Ask HN: Free email providers that support custom domains?
It seems that most of the bigger providers no longer support the usage of custom domains for free, but I'd love to hear that I'm mistaken.
Ideally I'm looking for IMAP access, but I'll settle for webmail if that is the only realistic choice.
- stephenr 10y agoHow many individual mailboxes (not aliases) do you want?
- stevekemp 10y agoSomewhere in the region 1-5. Certainly not many.

- bogdanu 10y agoYou could use zoho mail. It also offers imap access.
- stevekemp 10y agoPerfect - It wasn't obvious their free account supported custom domains, but I'm up and running just fine now.
- sahrizv 10y agoI set up free email with custom domain on Zoho, yesterday. You can set up to 25 free accounts IIRC.
- feistypharit 10y agoBeware zoho is blocked all over the place. Many corporate firewalls simply block them wholesale.
- sahrizv 10y agoThanks for the heads up. I'll move to Google Apps on the first sign of trouble.
- ZohoMailSupport 10y agoWe have a dedicated abuse monitoring team who work on mechanisms to control misuse of our system thereby reducing the chances of our sending IP getting blacklisted. In addition, we recommend users to configure proper SPF & DKIM records for better delivery of their outgoing mails. Could you please describe the specific issue that you faced along with the complete bounce message or screen shot, by writing an email to support@zohomail.com. This will help us to investigate further. Thanks. ^SP
- stevekemp 10y agoPerfect. It wasn't obvious their free account allowed such things, but having tested it things worked perfectly.
- simon_acca 10y agoWith migadu free plan you have unlimited mailboxes, storage.and domains, they only cap the daily amount of outgoing email. https://www.migadu.com/en/index.html https://www.migadu.com/en/index.html
- feistypharit 10y agoAgreed. They're basic, but for low volume work well. Don't know how it would work for more users, they charge by number of sent emails for day.
- herbst 10y agoI had this issue as well. Mostly ive used namecheaps forwarding plus googles smtp to send. Because i lose forwarding when i change to cloudflare as dns, i created this: https://ForwardMX.io https://ForwardMX.io Most of my domains just receive. For these that need send i setup a alias in Gmail and use Googles SMTP (as mentioned)
- f311a 10y agoTry yandex, everything is free. I've been using yandex for about 6 years. It's the biggest Russian "google". https://domain.yandex.com/ https://domain.yandex.com/
- blunte 10y agoI would trust them even less than I trust the NSA^h^h^hUS.
- f311a 10y agoThat's better than US based sites. If you citizen of the US, then government don't have directly access to your e-mails.
- blunte 10y agoI highly suspect that any entity that has the ability to monitor US communications also has the ability to monitor communications outside the US. (I'm strongly underestimating.)
- lancewiggs 10y agoWhy free? Someone has to pay for the costs - and if it's not you then either the model will break or there is another catch.
