January 11, 201115 yr Is there away I can use unraid as my own email server? There is probably a way to do it, though I have not looked into it. With things like gmail and stuff being free, I don't see much of a point in setting up my own email server.
January 11, 201115 yr Only real reason I've never attempted is I'd rather not hang my unRAID out there with inbound and outbound connections. All need is somebody sniffing my machine trying to break in via an open port.

January 11, 201115 yr Author slighty off topic what email service do you recommend that supports IMAP at a resonable price? Don't say google, I am using them now and would like to try something different and to be honest I don't trust them.
January 11, 201115 yr I did a google search and found well honestly tons of them, but Not sure exactly what your requirements would be and heres the search I used. http://tinyurl.com/6yd8zsm
January 12, 201115 yr slighty off topic what email service do you recommend that supports IMAP at a resonable price? Don't say google, I am using them now and would like to try something different and to be honest I don't trust them. I've always liked to roll with my own domain, that way if I ever change providers I can take my email addresses with me. I know you don't say Google, but for $10/year you can get your own domain and all the Google Apps stuff. But, if you don't like Google, there are plenty of high quality shared web hosts that support pretty much unlimited IMAP addresses. I use sharkspace as my web host and am very happy with them. But I ended up ditching the included email to have Google host it, as their spam filters are stellar.
January 12, 201115 yr $50/year is for Google Apps for Business. You want regular Google Apps, up to 50 accounts: http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/group/index.html The $10/year is for the domain registration.
January 12, 201115 yr Author Here's what I am going with $12 a year, I already have my domain https://order.1and1.com/xml/order/Mail;jsessionid=D7802AC13A68BEBFFB46F44F0230E93E.TCpfix142b?__frame=_top&__lf=Order-Tariff&linkOrigin=MailXchange&linkId=hd.tab.packageselection

I believe you can sign up for that service for free if it is for personal use. Only reason why I use Google Mail with my own domain is I'm able to get email from every where.
