"I just sent an email to my girlfriend with dinner reservations for tonight, but now I want to break up with her, can you delete the email that I sent her?" "3 years ago I bought a widget, and now I want to buy it again, but I can't find it in my inbox, can you find it for me?" "I just deleted all my email, but now I want it back. Get it back now!" None of these are configuration problems, but will all take support time, even to tell them "No, go away" On 2/21/2018 11:23 AM, Mike Hammett wrote: Username and password is all they need.

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 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.

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.

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.
