Most people don't hit the bandwidth limit unless they're really using 33mail a lot. I've been using 33mail heavily for a decade and my monthly usage is 40MB which puts me in the premium tier, but I'm near the top percentile of bandwidth usage.
The premium tier also has a lot of other benefits, like custom domains and anonymous replies - so lots of users upgrade to it without being close to the bandwidth limit.
If you do hit the limit we'll first make sure that it's not just a temporary spike, and then we'll send a few warning emails.
At this point you can entire upgrade or block some aliases you don't need that are using a lot of bandwidth, this is fairly easy to do in our UI.
It is extremely rare that we've had to block a user due to excessive bandwidth usage, in fact I'm not sure we've ever had to do that.
Cool, thanks I signed up and set up a custom domain so hopefully I won't get caught by the disposable email blacklist that other commenters were talking about.
the only other issue I'm seeing is that the website isn't really great on mobile, my wife mostly does stuff on her phone (despite us having like 10 computers lol) and that might be a small barrier, though after sending a test email I see that it can be managed inside w/e email client you use, so that shouldn't be too much of an impediment for her.
Hey so I had one more question, I noticed that the premium account gets you one more username but you're still stuck with only 1 custom domain... wouldn't it make sense to get 2 domains to match the number of usernames?
I guess the same kinda applies to pro, you actually have 6 usernames but only 5 domains...
