Has anyone used Rackspace Email service? Any experience with it?
It was great a decade ago. Was not aware that it even still existed. Was dirt cheap, and super basic, but did the trick. It was the best $1/user email we could find.

How is rackspace support in general?
The worst. So bad we won't touch anything Rackspace anymore for any purpose.

Since you guys gave rackspace support such a glowing review, I will not even consider them as an option.
Thanks! -
@Pete-S
I know you already decided and my comment add no real value to your decision. But I want to add up that I used their email services until about 2 years ago for a critical domain:- The email service worked well
- The anti SPAM was too basic and was the main reason to move out
- Support was generally good and sometimes really bad. The fact that I had to call support says a lot as I am used to solve things on my own; calling support only when there are no other options.
-
I had a client on RS through NTG - it was great for years.. but then they started killing off features, like - couldn't add ActiveSync to specific mailboxes anymore. Plus I think the price was increasing...
So they moved to Zoho - and they hate it.
But Scott will be quick to point out they hate it because they are using the wrong tools for the job.
On the phone - phone built in email app, not the Zoho mobile App
On the desktop - They use Outlook 2016 in IMAP - there is a constant sync issue between the outlook client/webclient and phone client.other desktops - Zoho webmail - this interface looks like crap IMO. I personally like OWA, others like Gmail, etc.. so this is generally a personal thing. whatev's...

Basically just looking for basic IMAP hosting but rock solid and with decent anti-spam and SMTP servers that don't get blacklisted every other day. And that has solid support that are capable of fixing any problems with the service (not just hand-holding customers).

Got it. Then, in my opinion, Rackspace is not a fit for your requirements unless thay have made major changes in the last 2 years -

that's the weak point.

For that, Zoho is cheaper anyway. Just $1 and way better service IMHO.

You get ActiveSync or WTF ever for that $1 also now on the MailLite plan.

I really like their interface. Shows how people are different. I especially like the docs.

Zoho? They have my favourite, too.
