I really like your site's design. I'm wondering how does improvmx differ from the Open Source and free ?
I'm using ImprovMX (and not affiliated in any way). From a quick glance at the docs, I'd say there are not a lot of functional differences, but ImprovMX is so much easier to set up, it's ridiculous.

Thank you for your message, I'm really glad you find the setup for ImprovMX ridiculously easy :)

Hi Bruno, Thank you for your warm word! In term of functionality, we provide a few bits more than ForwardEmail, including aliases, multiple destinations, logs, and webhooks. We also have a few other ideas in mind to implement. In term of speed, we forward an email under 4 seconds on average (including a blocking 3s at the start of the SMTP communication to discourage spammers. So in reality, once we have the email, it takes us less than a second to forward it). Hope that answers your question :)
ForwardEmail definitely allows aliases (and for free). My experience of ImprovMX's free plan when I used it a few months ago was a bit disappointing because an entire day's worth of emails went undelivered (ie. they were permanently lost). When I contacted your support email, I was told this was because your server had been suffering a DDoS attack. I then switched to ForwardEmail and have had no issues whatsoever. I agree that the UX on ImprovMX is considerably easier than for ForwardEmail, and that's something that could be a Unique Selling Point. Have you implemented any measures to prevent a DDoS attack from affecting your service in future?

We did! Following the issue, we implemented HaProxy on top of SMTP to ensure multiple processes, on multiple servers, are running at the same time. Since then, the service has been running smoothly and we had no issue about dropped emails since then :) I'm sorry about the bad experience you had. We are working every day to improve the quality of the service and avoid these in the future!

Hi everyone! Excited to be on ProductHunt today to share ImprovMX. We acquired it more than a year ago and we worked hard to improve the service, the deliverability, and the user interface. The design is brand new and it's just the tip of the iceberg. On the servers, we completely rewrote the mail server ourselves to handle the edge cases we had and it has been working quite smoothly. Email forwarding has been present in the main hosting provider for years, but we fill that this feature is often overlooked or missing much powerful stuff, that we have implemented or plan to implement. Hope you'll like it!

Been using ImprovMX for a while and it's been great to not have to pay Google for a new GSuite account every time I get a new URL. Super easy to setup and fills a big need.

Pros:

Easy setup, fills a huge need

Cons:

Big price jump from free to $9/mo... would love something in the middle there.

I've been using ImprovMX for around 6 months now on my domains, I only need 1 inbox for everything.

Pros:

Don't miss any mail

Cons:

Not any I can think of

Using it for few months now, and definitely recommend it. I usually use it when I create stuff with , in order to have a landing page with emails in minutes. Congrats to and for this great product.

Thank you! I'm glad to know you like it! :)

I'm using a little over 3 months and a bit of a pretty efficient service

Pros:

Free, design and easy (no password to auth 😄)

Cons:

rarely has a delay.

I've been using this for over a year and I'm very happy with the free plan. The domains that I own whose TLDs are not supported by Google Domains are registered on some sites that don't offer wildcard email forwarding for free, so I use ImprovMX to accomplish that.

Pros:

Quick setup, magic login links, and most importantly, wildcard forwards.

Cons:

Not-so-instant delivery

Easy way of addding aliases to your gmail account

Pros:

Easy to setup, works flawlessly

Cons:

None

I’ve been using this service for about a year. So far no issues! Lovely redesign

Thank you!
Thank YOU! I’m so happy I can even use it to send emails using my domain email address for free through Gmail 😍 and it was very easy to set up thanks to the thoughtfully written instructions
Maker
I'm glad you are happy with it! That's the aim :) Thank you!
Hi , thanks for this awesome product! I have a question: how do you do passwordless authentication? Is it just a cookie saved from when I verified my email?
Maker
Thank you! We send you a one-time login link that contains a unique token (which allows us to identify your account). When you open that link, we store the session in local storage (instead of cookies) to keep you connected. Note that we also allow connection by login and password: You just need to set a password in your Account settings and you'll be all set :)
that's actually a really cool idea! Its pretty interesting to see how many different ways people are doing logins/signups.. this one has to be the most frictionless i've seen yet!
Maker
Thank you. That was the idea, but we got requests from other people that they wanted a login/pass way because of many reasons (they don't know how to proceed, they want to use their password manager or store their credentials in the browser, etc). That's why we finally implemented both.
