    @Astro said: Just pointing out reducing participation to those 4 banine things was rather harsh when pretty much everyone was doing some variations of those exact 4 things.

    Yes I agree on that but without asking for the tag part, which also happened a bit dramatically in BF thread which leave a strong impression to me

    Sure. To each their own! It was just part of the general hoo-hah of the Thread. So not sure where the dramatics come in. Anyway, it's done now.

    All said, happy holidays to everyone! ❤️ My time in megathreads for this year has ended.

    I think I might be transferring my mxroute plan after having switched to namecrane.

    what did you like with namecrane over mxroute?

    The experience is far more refined! Compared to @NameCrane's interface mxroute seems like a hobby project, no offense to jar. Built in mail transfer, calendar, meetings and to top it all off with file storage! It's a no brainer, the only option I guess that warrants use of mxroute now is if I guess it was maybe 5-10 times cheaper than namecrane.

    MXRoute does offer unlimited domains in all the plans. And as of now, NameCrane has said that it rates its own deliverability as like 92 out of hundred and MXRoute's as 99 out of 100. MXRoute has been doing email for a lot more time.

    Yeah it's hard to go wrong with the rock-solid stability of mxroute. The focus on the actual service makes it work so smoothly (I don't necessarily need the extras). I was with a different provider prior to picking up the mxroute BF deal. The prior provider was new to imap email and because of that a bit unstable. I had a tinge of jealousy seeing the namecrane offer but quickly got over it not wanting to go with another new-to-email provider. I'm sure the Namecrane offer will work out great for folks but I'm thankful for what mxroute offers.

    For visibility, I'll paste here what I posted in @jar's MXroute thread about 10 minutes ago:

    Jokes aside, I've been using MXroute for my primary for just under a decade now. I did a double take when I checked my notes because time sure flew by!

    In reflecting on my experience and trying to present as complete a perspective as I can, I have no concerns or complaints because @jar has been nothing less than solid provider. I greatly appreciate not having to worry about the reliability of my email provider, and he has also been very kind and considerate, even helping me out in a stressful situation when he had absolutely no obligation to do so.

    My interactions with @jar have made it clear that he is exactly the kind of person/business owner I want to support, do business with, and succeed. There are a lot of a55h0les out there running businesses; I'm happy to confirm that @jar isn't one of them.

    Since I work in a non-tech-based industry and have been screwed over by a variety of service providers and businesses more times than I care to count, I'm hesitant with recommending any business. Having said that, I've been recommending MXroute to people IRL and online for many years because of my complete confidence in his integrity and how he routes his ship (pun fully intended).

    How do you setup email on other people's computers/phones? Webmail? Outlook? Mobile apps?

    Professionally, my role is unrelated to tech support, so that's not something I do at work. But, I have set it up on my own phones and devices. I mainly use FairEmail for mail on mobile and Thunderbird for mail on desktop. The latter is more because of inertia on my part, not because I think it's a great client.

    I haven't found it any more difficult to set up an MXroute email account than when I help family members and friends set up their GMail accounts on their devices. It's the same as setting up any other email account. It might even be easier than Google accounts depending on the mail client because not all of them support the OAUTH I think they now require. Once you sign up and get your MXroute mailserver settings, then create your email accounts, what more do you expect to need?

    Gmail, iCloud, etc should still be easier as most clients allow to just choose that and then enter username and password, while MXRoute/NameCrane will require entering server details too. iCloud is probably the cheapest from the big companies, as you get 50GB custom domain email at $1 per month, but I'd prefer MXRoute/NameCrane over the big companies so as long as the email deliverability is still great.

    I can’t promise flashy, but outbound delivery is a problem we’ve solved and that really was the goal. We never meant to be for people using Google Workspace, the intended audience was fellow Linux admins. Recognizing that our customer base has shifted is important, but shifting the product to the more flashy things they want while sustaining the pricing strategy and business plan is complicated. So UX isn’t pretty, but that and inbound filtering are the focuses of 2025.

    We’ve got a great team with @alento and @Opie, we’re definitely not just a hobby but we’re also taking unique approaches to solving everything users want, so they’re not fast.

    Thankfully setup is just once - you can setup on other users' devices once, then they can keep using it. I do hope that MXRoute improves on its web interface - and keep on working to making it easier to use. I also hope the higher storage plans drop on price - the 'big guys' do offer higher storage for the most part.

    Is it possible to have a custom domain login page for MXRoute? Like user can go to mail.domain.com to login to web mail, and they don't need to enter the part @domain.com, just the username and password.
    And then also mailadmin.domain.com for MXRoute administration of that domain?

    All said, happy holidays to everyone! ❤️ My time in megathreads for this year has ended.

    Unfortunately it just leaves that impression to me, if it is meant to be it will be. The thread is mostly about deals and tag is supplementary and we didn't even planned for the tag, at the end of the day I am sure a $7/yr deal is much more useful than a tag.

    If you look back on previous years, we almost never simply give out tag and we always keep them super rare. This is one of the first time we try out this event-based tags and a lot of specifics are still under discussions.

    Sure we can just simply give out but then I am sure you don't like the tag being taken away after it is given right? We have only given about 5 ad-hoc tags so far and we try to be a bit more conservative first by only give to members we are sure they deserve it.

    FWIW, I remember even having to find and enter the server name when helping someone configure Hotmail on their mail client. It's really quite straightforward.

    I would think that if someone is able to register and log in to a site like LET, they are capable of following the basic instructions in an email that provides the required information, and use their mail client's configuration wizard to get it set up. They'd still need to be able to start the configuration wizard (at minimum) to set up a GMail or iCloud mail account in their client.

    Over the years of helping people, the main barrier I have noticed is limited to those who proudly declare themselves 'tech-ignorant' and 'not a computer person'. Based on what I know of those individuals, I'm fairly confident that most of them just have issues with basic reading comprehension, CBF to follow instructions, and/or want someone else to do everything for them.

    I haven't noticed issues with mail deliverability, false positives, or a lot of spam hitting my inbox. The occasional spam email might get through, but it's usually on a catchall and still surprisingly rare. I like that it just works.
