GandiMail will cease being “free” on November 30 even for domains paid for years
- pyeri 3y agoIf you already own the domain, one way of staying free is to use Cloudflare email redirection. Cloudflare has a feature such that if you own xyz.com, they can redirect all mails coming to <address>@xyz.com to any other email you provide. For sending, you can use any service such as Sendgrid or even plain SMTP/IMAP.
- p4bl0 3y agoRedirections will still be included with domain names. It's actual mailboxes that were included and will cost ~60€ per year per mailbox, even for existing customers with domain names expiring years from now.
- bobthrowaway 3y agoAre there any alternatives that provide domain+mail, that do not cost >1$ year per domain+mail account? Or are there any mail services that allow multiple domains (not alias) for around 24$ year? Mail storage does not matter as long as it is of reasonable size >100 Mb.
- electrotype 3y agoI'm looking at this: https://www.dynadot.com/hosting/email.html#plan-slection-scroll https://www.dynadot.com/hosting/email.html#plan-slection-scr... > Every Dynadot domain purchase comes with a free email address I may transfert my domains there.
- electrotype 3y agoSo I did transfer one domain to dynadot, to try. There IS a free mailbox, but "For remote access please upgrade to Pro plan". So no POP3/IMAP.
- jwlsinx 3y agoZoho mail worked great for me when I did that (I only switched to Gandi mail because it was free…). $1/user/month and I used it with 4 domains.
- compuguy 3y agoDisappointing to hear. That was one of the distinctive features Gandi had. Otherwise other domain registrars are better alternatives based on price...
- kjs3 3y agoI don't even use GandiMail and this sort of thing guarantees I'll be moving my (fortunately few) domains out of Gandi. Such absolute contempt for their customers. Once a company starts screwing over one class of users, it's only a matter of time before they come after something I do actually use.
