Mailbox.org is “fine,” in that in the years I’ve been using it I haven’t had any major crises or issues. But there are a litany of annoyances and ways it falls short, and the pace of development is glacial to nonexistent. For instance:
- They only very recently implemented real 2FA. It took them years of development for this standard feature!
- The online interface has improved substantially after a recent refresh but is still somewhat slow and clunky. I use my email via IMAP, but I still have to dive into the online interface for things like setting up filters, managing aliases, etc.
- The spam filter is bad. It was letting spam through, so I followed their documentation on how to strengthen it a bit, and it started randomly rejecting legitimate emails. When I contacted support about it they acknowledged the false positives issue and told me to revert it to the settings that were letting some spam through.
- They advertise having a whole office suite but many of the features are half-baked. Fortunately I don’t really need or use many of them but it’s worth being aware of.
Altogether it’s not been a nightmare but it has left me wanting something better.
