I am excited to see your email product!
I love the
* flat rate service!
* catch-all email
* API
* proper separation of mailboxes and aliases
At these prices, I would love to be able to pay for 10 years of service up front!
Would also love it if you would allow account recovery via certified mail.[**]
My hope is that you would not feature creep too much. Offering video conferencing feels like I should be paying more, but I don't need an office suite, I really just want the email service.

I've been a pretty happy dreamhost customer, because they offer flat-rate email bundled with their shared hosting. However, they:
* do not have API administration
* do not have a catch-all feature
* require that you have another email address on file [**]
* provide service only when you buy a hosting plan for $$$/year
[**] At dreamhost, they require that I have a non-dreamhost account to which they can send recovery codes. This means I can be hacked if someone compromises dreamhost OR if someone compromises proton mail.

As a current and happy Migadu user, I’d love to try and potentially switch. They have pages dedicated to an honest list of downsides which would be a good addition plus some details on your infra, security, deliverability and practical limitations. Feel free to reach out, happy to provide 1 on 1 feedback.
