I have a single domain with 2 emails on it. What's the cheapest migration option for mail?

I want to use a company with human tech support in case something goes wrong one day. No tech giants.

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.

I've been a satisfied Fastmail customer for a couple of years but this looks mighty enticing to switch over. $10 a year OR pay as you go.

this is the kind of pricing i have been looking for. i have a few accounts that are extremely low use because they serve as a backup to other channels, so with the advanced payment model i'd actually even save money over gandi's old pricing.

Another vote for Purelymail. Pricing is great. Easy to setup. It just works. Plus they have a mail migration tool.

It looks like there is a bus factor of 1. Is this not a concern for you?

I've been pretty happy with mailbox.org, German based and has support for various keys to use with custom domains (SPF/DKIM) including the ability to have the same custom domain used across multiple accounts (nice for extended family domains and the like, safe as you still need to make the DNS changes on that provider).

Pricing is reasonable and the limited support interaction I've had has been good.

The webmail seems to be OX [1].
