Email server nightmare
-
At least I think it is the server, currently I am using Arvixe purely as a domain and email server. Windows 10 mail client, outlook on the phone and gmail (as a backup client) everywhere. Mail (the win 10 version) recently stopped sending mail, incoming was fine. I reset the client and 2 weeks worth mail suddenly arrived in various peoples inboxes. Now as paranoia set in I am checking multiple clients and finding missing emails from the arvixe domain. So I purchased MS365 only to learn it no longer supports anything but outlook and gmail accounts - cancelled subscription instantly. So I am now trying to decide whether to get another client or chuck arvixe for ASP.NET Core Blazor Hosting[^] So advice from the hive mind would be appreciated.

I'll tell you what I've told my good friend a number of times (once even, regarding his use of an old email service) - when you start having to look over your shoulder while using something, or when you spend more time working against it than working with it, it's time to move on. Email is critical, so I think the "looking over your shoulder" bit applies here. The question becomes, what's peace of mind worth to you? If gmail accounts and outlook accounts work everywhere, then maybe it pays to go with the flow, especially if you already have said accounts. I keep my email simple, over a very public broadly accessible (and reliable) service and I've only had serious delivery issues twice in over a decade, and each time they were resolved within 48 hours. That's worth it to me. The downside of such a public service is no matter how reliable a service, it becomes a honeypot as a consequence, so there's always the question of it getting cracked, but then that's true of anything. Everything is potentially a target. On balance, I find the reliability of a large public email service beats the security concerns it ostensibly raises.

It seems that you can install OX App Suite for free as a ready-to-use virtual machine image via Univention App Center[^]

I use Arvixe for much the same purposes as you, and Mail was just a PITA, but Outlook Express / Microsoft Internet Mail died ages ago, and MS removed it from their servers just to rub salt into the wound. I use "straight" Outlook, from my Office 2019 installation, and it works just fine with Arvixe for me. A quick Google finds many suppliers still selling it pretty cheap ...

I use Arvixe as well - no issues with email that I'm aware of. Get on their live chat and tell them what's happening, and they'll likely be able to fix it. FWIW, I use Thunderbird for my email client.

I’ve had my domain since 1992.
