Strictly speaking it's not a price increase, the 1 EUR plan is still there. However, support for custom domains has been removed and is only available from 3 EUR plan and upwards under the new pricing scheme.
I'm kind of grandfathered into the old 1 EUR plan that still supports custom domains, but I can't extend it any further. This means when my account credit dries up I need to choose one of the new pricing schemes ( 1 eur w/o custom domain vs 3 eur ... etc.)
Did not know this... Also currently on the 1 EUR plan since it was the best bang for buck that included custom domains. Might start looking into other options when my plan runs out
Search your inbox, they (mailbox.org admin) have sent multiple emails in the past urging users to choose between the new pricing schemes.
As for the alternatives, I'm considering runbox.com and migadu.com, but not entirely sure.
migadu does seem like a good option. Curious what you have chosen? I am also looking at fastmail standard to replace simplelogin email aliasing since it would be the same price as simplelogin + migadu/runbox.
Sorry for the late answer. I ended up choosing Midagu for the time being. Unlimited inbox sounded attractive enough as using alias in my use case wasn't cutting it.
I ended up just doing skiff free version for the time being. It is allowing me to use custom domain and it gives me a couple skiff aliases I can use. Only thing I don't like is it forces me to use the app and no notifications without Google play services.
I see. The authorized-app-only approach was deal breaker in my case, as I needed imap/smtp. Hope it works for you well.
Yeah. Not sure it will be a long term solution. But needed something for now while I migrate away from mailbox.org. Thankfully I didn't use the mailbox.org aliases much so it is pretty simple to switch providers.
