Posteo pricing (lemmy.ml)

Been looking into Posteo and I saw the price for additional storage is 0.25/GB/month with a cap of 75GB. I calculated this to seem to be 18.75 (including the initial 4GB) per month. When looking at Proton, Tuta, and Startmail, this feels very expensive compared to their competitors. Is there something I'm missing here? Does Posteo do a bunch of stuff that warrants a high rate for the higher end compared to the very affordable low end?

Yeah, maybe something like that. I switched to Posteo (from Proton, which didn't have IMAP back then, and that from Gmail) like a decade ago. And something that I appreciate about it is that I've developed a practice/ habit of archiving or deleting old emails.

I save important photos, documents etc to my local disk and then delete the email. For context, I have 70 messages in my inbox.

Like I said above, the way I think about it is they don't want the cost of guaranteeing additional storage, but it's just a guess. If you were to send them an email and ask (I've sent a couple over the years, they respond to email), I'd be curious what their public response is.

Yeah I've been thinking about sending them a couple of emails to learn about their business decisions and structure. I'll reply about the responses I get!
