Zoho has a free, ad-free service¹ that allows: 1 domain, 5GB per user e-mail hosting, and 5GB per user document storage for up to 25 users. Pricing seems reasonable beyond that. They provide incentives in the form of additional users for referrals (my referral code: WX7yxEKy). They also support 2-factor authentication. ¹ https://www.zoho.com/mail/zohomail-pricing.html https://www.zoho.com/mail/zohomail-pricing.html

Zoho is mostly OK though they have had a few outages in the past year and the IMAP flakes every now and then. But for free, it works. My fallback were I to move my group off Zoho to something paid would probably be Rackspace. ymmv

I love how every time a company is compromised, everyone pops with their own "uncompromised" service offer. As if, this one would never get compromised and they were much better at it. Except they probably aren't. Bet the devs have all keys on their "work" laptop (you know, the one with stickers that they take home, to starbucks, on vacations, watch their movies on, etc.) (like everyone elses is doing) Sooo narrow-sighted.

  I think it's useful information. Many people are not aware of alternatives. Plus, it would be better for all concerned to have 25 smaller companies with 20M accounts each than one company with 500M accounts. Less of a security monoculture, and fewer eggs in a single basket when it does get compromised. From a user's perspective, although it may be less convenient, it's probably healthier to use a bunch of services offered by a bunch of different companies than to work with a single company for all digital needs.

I tried to sign up for Zoho a few months ago. Absolutely nothing in the signup process worked. I just got messages to "try later." So I gave up after about a day of peridocally retrying.
