I received the email on Monday. I, too, was in the boat of having friends & family using it. It was a mistake to trust their promises, but this was from back in the day of "do no evil." They said free forever, now ask me for >$1000 a year.

The insane thing is that almost everyone affected by this is likely to be highly technical, and in positions in which they have a say in how corporate spend happens.

I migrated away this week. I had to explain to my friends and family about this bait-and-switch, and have them all using Google Takeout. C'est la vie. I had not self-hosted mail infrastructure since I was a teeanger, but here I am again. Thanks, I guess?

I'm in the same boat as you, as my whole family has been using a custom domain for 15 years.

What did you migrate your users to? Did you manage to transfer emails/calendars?

iRedMail stack on a hetzner machine. Migrated mails with getmail and dovecot import, but it isn't perfect, and no calendar etc. But nobody is ever kicking me off a platform again.
