It has been several days since I set my MiaB. Here is a short passage about my experience thus far. I hope its not rude to post it on the forum. My MiaB is installed in DO and domain is registered at Namecheap.
I was using Protonmail(PM)before I made the shift. I left Protonmail due major lacking functionality. I must mention though, I had no issues with trust contrary to how I felt with Google products. I was a protonmail paid user.
- No functionality to program filters to enable mail redirections to other addresses based on any condition.
- Extreme cost. The cost increases a unbearably as domains, storage size increase.
- No matter how much people attest otherwise, even their paid support is unacceptable.
- Force inclusion of “sent by protonmail” upon each update for Android and no options to disable this even for paid users.
It sounds very well like I am trying to put Protonmail down but what I want to say is that I suffered enough at their hands. The point is I am absolutely in love with what MiaB offers. Its just what I need.
-
It offers a simple to use email solution. The Roundcude functionality. Roundcube doesn’t look at good as Outlook or Gmail. But RoundCube’s functionality is hands down far far superior.
-
I can run the setup multiple times. I don’t know why but its a nice feature of MiaB.
-
Functionality for additional domains is excellent. Just add the nameservers and set an alias and everything just works!
-
Nextcloud is tighly integrated. Apps are disabled for probably security reasons but the out of box functionalit is just right for Nextcloud.
-
Webhosting is out of the box! I do not have to spend time or money configuring a different server to host my personal page. I use MiaB and I save money.
-
I installed wireguard (my favourite VPN) and it works so great within the MiaB. No conflicts yet. I know I am not supposed to change the box but I just made this exception and it did not break my MiaB.
-
Automated backups of my data makes me stress less. Ive made an image of my Digital Ocean server and if MiaB someday gives an error, I will get that image up and running in no time.
-
I am not an IT administrator. MiAB still offered me great instructions to make my own email box. MiAB helped me do email right without wasting my time. That is a huge plus.
I am yet to see some downsides of MiaB. I do not think MiaB is without any down sides. May be I will find them in future and I will post any if I find. But I do would like to thanks the developers for making MiaB possible. Thank you very much.
