Your experiences with Mailplus?

[Mart]

Hi folks,

Curious, what are your experiences with Mailplus anno 2024?
I am currently using Google Workspace Starter with my own domain, and am thinking of switching to Mailplus. Now I read on YouTube that people advise against Mailplus, (for various reasons) but this info is also already 3-4 years old.

Please advise.

Thanx,

Mart (newbie on this forum and with Mailplus)

I have my own domain and for most of the last 10 years hosted my e-mail on my old DS1813+ with Synology's other mail server package which is a lot more basic than MailPlus. When I replaced my DS1813+ last year with an RS2423rp+ I decided to switch to MailPlus. Now, I'm pretty much the only user of this domain so I don't have a lot of e-mail addresses. I think I currently have 4 e-mail addresses in use so the free 5 licenses you get works out great for me. And I've had no issues with the application. I haven't used Google Workplace anything. I assume that's cloud hosted? For me that would defeat the purpose of hosting my own e-mail. But I can't compare the two since I've never use the Google product. But I am happy with MailPlus.

I have used MailPlus for about 3 years now on my Synolgoy. Only for family members and works great. The only issue I had is that AT&T decided to change their IPv4 addresses 4 months ago and lost my IP address that I had for over 12 years. Had to make a DNS update to the SPF records.

Unless you're familiar with mail servers, I wouldn't.
I use mine for company emails, its hard work, and still throws spanners at me.
It does save me money, but is labour intensive to get right.

I’ve been using Mailplus for a bit now, and here’s the deal: it’s got a decent set of features, but it's not the smoothest ride. I had some issues with integration and support, and it’s a bit clunky compared to Google Workspace.
