GandiMail will cease being “free” on November 30 even for domains paid for years

If you already own the domain, one way of staying free is to use Cloudflare email redirection. Cloudflare has a feature such that if you own xyz.com, they can redirect all mails coming to <address>@xyz.com to any other email you provide.

For sending, you can use any service such as Sendgrid or even plain SMTP/IMAP.

Are there any alternatives that provide domain+mail, that do not cost >1$ year per domain+mail account?

Or are there any mail services that allow multiple domains (not alias) for around 24$ year? Mail storage does not matter as long as it is of reasonable size >100 Mb.

Disappointing to hear. That was one of the distinctive features Gandi had. Otherwise other domain registrars are better alternatives based on price...

I don't even use GandiMail and this sort of thing guarantees I'll be moving my (fortunately few) domains out of Gandi. Such absolute contempt for their customers. Once a company starts screwing over one class of users, it's only a matter of time before they come after something I do actually use.
