        I think they did, the free plan was also for 25 users and now it back to only 5.

          And they have all kinds of issues with accounts because they have some broken 2FA process. Loads of people can't get working accounts because you have to have a unique mobile number for everything and if someone else uses it, you can't.

              Another example of piss poor planning with predictable results.

              Can we shorten that to PPP=PR? 🤔 Probably shouldn't, but it's too late now.

                Show stopper here, but that's okay, saw the pricing and don't care anymore.

                  Still at $3, they are cheaper than the rest on the cheapest plan.

                  • Amazon Workmail is $4/month

                  • G Suite is $50/year ($4.16)

                  • Office 365 -Exchange Online $4/month (annual commitment)

                  • Zoho Mail $3 ( annual commitment)

                    That cost is web access or their app only.

                          IMAP Access is not free, see below:

                            @dbeato that's true, hadn't seen that before. Well they changed that as well, older free accounts did have access to IMAP.

                                It didn't used to be that way. I have some from free domains before that became a rule, so I have activesync and IMAP abilities.

                                  Correct, the second link shows the new accounts as being affected.

                                    The docs are worth it if you need over 5 users. I think their docs are the best out of the others.

                                      In all honesty 25 is a lot of free users. That's a lot of free data storage. I have a feeling they are growing a lot and this is the result of that.

                                        @stacksofplates Yeah, it used to be 5 then 10. The jump to 25 was unexpected, but they also limited it to web and app at that time.

                                        Not surprised they are rolling back down to 5.

                                          I spoke to support and they seemed pretty small. Support call went to the wrong team. Support for mail was a single guy who had to "call me back", but never did.

                                            Try making an account for a customer, requires a NEW mobile number for every account. Then close an old one, you never get your number back.
