.
I've been using Purelymail since April of last year and it's been very solid. Like nick_, I don't use them for anything super important. I use their advanced billing (usage based billing) and it costs under 50 cents a month.
Guy looks like the cock.li admin and the whole site feels amatour, wouldn't use it for business email lol
It's an one-man show indeed. But the price is too good to refuse. Plus they support real 2FA.
I am, and I love it! purelymail is a great service for anyone looking for a simple, spam-free email hosting solution. The interface is clean and easy to use, and I've had no problems with delivery or reliability.highly recommend it!
what the hell
@Erisa (who made me know about its existence) uses it on her mail setup, but only for outbound e-mails. As far as I know, it works reliably, but she would know better than I to explain.
Outside of what has been mentioned already, I'd also like to raise up there's only 2 IPs used for e-mail deliverability:
It's a "proof of work" system, presumably to deter spam and counteract the potential loss of allowing free trial users on the platform. It is what it is, honestly, I'm kind of indifferent towards it.
So the thing about PurelyMail is that yes as others have mentioned its pretty much a one-man show, just a guy who decided to make a cool service. And it considers itself to be beta quality on top of that.
But what I find weird and why I use it for outbound is that it has the best deliverability that I've seen so far. It can deliver consistently to Outlook inboxes which is something that even big players can't manage to do. Not that I blame them, Outlooks spam filter is a gigantic pain that nobody will ever fully understand. But regardless, it's important to me.
Maybe it will die or stop being so good one day, but for now it fulfils my need.
