I understand the importance of attachments. But it's the only way to make email hosting cheap or free, bc attachments occupy 99,9% of disk space.

- thunderrabbit 5y agoYes, email attachments take up a lot of space. But anyone who tries to auto-delete my attachments will never get my patronage. Why do you want to cripple email to create a free service? This seems like a race to the bottom, with very little upside for you.
- andreinwald 5y agoNot everyone is willing to pay for mail service for custom domains. Paid email services already costs near or below disc storage prise. Limiting attachments - the only possible way for free ADs-based alternative.
- rosndo 5y agoSince when is disk space the bottleneck for email hosting? Do you not intend to offer features like search?
- andreinwald 5y agoDisk space - is most popular limitation on email hosting plans now. Gmail 15 GB + ADs model, Zoho: 5 GB. Mail search - will be offered. But old emails w/o attachments.
- rosndo 5y agoDisk space being the most popular limitation does not imply that it is a real bottleneck.
