Now Zoho is cheap.
$2/user if you want imap (or active sync).
Used to be, but went up to $3, sadly. NTG was going to move to it, and it went up right as we tried to make the move. So we switched gears because the 50% price hike was a pretty big change to our numbers. We decided that Zimbra made more sense because of that. It tipped the scales for us.
I just did it last month and I swear it was $2.

Maybe it went down again? Perhaps they got a backlash over the price hike?

I like the features you get with Zimbra, like shared mailboxes, calendars etc. A feature comparison would be good between Zimbra and Mailcow.
Not a bad idea.

I never saw it higher.
So no idea what your reference is.

@JaredBusch We signed up ourselves. the site had always been $2 and when we signed up it had just jumped to $3. We payed it for a month or two.
I wonder if since then they have added a lower mail plan that is cheaper, because their base plan at the time that the price hike happened, included things beyond email much like GSuite, but we didn't want them, we were only getting the most basic offering because all that we wanted was email. We had no way to get less at the time.

I remember there being a post about this on ML when it happened

And pulling head head out of my ass, that cost on my invoice there is $1/user/month.
But I swear I read $2 when I did it.

Yeah, there was. But maybe they added more options since that time.

@JaredBusch nice. Going to look at moving to Zoho again. Got a customer about to move as well, this will be great for them.

I'd pay $2/user for Mail Lite with 30GB+ storage but not Zoho Docs.

Well WTF does this mean?
Do all 4 (current) users gian 25GB mailboxes for another $50/year? Because then, well that basically IS $1/user.

I might do so as well.
