I just set up a test to see how it works. The UI is pretty clean, and yes, it's hosted email. No idea how reliable they will be.
Here are some issues:
They are not picking up DNS changes in a timely fashion, specifically I confirmed all of the DNS changes they requested were made and published to all name servers, but their system is not picking up the changes, which means they could be caching the results or asking a caching resolver when checking the results.
They also have some DNS weirdness going on for their migadu.com zone which they probably should fix:
; <<>> DiG 9.8.3-P1 <<>> @ns1.migadu.com migadu.com

Their webmail client is pretty basic. Using the refresh did not work well (spinning busy icon). It's a lot to ask to have a good webmail client in addition to handling email deliverability well.
I sent myself a test email a few minutes ago and so far it's not come through in their web UI.
Bottom line: it's an early product in a very challenging operational space, so I'd keep an eye on them but would think twice about relying on it for production use.
- dejan 11y agoHi @aeden, Dejan from Migadu here. Thanks for the check-up :) Migadu has to pickup the DNS changes in order to activate the domain, otherwise it won't accept mails for it. Webmail, yes quite basic, we're hoping to make it even more basic. No intentions to replace GMail :)
