Can't wait, and I know you know that.
For the DA coupon, only during promo period. If you ticket we can handle it.
For CraneMail Lifetimes - we'll allow upgrades in future, but the pricing will be going up in the new year - so the upgrades will be priced at whatever the new lifetime fee is for the higher plan.
Is 40 just an example, or does the number have significance?

Just a random number

nice. can mass import my 1 alias.
I'm not always great at communicating, so I'm leery about bringing this up again. But my first glance at the screenshots indicates it might be possible to send from aliases. Am I missing something?
Correct
Francisco
Does sending from multiple aliases happen from one "mailbox" with one credential (if preferred)?
Yes. You'd login as a user and then when writing an email in the webmail you'll see that the FROM field is a drop down that you can pick from.
On your desktop client you'd just define additional identities, and then do the same thing basically.

Early in this thread, someone asked for Addy.io or SimpleLogin functionality. If I'm understanding correctly, especially for those who prefer webmail, it has been delivered, and without the inconvenience of reverse aliases.
I'm waiting to learn about the caveat, but I can't imagine what it would be.
Lets go over that a bit then.
Honestly I've not dug into the features of either of those offerings. I thought it was more you would use their generic domains and then route it to your own. Is that not the case?
Francisco
stupid question, what special gdpr does cranemail need compared to the webhosting services you already offer in the eu? are there any differences? you are not the operator of the email service but only offer the infrastructure for it.
operators of email services (at least in germany) with more than 10000 users (or so) are still subject to special regulation, but this does not apply to infrastructure providers in the eu, like you are?!

We never claimed to be "GDPR Compliant" anywhere on Namecrane or BuyVM though, that's the difference.
The hope would be to be able to claim that, since almost all of the EU businesses that want to resell us can't/won't until there's policies/contracts in place.
Francisco
ok. that makes sense. so not only cranemail even all your services in the eu become gdpr "upgrade".

You got it.
We get requests on both brands every once in a while for us to provide a DPA and other GDPR documents. There's likely tons of people that close the site instantly because we don't have notices anywhere.

decisions decisions.. should I upgrade my US service or wait for the lifetime EU service to have a backup service in a different region? Good problem to have
wait for the eu cranemail sounds smart
Hi @Francisco I'm already a customer of one of the CraneMail package. I wonder if I can switch to EU servers after all that GDPR compliance stuff.
No, but you can buy new services once they go live in EU
Placed an order which was flagged as fraud and the amount was refunded, not sure if it was because of VPN. Again, placed an order without VPN this time which was successful, waiting for the account creation /provisioning confirmation now. Overall, the service looks interesting, hope it delivers what is promised. @Francisco @NameCrane
Let's say [email protected] is the sole user of an account who accesses webmail only. He sets up his first alias (with the same domain name): [email protected]. He corresponds (sends and receives) with his plumber exclusively via the alias. In this case, does NameCrane reveal or imply the existence of [email protected], especially in the headers of outgoing mail?
For one person using webmail, can the new aliasing feature deliver all mail to one inbox? Likewise, is there one "sent" folder for all the outgoing mail sent via the multiple names?
In webmail, can rules also be set up to sort mail to folders based on the name (ie, local-part) to which each message is addressed?
It can be done the way you describe. However, when paid, SimpleLogin can host a large number of (maybe even unlimited) domain names owned by the customer. One can bypass the generic domain names entirely and still make use of all features. Addy.io has similar ability: use their generic domain names or pay extra to bring your own. In my personal opinion, using one's own domain names makes more sense.

The returned emails would be FROM the alias (though I'd have to confirm 1000% that it auto picks the alias in the FROM drop down in webmail). There should be no exposure of john@.
By default it'd filter all into your main INBOX. You can setup content filters to man handle the message however you wish.
No, the 'sent' messages would only be located in each users mailbox. With that being said, as the domain admin you can enable global email archiving, or you can just setup domain wide content filters that auto forward outgoing emails to another inbox.
Yes, the content filtering is quite good.
You could even do something like this:
Something useful i'll need to research would be making a browser addon for people to quickly make aliases.
Francisco
any ETA on this?
You mentioned a browser add-on, and I can see why some might want that. Personally, I would never use it. I think the best, harder to replicate perk of Addy.io is its iOS app (for on-the-go alias managing). Only my opinion.
I'm not clear on what this means and the implications. Weren't we using the example of one user? But I actually don't care much about how sent mail is accessed. Other questions are more interesting.
Another question of lower importance, but maybe worth mentioning: Can aliases be set up prior to changing one's MX records? There's a risk of some incoming mail getting lost during a migration to NameCrane. If the aliases can be created in advance, then time and stress are lowered. It's possible that no mail service on Earth is advanced enough to make this possible, so I don't expect it.

Yep. Once you do domain verification you can do whatever you want within cranemail.
Francisco
Thanks. I imagine my questions could be exhausting.
Not at all, glad I could clear the air some.
Merry Christmas!

@Francisco @NameCrane Can you check this Ticket #CRANE-7465
For domain aliases, do we set MX records to point to workspace or spamexperts (if spamexperts is enabled?)
You want to use the Spamexperts MX records.
You want to also use the Cranemail portal to setup the Domain Alias otherwise you'll have to deal with swapping the MX records back/forth to pass DNS verification. Whereas with the cranemail portal you just do another TXT record.
