You may want to check out https://purelymail.com who are pretty close to your target pricing. I've been using them since forever and have no reasons to switch but it is always great to see more players in the niche!

I have thought about something like this, but what is the plan when law enforcement comes knocking and

- asks you to hand over all information about certain customers.

- accuses you of aiding the illegal activities happening through your service (copyright violations, CP, etc).

Handle it like any other email service does?

Interesting!

Just curious, if this is a completely greenfield project, why IMAP instead of JMAP?

This is coming from someone who works with IMAP on a daily basis and has rightfully grown a disdain for it.

I love the bare-bones landing page, many products have landed me as a customer due to that.

Do you have IMAP import? And CardDAV/CalDAV? Edit: also wildcards?

Thanks for your interest. IMAPsync migrations are supported. No CardDAV/CalDAV. For wildcards, do you mean catch all? If so, that is supported as well.
