Mango Mail is one of the most affordable email hosts on the market with a solid UI/UX. It has a simple, unified dashboard where you can control all your emailing needs and also supports advanced features such as aliases, catch-alls, plus addressing, and subdomain addressing.

You can currently get 3 months free if you start or upgrade a plan before the New Year.

Hey everyone! This community has been a big part of Mango Mail's growth and I wanted to let you know that we have finally launched on Product Hunt. Any support would be greatly appreciated!

I didn't know you could provide images in the submissions. You can check out our home page though, we have a showcase of the dashboard and you can see our docs.

Thanks for the kind words. We have several measures for filtering spam including RBL checks, Bayesian Filtering, and checking for common spam tactics.

Mango Mail is an affordable email host tailored for startups and small businesses. Instead of charging per user, we charge based on data. This way, you can make as many users and connect as many domains as you need for a fixed rate.

You're right. I'll fix this.

1. SimpleTransfer - automatically migrates all your old mailbox data / custom folders / custom tags for you

2. Extremely easy-to-use dashboard and overview page with insights on which domains/users are eating up your data

3. Docs. We've gotten a lot of love for our docs. It'd be easier just to show you: https://mymangomail.com/docs/

Thank you! I'll take a look asap

Hmm... so just off the top of my head, I'm thinking one service would have to forward to the other. Only problem with that is that the sending server would now be the relay and not the original sender. Since MX records only account for using one service, there would need to be some sort of intermediary to do this. Possibly have mail delivered to a common server which then sends it to both Mango and Google (giving each the same odds to detect spam).

If you do end up trying it, feel free to shoot me an email either at contact@mymangomail.com or my personal, steve@mymangomail.com

I knew that plus addressing was inherently flawed in that it required the support of the plus "+" character. So I implemented subdomain addressing to ensure wide comparability. And it looks nicer.

Haha, no no you're good. Nothing's going on with Florida except mosquitoes.

Not sure what you mean. This isn't about your system or your logs. If you use Mango Mail, we aren't talking about any other system. I am telling you the attempted spam I see hitting MY servers.

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.

Oh also, the bus factor would be 2. That's my brother (Sean) and I (Steve).

I'm glad someone finally said this. There is so much concern for "The government is spying on me" but the truth is, if you're doing something illegal, I don't even want you using it. The government only cares when you do something and they are forced to step in.

What exactly is it that is making you need Small Business? I want to make the plans as reasonable as possible.
svjx··on Show HN: Mango Mail – Affordable email host with unlimited addresses
Can you elaborate more on the feature you would like? I have no problem building a solution from scratch if it comes in handy.

Also we use Bayesian filtering, rbls, dbls, rate checks, the whole 9 yards. We haven't had much complaint about receiving spam. Ik you said you've been burned but I'd love for you to give us a shot so I can see what happens and possibly improve.

We recently had customers come to us for the same reason. They all use aliasing with us. This allows you to redirect mail from any address you own to a real mailbox in Mango Mail.

How could Fastmail be cheaper? They are $3 per user per month. Mango is $1.50 per month for unlimited users. It's impossible for Fastmail to be cheaper.
svjx··on Show HN: Mango Mail – Affordable email host with unlimited addresses
Mango Mail is $18 a year for 5GB. Purely mail leaves the limits and specifics up in the air. Purelymail is a bit weird with the pricing. "If you use significantly more than $10 a year in resources, you may need to switch to advanced pricing". That sounds like a makeshift system. No offense, but it doesn't seem like the most serious provider.
svjx··on Show HN: Mango Mail – Affordable email host with unlimited addresses
Haha, it's not an exaggeration. It's logs. You don't receive it because the system is constantly filtering it. I do not deem it to be worth the potential spam and many other email systems agree on that.
svjx··on Show HN: Mango Mail – Affordable email host with unlimited addresses
I really appreciate that. What device/browser are you using?
svjx··on Show HN: Mango Mail – Affordable email host with unlimited addresses
Yes, we know that plus addressing isn't always supported. That's why we have subdomain addressing which is really its successor.
svjx··on Show HN: Mango Mail – Affordable email host with unlimited addresses
I'm a real human. Seriously, the support is handled by the system admins which makes resolution almost instantaneous.
svjx··on Show HN: Mango Mail – Affordable email host with unlimited addresses
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.
svjx··on Show HN: Mango Mail – Affordable email host with unlimited addresses
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.
svjx··on Show HN: Mango Mail – Affordable email host with unlimited addresses
No, we removed catch-all addresses. They're a bad idea. Every 5 seconds a spammer sends something to a bunch of random letters @ your domain.

However, we do have all of the following:

- subdomain addressing - plus addressing - aliases

Can you tell me what you use case for catch-all is? I'm open to rethinking it.

I had no idea about this. Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks! I'd say the user experience is much better. Migadu is a great company but sometimes using it can be a headache. That's really one of our main goals, making it as easy as possible.

Margin is invisible! Jk, most of everything is done from scratch so we are able to keep costs very low. We take pride in our work though which is why the product is good.
