Does it matter? If you spent 10 minutes answering an email support
question, you'll never get those 10 minutes back.

We use Zimbra (and I love it!), but gave up on providing emails to
customers years ago. We have a few (maybe 10) remaining aside from our
in-house emails. These 10 customers are not really profitable due to
the amount of time that we spend dealing with email issues every year.
I would never even consider going back to providing email, and we are
considering cancelling these ten.

We host quite a few mailboxes, can’t tell you how many, it’s a number
of servers in redundant configuration, we can have two servers
physically go down and nothing stops working. We also backup
everything on a daily basis, pricing starts at 2 bucks a mailbox but
goes down from there as the scale increases. We offer secure
webmail, secure POP/IMAP as well as SPF and DMARK if you are so
inclined to do so. Remote administration and simple migration. All
of our pricing is here

case someone wanted to know or wished us to host it. J Just a FYI.

I tried the same thing. I thought nobody would pay that much. I found
they would happily do it. I kept raising it. They finally started
fleeing when i required $20 a month paid annually.

We went to rackspace, never turned back, we are ona na inexpensivish
rate and we dont pimp the isp email. Though maybe we should, we set
it at 5 bucks a box per month with required annual payment if you
want to keep your email after leaving our service. Figured that would
get them to go away, but a suprising number keep it. Its pure cash,
like people who still have dialup customers that churn cash with zero
support each month.

We have lots of ISPs that outsource email hosting to us, but we have
a grandfathered deal and use BlueTie to provide the service. We
used to run our own servers and found that we could provide better
service at a lower cost (and wayyyy less headaches).
