If you're going to move your email... why not move it to something like O365?
$4 per user perhaps.

Approx. 30 mailboxes on multiple domains
Domains are free with most hosts, but mailboxes are not. So for Hosted Exchange, that's $120/mo USD. You can do a lot of Zimbra for that.
And per user not pricing with the OpenSource one just your hosted server

Yeah, $20-$40/mo should cover the capacity needed for that many users with Zimbra.

Just curious, but why are you going back to in house for your site? There are many good ones out there, it sounds like you're just on one that isn't performing very well for what you need.

There really aren't that many doing it well for lower cost, lower end email.

I don't mind paying a bit. But not $4/box/month.

I want to avoid the hazzle of selfhosting. Did that for a long time. My current hoster isn't bad, it's just their webspace which is slow at times. I know, I could use CF in front, but that's a workaround, not a fix.
Maybe I'll just choose their smallest package for mails and don't touch the webspace and use a VM for websites.

Haven't used, but highly recommended by colleagues. I have contacted sales/support for some very specific things and the answer was very fast and knowledgeable. -

That doesn't seem possible, other than their quota. It's not clear so that's a total quota for the account, so you only pay by the storage amount?

@scottalanmiller
It is a quota for the account. I only cared about the dedicated and reseller plans.
The servers are hosted on VMs on OVH Cloudunder OVH's Digital Launch Pad and the company is registered in Czech Republic; I would say that would explain the prices. You can contact them, they answer quickly.Anyway, I have no affiliation. They were an option as other colleagues recommended it heavily. In the end I need full control so I am hosting Mailcow

How do they stack up to MailBear?
-
That website is sparse, very hard to tell what is there.

Lol hahahah, I see what you did there.

Jokes aside, Mailcow works very well and the author's support is awesome; this one I use and recommend.
I would say that Mailcheap's web site has lots of information, but that's me. I don't use it as I host my own email (besides using Office 365/G Suite/others depending on the client). I just seemed to me that it checked all @thwr needs while being recommended by people I trust.
