Mailbox-count pricing, unlimited domains, no per-user trap

[01] Verdict

Migadu is a Swiss indie host with a pricing model nobody else copies: you pay for total messages-per-day and storage, not per mailbox. Unlimited addresses, almost unlimited domains. Micro is $19/year (~$1.58/mo), Mini is $90/year (~$7.50/mo) with 30GB and 1,000 messages/day.

If you run five domains for family or a small team, this is the cheapest serious mail you can buy. Standard IMAP/SMTP, full DKIM/DMARC/ARC, custom catchalls, identities — the boring email-server stuff done right.

No apps, no calendar, no fancy UI. You bring your own client (Thunderbird, Apple Mail). Webmail is plain Roundcube. Support is email-only, response in business hours.
