I was desperately in a need of such product. Have been using pathetic Yahoo client for my WordPress.com forwarder email. I'm 403 in line, hope to get one soon.
This looks great! One of the interesting problems I've run into using G Suite for a personal email address is that many features that Google pushes out are not initially available. Once they are available, you usually need to opt into them individually. For example:
- You couldn't use Inbox by Gmail at launch.
- Certain features offered by Google Assistant are not available with a G Suite account.
- You cannot use Google Fi with a G Suite account. Apparently this is coming soon, but I would expect the integration to be somewhat limited. See the point below.
- You have to individually whitelist Apps in two places before you're able to download them via Play Store (beta) on a Chromebook.
I'm sure the list is larger than that. Maybe other members of the community can chime in on the restrictions that cause them trouble from time to time.
How does Nuage Email get around these restrictions? What if I use Inbox, Spark, or even the native iOS email client for my email? Lastly, is there an easy way to switch over to Nuage Email from G Suite?

@badhairday Nuage is just an alias: https://support.google.com/mail/...
Inbox, Spark, the Gmail app etc. all supports aliases. The native iOS app doesn't, unless there is an hack/workaround that I don't know :)

@emilstahl@badhairday Hey Michael and Emil ! I'm totally agree with you and that's why we redirect the mail to your Gmail like this you are free to setup your gmail inbox anywhere you want.
This is not just an alias, we provide you the domain name with the correct DNS setup. We want to remove the pain of the setup and provide all the package: domain + mail for no-technical people.
Report
@benguedj In regards to how it works compared to G Suite (Google Apps), yes it is just an (domain) alias.

Wow this has a lot of upvotes for something that forwards your email to a gmail account. I've been doing this since the early days of gmail without much difficulty. Now I just use GSuite and get all the advanced features of your email ACTUALLY going to that domain instead of being forwarded off. Plus no ads. Well worth it if you ask me.

@_jacurtis Hey J. Alexandre, we register for your the domain name, we don't only make a forward. We try to remove the pain of DNS setup that you have when you want to connect to a Gsuite service. Wee also provide free redirections and an SMTP servers so you can send email through our service.

Wow, it seems like a dream product here 😺
And onboarding is super smooth, congrats on making it guys 👏
My question is : what's the monetization behind? How much do you charge for it? 🤔

@matthieudeluze Thank's for these nice words. We give you unlimited free emails for a year during our producthunt campain, otherwise we charge $2 per month per email, no engagement you can create and cancel anytime you want.
Report
@ar_aubry Alright thanks for your super fast answers, that's a good deal 👌
I suggest maybe you should add some details to make it more clear what are the $2 fee for when checking out in the registration process but that's also part of the game I think 😸

@matthieudeluze we want to be super transparent, but I guess it's not that clear. In fact to create a redirection on your gmail address, we need some setup in our smtp servers, which obviously has a price. The whole point is flexibility, you pay what you get and you stop when you want.

@ar_aubry The $2 fee wasn't entirely clear to me as well during setup. I saw the strikeout text; however wasn't sure if that was per domain, per month, etc. Was about to ask here until I found this comment.
(In addition to hosts that provide this) DNSIMPLE also provides email forwarding for $2/mo and was thinking about using it with my ISNIC domain email. Nuage may be the easier option to opt for.

If I have my own domain, what benefits it gives to me?

@perpetuous Hey Sergey, If you have your own domain, you can setup it through our MX and manage your emais for free with no pain.

@benguedj actually I'm staying in queue (>500) and can do nothing. For several hours.
While I have no issue with setting up forwarding and alias in gmail myself I admit that it's a pain in the ass. Especially now, when you have to disable safety features for it to work properly and probably visit 3 different help articles to get everything right.
Well done. Unlikely to be a user, but I can see the value for non-technical folks.

Hi Guys! 💥
Remember us? We launched Nuage 3 months ago.
After working on the domain names for the pasts months, we’ve gathered a lot of feedbacks from more than 20.000 domains.
We all want a custom email address that reflects our identity, instead of this very common “@ gmail.com”. There is no simple way to do it.
Today, we’re introducing Nuage Email. The easiest way to create a custom email, directly linked to your Gmail account.
You just pick a name, we do all the hard work. Instant setup, we don’t touch your existing account. No needs to change your habits.
Today we decided to offer you unlimited emails, for free.
Cool, huh? 😎
Go ahead and come talk with us, and feel free to ask us any question.
We’d love to hear from you.
