DreamHost Email Pros and Cons

Easy setup, free, works right away and has an easy accessible online web interface. Email delivery is reliable. Basic spam filter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Web Interface is a little hard to understand when you first start using it. Setup on phone or desktop (e.g. Outlook app) is cubersome and not automated. You have to

Enter smtp servers manually and most users have trouble with that. No multi factor authentication for security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was easy to set up and forward to another email client. When using the webmail client, I liked the signature options and the ability to set up different identities. It's been nice to have a custom domain email address that's connected to my website account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At first, I had been forwarding everything to my Gmail account, which worked great until I realized my Dreamhost plan had a size limit so I needed to keep an eye on that account too. I stopped forwarding and started using the webmail client instead, but it is clunky and very slow to load and search all folders. But I did like knowing that I was working with the original emails instead of forwarded versions. I recently set up IMAP to Apple Mail and I think it will be much better this way.

In the last month, we suffered some outgoing email server maintenance outages. That was not reported to administrators. We lost some time checking our systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like how a custom-domain e-mail can be created using DreamHost Email. I have used this to get a personalized email for a specific project that I am working on and it has been great for that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is very simple and so is functionality. I imagine that there will be updates in the future that brings in new features. There is a lot less features available than there would be like in Outlook or Google, for example. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
