Nuage Email

@benguedj what's actually involved with your tool? it's unclear what changes you're making. during the sign up process you just ask my to auth my gmail account without saying what will happen. i already have my domain emails setup with gmail, but can't remember the steps involved. maybe some mx settings, or forwarding to gmail and then confirming as an additional address nuage has a great simple design btw

@_jacksmith Our first case is to create domain name + email for people. We register the domain, create a redirection and provide you for free a SMTP server in just few clicks. For people who have already a domain, we will provide MX servers and create redirections for you so you can get emails instantly.

@benguedj This is a really interesting idea. If I understand correctly, you are registering the domains behind the scenes. How are you able to provide unlimited email addresses for free? And will you be auto-renewing them indefinitely? I would love to understand more about what the monetization plan is.

@kleneway Hey Kevin, you can create unlimited email addresses, which will be free for the first year :-). After the first year, if you have a lot of emails, we will give you a discount.

@benguedj Really cool product! But I'd love to have a clearer explanation on the pricing model :) I've just signed up, but I haven't been able to find any pricing explanation. @kleneway

@andreasduess more than twice the price for an overkill solution. We do provide domain name accredited by ICANN from our Gandi reseller program but we leave you the opportunity to bring your own if you already registered it. GSuite is very nice but a little bit overkill for most of us, and it is $5 per month per email. With Nuage you still use your actual gmail so you can still enjoy how great it is with just what you need on top, a custom email.

@ar_aubry Do you guys own the domain name if I register through Nuage?

@cliffdailey When you register your domain through Nuage, you own your domain, Gandi handle the technical side and we do handle the administrative part. It means that you talk to us but you can do whatever you want with it :)

@ar_aubry @cliffdailey With some tech knowledge, you can buy a domain (~$10) and use Mailgun (10,000 emails/month for free) to forward/send from Gmail over smtp.

@tomfme Thanks for the info, Tom. With this option, what email address shows up in the recipients "from" field when they receive a message from you? Your original gmail address or the alias one?

@livejamie Hey Jamie. Thanks for your feedback . In order to be as precise as I can, I'll answer point by point 😁 - If you already don't already own the domain, the domain is registered for you, and we create the email address, and connect it to your Gmail. - You'll receive an email on your new email with the instruction to setup the STMP in order to be able to send email from your new address. - Nothing happens to your Gmail, it says the same. You do own the domain and have full control on it. - In the future it'll cost $2/month per email. But as part of the PH community, the first year is free. - As for the support, we're using Intercom, and our support answer as fast as possible. - We obviously do not have access to your email /domain, except the access required for the setup. Your privacy remains safe. I understand your concern, and we are still working on the clarity of our message. Comments like yours help us improve. By the way, we do not require full access to your Gmail account, and never access/read your emails 😁

@tsnkff I appreciate the response. :) I wasn't technically asking the questions for myself just thinking of things you'd want to clarify on your homepage in order to communicate your message and be more effective. Best of luck! I've always enjoyed your main product.

@tsnkff @livejamie You are also offering the registered domain for free. Even if it's for an year, that's a great proposition. You may want to highlight these nuances also. After an year of free usage, are you going to restrict the user from moving to another SP if they prefer to?

@tsnkff agreed with @livejamie comments. The above should be either on the homepage, or an FAQ page that explains how it works. I landed on your homepage and bounced back here because I wasn't sure if/how it will solve my problem and I do have this problem.

@livejamie @tsnkff well on the point of privacy it depends if you consider Gmail safe which is questionable. Will you offer the ability to forward to other systems which are NOT Gmail? that would be much more interesting... like normal domains [non live.com, non outlook.com, non gmail.com, non yahoo.com etc]

@td_evans That's great to hear!

@rvpearson When great minds meet :)

@rbrandao We will charge $11.99 for a year for the .com. You can actually get all the prices from www.nuageapp.com or you can bring your own domain if you already registered it :)

@ar_aubry Nice! Do you have any screenshot on that domain working to compose new e-mails inside a regular account?

@rbrandao You receive your emails as usual, I would say the receiving part is invisible in your gmail. For the sender we give you a sender identity using your email. Here is a screenshot http://imgur.com/a/p9j9L Therefore you can choose to send your email using your usual address or the one we created for you :)

@ar_aubry @rbrandao This should be transparent on a 'Pricing' button at the bottom of your page. Force people to register for your service before showing pricing and conversions go 💩. Show them up front, especially considering your pricing does not suck at all, conversions go 🚀. Simples.

@ar_aubry do you accept Brazil domains? We have several customers that already have registered domains in Brazil (via registro.br) that could use your service.

@chrishannah thank's for these words :)
