No more free email account?

Yes, the feature was disabled. The system was very limited to begin with, and has been quite broken more recently. A (definitely non-exhaustive) list of issues:

  • Only 10 MB of storage per account.
  • No IMAP, POP or SMTP. Only RoundCube webmail.
  • Forwarders which hardly ever came through (mostly due to inherent problems with email forwarding).
  • Emails not getting sent because of bad IP reputation.
  • Emails not arriving because of technical issues.
  • The mail server being down quite often for quite long periods of time.
  • Extremely strict sending restrictions, e.g. only 1 recipient per message.

The mail system is so broken that to call it a feature would reflect badly upon the website hosting itself, which has always been our main focus.
