I had a very poor experience with migrating off Migadu when they dropped their free tier. It completely soured me off them forever.

  Can you elaborate? Were you using something like IMAP sync and having trouble or are you moreso talking about timelines and their comms?

    Moreso timeline and comms. First e-mail communication I got regarding sunsetting of the plan was a section at the bottom of a length e-mail announcing pricing changes sent on August 28, 2020. The e-mail announced that on October 1st 2020, free tier would be sunset, and immediately locked until upgrade to a paid account.

  On a related note, I’ve commented earlier about this. I didn’t like the way Migadu dropped the free tier when the pandemic was raging, with a short notice. From that experience, I can’t bring myself to trust it. I really appreciate the pricing that’s not per user/mailbox, but there’s more to a business than just pricing. Mxroute provides a similar service that’s not based on users/mailboxes and is cheap enough for multiple domains and multiple mailboxes. For those concerned with privacy and data stored in certain countries, Mxroute stores data in the U.S. (like Fastmail) and Migadu stores data in France (a 14 eyes country) even though the company is incorporated in Switzerland. Migadu also does/did not encrypt data at rest (as of a couple of years ago). So any seizure of its servers in France means your data could be exposed.
