Damn. I was way more involved than that but if that's the impression then I guess it's not meant to be.

Seems like I didnt even make the cut for megathread squad. Ouch

If it is meant to happen it will happen, so we were looking at Top 8 contributors from here: https://blackfriday.lukastautz.de/2024.html (hence the tags given to the few members here)

You are at number 29... that seems a bit far even if we pick Top 20 no? Same for the current Christmas thread either https://blackfriday.lukastautz.de/, which you are currently at number 23.

Had my wife not dragged me out to this God forsaken place that gives the vibes of the island from the series LOST I wud have 100% toppled u @itsTomHarper 😜 I am at # 11 with a difference of 1 from # 10 🤣 Nevertheless, I enjoy this thread & all of u make it fun, so I like to think I'm in megathread squad in spirit even if not in letter 🫡

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.

I do apologize @jar I cud have worded it better. What I guess I meant to say was that as a simple user I see more return in the package from @NameCrane when all the features are combined.
