Email without the bundle: pay only for email
Email without an office bundle: pay only for email
You need email, not a complete software package. Yet email is often tucked away in a broad bundle: you take out a subscription to a full office suite and the mailbox is just a small part of it. You're then also paying for word processors, spreadsheets, chat tools and storage services, even if you do those with another program or don't use them at all.
It can also be the other way around: you deliberately choose email, and only email. One mailbox on your own domain, one clear price, and no further ballast. That's what this page is about.
Why this matters
For most self-employed people and small organisations, professional communication is about reliable emailing, not about a collection of tools competing for your attention. A broad bundle brings three kinds of burden:
- You pay for what you don't use. The more the package contains, the higher the price, including for parts that gather dust.
- It becomes more complex than necessary. More features means more settings, more notifications and more choices. For something as basic as email, that's rarely a gain.
- Your data location isn't always clear. Large American cloud suites by no means always store your messages in Europe. If you work with customer or personal data, it matters which rules your email falls under.
One of our customers, business owner Wim, summed it up as: no fuss with AI or other unnecessary bells and whistles. That's exactly the point. Email should make your work easier, not more complicated. Read more about that deliberate choice in email without AI gimmicks.
What you get
Email without the bundle is not stripped-down email. You get a full, professional mailbox, just without the rest of the suite around it. Concretely:
- Email on your own domain. Addresses like
you@yourbusiness.be, with your name behind the @. You bring your own domain, or we register one for you. - Webmail on any device. You log in via the browser at webmail.mailflux.eu and you're straight into your mailbox, no installation needed. Prefer a mail program on your computer or phone? All common mail software just works, via POP, IMAP and SMTP.
- Security as standard. Antivirus, antispam and antimalware are in every plan, together with ML-driven filtering against spam, phishing and malware. Two-factor authentication (2FA) can be switched on optionally.
- Automatic backups. Every plan includes backups, so your messages are safe.
- 20 free aliases. Extra addresses like
info@orsales@under the same domain, at no extra cost. - European hosting, GDPR-compliant. Your mailboxes are in Europe, so no one reads along uninvited.
Want a calendar, task list and contact management too (with CardDAV and CalDAV)? Then you choose a more extensive plan, but it stays email-focused, not a whole office suite. What that choice looks like is explained in email on your own domain.
Weighed up at the concept level
The difference with a full office suite isn't in the quality of your email, but in what you're paying for and where your data is stored. A suite bundles email with a broad range of office tools under one subscription; an email-first approach gives you only the mailbox. If you do use those office tools, a suite may fit. If you mainly use email, then with a bundle you're paying for thin air.
The same goes for privacy. Where your messages are physically stored determines which legislation they fall under. European hosting keeps your data within the European privacy rules: a deliberate choice, certainly in a sensitive sector.
There's also a difference in complexity. A broad suite is built to let you do as much as possible: that brings menus, settings and notifications you have to navigate through to reach your email. An email-first approach does one thing well. You log in and you're working on your mail, not on switching off features you never asked for. For anyone who wants to keep email simple, that in itself is already a gain.
Price & requesting
The price is as clear as the approach. You pay per mailbox per month, billed annually:
| Plan | Price | Storage | Extra |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | €4.99 | 8 GB | standard antimalware |
| Pro | €6.99 | 25 GB | premium antimalware, calendar, task list, CardDAV & CalDAV |
| Premium | €9.99 | 50 GB (expandable to 100 GB) | premium antimalware, calendar, task list, CardDAV & CalDAV |
There's nothing more than that: no bundle costs, no tools you never open, and no temporary intro rate that quietly shoots up later. What you see is what you pay, year after year.
