CraneMail Features
FTP(S)/SFTP/Rclone Support for Cloud Storage (BETA)
Get the most out of your CraneMail cloud storage by easily accessing and managing it over FTPS or SFTP with your favorite client.
Rclone support is also available via our custom build available on our GitHub.
Z-Push (ActiveSync) - iOS Push for Email/Contacts/Calendar
Z-Push available on all CraneMail plans. Z-Push is an open source ActiveSync implementation that allows you to get push notifications for emails on your iOS/Android mail clients as well as faster contact/calendar syncing.
Amazing Webmail Experience
Webmail, contacts, calendars, online meetings and tasks are closely integrated as you’d expect with something like Google Workspace. Get more details on the webmail features and additional screenshots here.
We also offer Roundcube access now if that's more your speed.
Included Cloud Storage
All plans offer a combined amount of storage for mail and files. Easily upload and share large files with family/coworkers or in email/publicly via URL. WebDAV support is still being developed but will be available in the future, so you can utilize the storage with rClone and other desktop sync tools.
Cloud connect features let you sign into your existing cloud storage accounts and browse/manage files, plus copy them over to your CraneMail account.
Supported Email Protocols
Beyond the great webmail you obviously get access to a bunch of protocols so you can use your CraneMail plan with any email client:
- IMAP
- POP
- SMTP
- MAPI + EWS
- EAS via Z-PUSH (ActiveSync)
Premium Spam Filtering from SpamExperts
Bundled with every CraneMail account is spam filtering from SpamExperts. Filtering is done via our on-prem SpamExperts nodes. You get access to the control panel to tune spam filtering settings, release/train mail, and more.
Free eM Client Pro License (3 Devices)
Each Primary Domain gets access to an eM Client license good for 3 device activations. eM client is a desktop and mobile email client that tightly integrates with SmarterMail. We've found it to be a fantastic Outlook alternative.
Built-in Mail Migration
Easily move your mail from your existing provider with the built-in mail migration tool. Provide your existing email account’s login details, or authenticate your gmail/outlook/etc accounts, and start a bulk mail move from your current mail provider that runs in the background.
Great Email Deliverability
Mail is sent via our own spam filtering outbound relays to retain our clean sender reputation and make sure the mail we send ends up in the recipient's inbox. We’ve built a strong, positive reputation with large & small mail providers over the last year and you can feel confident in our ability to deliver your messages.
Our default sending limits are 600 emails/hour per domain. This isn’t a service for bulk mailing, marketing emails, etc - it’s a primarily inbound business/personal email hosting service.
No Per-Mailbox Costs, Easy Administration
Your domain administrator access allows you to easily add mailboxes/aliases and manage domain settings. We don’t limit mailboxes so you can create as many as you need without increasing your bill.
Primary domains allowed on each plan are effectively separate overall accounts per-domain. These are limited based on the size of plan you purchase. We don’t limit domain aliases (multiple domains attached to the same mailboxes).
More Great CraneMail Features
- 2-Factor Authentication for Webmail
- Fetch emails from your mailboxes with other email providers, send-as via their SMTP - screenshot
- OnlyOffice web-based document editing for documents/spreadsheets/presentations
- Contact & Calendar Sharing, full CardDAV/CalDAV support
- Email archiving - keep an extra copy of in/outbound mail for certain mailboxes, so you never accidentally delete a message (counted against main storage)
- And much much more. Check out SmarterMail’s site for the full feature set.
Technical Details
CraneMail nodes use ZFS-backed storage with mirrored NVMe's for mail. Local snapshots are taken multiple times per hour, with offsite backups multiple times a day. Our backups are for disaster recovery purposes only - not individual account restores or accidental email deletion (use the Email Archiving feature!). 10 gigabit networking for fast uploads/file sharing.
All CraneMail plans are available in our US (Las Vegas) and EU (Amsterdam) locations.

Yay! Is here!
Finally, Namecrane. GLWS

GLWS
Btw, we have multiple staff operating the NameCrane account here. So this is Mike posting, but Ali will probably be helping with replies and posting going forward.
Good luck with sales!
Any plans for 100G or 50G lifetime?
oh m y love namecrane
No plans to go any lower, this is our floor on lifetime pricing.
Mike
Woowww. any short term discount codes?
GLWS
I love NameCrane!
Cool, still a great deal.
Is the plan still to get the rclone support upstreamed or are you focussing on WebDAV?
Still trying to get it upstreamed, need to see if we can convince our dev to spend a bit more time on it.
We've added the FTPS/SFTP connectors though and those have been popular.
Mike
Hopefully, there will be some good news about WebDAV next time.
What you see is what you get. The 100G & 250G are recurring at their pricing - $20/3yrs for 100G, $30/3yrs for 250G.
Mike
Oh nice, I missed that. I don't think it was supported last year.
any plans on cp/da shared/reseller hosting side? I was expecting 2x resource increase. Even 1.5 CPU can help for heavy WP sites
Yeah, still waiting on SmarterMail to implement it on their end - not something we can hack in easily.
Correct, yeah we launched that earlier this year. FTPS has worked great, SFTP has had some quirks with certain clients.
Mike
Been busy, haven't applied any resource bumps yet.
I also need to square whatever Francisco's been promising in threads with what my actual plans were, lol.
Mike
ok thanks. will be waiting.
happy to see that my already redundant lifetime plan got even more domain count xd
happier to buy another redundant resilient copy in eu now
Wow, that webmail UI is awesome, and it's mobile-friendly too. I'm tempted.
wow... a must take deal.
Thank you @NameCrane for your fast support. Everything worked, happy to be a new customer.
❤️❤️
Hey @NameCrane any chance an existing 100GB plan from last year's BF deal ($20 / 3 years purchased in Feb 2025) can upgrade to the 250GB from this year's BF ($30 / 3 years) by paying the difference? If so - would this cause any disruption with existing domains hosted there already?
Thanks in advance,
Check the upgrades/downgrades menu within your service in billing. I added it as an upgrade path so you should be able to do it yourself now.
Any deals for shared hosting? @Harambe
any discount code for the share hosting?
