Runbox Calendar (CalDav)
Hi all,
I am a Fastmail Folk. How's everything at Runbox? I am looking into Runbox offerings and just found that its calendar doesn't have a front-end. Could anyone please tell me what features does a user get in browser? By the way, how does Runbox treat its family accounts? Many thanks. Mek |

I was very surprised and disappointed that RunBox would implement a "calendaring" solution without a front end. It does not make any sense to me but it is what it is. My understanding is that a front end for calendaring is quite a ways off and in RunBox terms that probably means 2-3 years.
Family accounts are handled very well. You can setup sub accounts and manage them through the primary user's account. |

Family Matters!
The way Runbox is handling family accounts is really appreciative but I am not sure why they are missing something critical like a mobile app and/or front-end calendar. So now, when Fastmail stopped selling new family accounts, I am thinking to run to Runbox. I am also considering mailbox.org - a good alternate provider - but less control as admin.
I assume that most of the users at Runbox are above 40 years. I am just assuming. |

Runbox family accounts are really competitive against new Fastmail plans (as well as legacy plans) but I don't know how they'll treat them in near future. I am afraid of a sudden spike without alerting customers. |

We dont use the term "family accounts", but I guess you mean sub-accounts?
If so, the pricing for those have not changed much over the last years and their are no plans for future changes. No, we dont collect such information. |

According to help documents, "sub-accounts" are not entitled with 100 aliases, and cannot buy additional mail/file-storage quota like "main-account". Did I get it right? Last edited by mekitron : 22 Aug 2016 at 06:30 PM. |

Sub-accounts do have 100 aliases, but they cannot purchase or have add-ons purchased for them by default. This means (as you say) they cannot buy more mail/file storage like Main accounts can. I hope that helps.

I think, default 100 aliases are great. And, there is a trick hidden there which multiplies the number of aliases dramatically. Just don't turn-off synonyms. Many thanks. |

Yes, that's correct. If one of the aliases you are using on a synonymous domain starts getting spam, you can always put a filter in place to delete those messages
