> 200 in/day How does this work? Do you just limit what gets shown to me, say I get 250 emails sent to me in a day, I can only view 200 of them, or do you bounce the extra 50?

No we don't bounce your mail. If you really did go over, we'd let it slide. However, if it becomes a blatant overage, the sender will be informed the mail cannot be delivered to you because you're over the quota. You will be warned several times before this happens though.

  Not a big fan of someone being able to spam me and get my email locked out of like this. :/

    I’d assume being targeted with spam is not considered „blatant overage”

Yeah I'm very unclear on this. I thought the slogan was pay for the "data you use" in which case I'd expect something like no limits on how many in/out per day but e.g. first 1GB in/out is free and $0.10/GB after that with no limits as long as you pay. Or something like that.

  Being a mail provider, most of the things we do are to protect users and the servers. The in/out per day are really to prevent spammers and abuse. Also, I don't like charging people for overages. It never sits well.

    It wouldn't be an overage, if you market it as a pay-per-GB e-mail provider with no limits (but the first 1 GB is free) that would be cool. As for managing spammers, just require some sort of ID verification? Or set the price point high enough that spammers wouldn't be interested? $1.50/month for personal or $16/month for business is insanely cheap, I pay a lot more than that to Google. If you're too inexpensive, spammers will be attracted to your pricing. Real businesses would have no problem paying upwards of $100/month, to be honest.

      Although you're right about successful businesses being able to pay $100+ a month, we are trying to give good email to those that are trying to start their businesses without killing them with costs. Cool idea though about the pay-per-GB. I'll think about that.
