    No issues with email deliverability so far, and very cost effective. There is also usage-based billing which starts at 4$/year and should end up cheaper than the flat rate for most use cases. No extra cost per domain and scriptable email routing. The admin panel doesn't look very modern, but works well. Has TOTP and FIDO 2FA support.

  • Skiff Is Joining Notion
    I'm really pleased with Purelymail so far. It's very minimalistic, reliable (I can't remember if I've ever had any sort of downtime at all!), and dirt cheap: $10/yr if you're on simple pricing, and usually even less if you pay for usage (my usual monthly bill is around 50ยข, give or take, so something like $6/yr). https://purelymail.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
  • Skiff Is Joining Notion
    Https://purelymail.com/ https://mxroute.com/ https://www.vfemail.net/ https://runbox.com/ I know this because I have spent time looking the past week for getting off Outlook.com. I've basically settled on Runbox.com as it seems to be the most established and stable. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
  • Domains and Email hosting
    I pay for Purelymail. Base price is $4 a year and then you pay for usage. Or you can pay $10 a year and not worry about paying for usage. Unlimited domains and users, although it is rather clunky to setup. Source: 10 months ago
  • Recommendations for email hosting
    I just discovered purelymail.com but am still testing it myself. It seems like the developer is very eager to improve his product and has the absolut best pricing I know of. Source: 10 months ago
  • Simplest way to get gmail with custom domain
    You might be able to configure SPF and DKIM to mostly work with Cloudflare as receiving MX and your other mailbox elsewhere spoofing outbound messages, but I think such a setup will be unavoidably fragile. I'd look into something like Purelymail, personally (and when it looked like the free-tier Workspace was going to be nuked for personal users, that was my backup plan). Source: 10 months ago
  • Gandi.net โ€“ Pricing Update
    I've been using PurelyMail[1] (it's been on hacker news a couple of times already) for about a year now and haven't had any issues with it. It uses consumption-based pricing so for my use (with two domains set up) it comes out to about $0.5/month. I think it's a small team (maybe just one person?) that maintains it. [1]: https://purelymail.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
  • Currently in the process of ditching Google and looking for email alternatives.
    I signed up for Purely Mail. It's $10/year. No real limitations (number of users, custom domains, space, etc). Source: 12 months ago
  • Opinions on setting up email that integrates well with nextcloud?
    I'm a fan of https://purelymail.com/. $10/yr. Unlimited email. As many domains as you want. No frills. It just works. Source: 12 months ago
  • Ask HN: What email services are y'all using?
    I've seen https://purelymail.com/ and many claim it's a great option and cheap option. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
  • How Likely Is Losing a Google Account?
    I'm paying $10 a year for https://purelymail.com. Yeah, I'm pretty sure there's a hit-by-a-bus factor at play here that could bite me but the one time I had an issue it was resolved within 8 hours with a follow-up to make sure the uptime they were seeing was also my experience. If the bus ever does meet my provider, I can move providers within a day. For my personal email, that is more than sufficient. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • Omg.lol โ€“ A lovable web page and email address, just for you
    I saw the same need, but I've actually purchased domains for all of my children, so that when they get older, I can transfer ownership to them. 10-18 years is a long time window, so I felt that purchasing a domain was more appropriate than setting up an address at service which may or may not still be available. Thank goodness for services like Purelymail[1] and Forward Email[2] that offer free or cheap forwarding... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • Looking for the right email product.
    Purelymail.com might be worth a look - I've been pleased. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Ask HN: Do You Host Your Own Email?
    No, I use https://purelymail.com/ with my "own" domain. Happy with it so far (~2years?). - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • Ask HN: Any good black Friday deals?
    I've gotten two great "deals" this week. The first: I bought "unlimited" worldwide maps from Osmand, which I use a TON for offline maps when I bike. It's $9.99 for unlimited worldwide offline map downloads right now. Great deal if you'd like to move away from Google Maps for navigation (not so great for business search, but it's slowly getting there!) The second: not actually a Black Friday deal, but I recently... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • Fellow self-hosters, how do *you* do your email? (Even if not self-hosted)
    Https://purelymail.com/ I use few domains (emails only) for just about $10 / year. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Ask HN: Why don't I have any email address nor email inbox with my domains?
    Well if it's cheap you're looking for there is Purelymail: https://purelymail.com/ Since you're already with Namecheap, why not go with one of their email plans/addons? All you have to do is add an MX record in the DNS and you've email-ified the domain. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • Becoming a Full-Time Creator as a Software Engineer
    - Cheap, no non-sense email service, made by a solo dev: https://purelymail.com/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
  • Ask HN: Good Private Email Host with IMAP
    Https://purelymail.com/ has no hard limits and roundcube (a modern looking webmail) but is a smaller operation. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
  • Mail relay as a service? Moving away from selfhosted postfix ๐Ÿ˜”
    I recently found https://purelymail.com/ It does exactly what I want. Being able to add my own domains I have now emails for those domains which are hosted outside of my home server, thus if I am down for maintaining or because I am simply an idiot, emails still work. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Semi-self hosted email?
    I'd like to advocate for PurelyMail, which, according to its usage-based pricing, costs me under $0.50/month for unlimited domains and users. IMAP, DKIM/DMARC, WebDAV/CardDAV. It is in beta, but it's been more than reliable enough for my business. The world needs to know. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Discovered purelymail.com
    But when I was looking, I discovered purelymail.com and really liked what I found. Although I don't need it for a migration, I signed up and started using it for some of my automated processes which use email notifications. Source: almost 2 years ago

Moving away from GMail
Besides the low price, PurelyMail has one more awesome thing: you pay for storage, not for users. So if you have a custom domain, you can create as many users as you want and you won't pay extra. All you will pay for is the total storage (and number of emails sent/received). All the other providers I saw charged extra for different addresses. They even had limitations on the number of aliases you could create for...
