Email service for small business: something companies can use in combination with Box.com / Dropbox.com or other cloud storage instead of Google Apps. This is not really idea but more of our need: we started using more Box (and Dropbox) instead of Google Drive but we are stuck with email provided via Google Apps. There is no other service on the market as Google Apps email for small business.

(I tried FastMail, Atmail, Rackspace, and none of them is a good alternative).

Why not?


- interface is clunky

- no nice mobile app

- does not integrate with third-party systems (yea "not their problem" but they should do something to promote 3rd party system to integrate with them)

- spam filter is not so great (false positive is the problem - I'm ok having occasional spam in inbox, but email from wife linking some stuff I need order is really annoying.)

It is kinda hard to pinpoint the main reason...


I'm pretty sure that it is not what you are looking for, but http://proxy4.us can forward your domain's emails to your existing inbox (like @gmail.com).


Office 365 is a good alternative if you use Windows.


Actually, Office 365 is currently the best alternative. But I kinda don't trust MS - this is startup idea.


What?
