Hello All,
> But if you want an alternative to gmail and don't want to set up your
own mail server and stuffs, i would recommend you to try Mailgun. This
email service is intended for mainly developers and you can do lot's of
amazing stuffs with it, e.g. set up your own mail interface, mobile
application and retrieve your mails from mailgun and store in your
database. [Yuv Joodhisty]
Looked up Mailgun. The concept is great but not for personal email
because of the hassle - I can think up a number of use cases where I can
plug this, although as far as business usage is concerned it might be
pretty expensive (if the load of emails exchanged increases, it might
hurt the budget pretty bad).

True there have been no “major” changes for a long time, but it feels
solid and there is no cross-platform and opensource application that can
stand up to it (balance of simplicity and power), YET. If you know a
solid cross-platform alternative, would be glad to hear.

recommend it. [Daniel Laeng]
Glad to hear that. I have been planning to go for a paid plan, hence my
inquiry. I have started a trial account, but have yet to decide whether
to move my current domain or use a subdomain / another domain instead.
Will see.
Thanks all for your input
