CraneMail Features
Professional Business Email Suite with Collaboration Features
Fully featured business mail suite with all the fixings - cloud file storage & folder sharing, contact and calendar sharing, chat, online meetings (voice/video), tasklist management/notes, and much more. Powered by SmarterMail, you can dive into the full feature set and documentation here.
Amazing Webmail Experience
The webmail user experience has been a huge hit with our beta testers, offering a much more Outlook-like experience for email. Mail, contacts, calendars, online meetings and tasks are closely integrated as you’d expect with something like Google Workspace.
Get more details on the webmail features and additional screenshots here.
Included Cloud Storage
All plans offer a combined amount of storage for mail and files. Easily upload and share large files with family/coworkers or in email/publicly via URL. WebDAV support is still being developed but will be available in the future, so you can utilize the storage with rClone and other desktop sync tools.
Cloud connect features let you sign into your existing cloud storage accounts and browse/manage files, plus copy them over to your CraneMail account.
IMAP/SMTP/POP Support, plus free eM Client Pro licenses
Standard mail options for utilizing the service with your own clients. Also, each domain gets access to 3 free Pro licenses for eM Client.
Built-in Mail Migration
Easily move your mailboxes from your existing providers with the built-in mail migration tool. Provide your existing email account’s login details, or authenticate your gmail/outlook/etc accounts, and start a bulk mail move from your current mail provider that runs in the background.
Gmail/Google Workspace, Outlook/Office365, and standard mail providers with IMAP have worked excellently for our beta testers. iCloud mail migrations haven’t been as successful though.
Premium Spam Filtering from SpamExperts
Bundled with every CraneMail account is spam filtering from SpamExperts. Filtering is done via our on-prem SpamExperts nodes. You get access to the control panel to tune spam filtering settings, release/train mail, and more.
Great Email Deliverability
Mail is sent via our own spam filtering outbound relays to retain our clean sender reputation and make sure the mail we send ends up in the recipient's inbox. We’ve built a sufficient reputation with large mail providers in the last few months and feel confident in our ability to deliver your messages.
Our default sending limits are 300 emails/hour per domain. This isn’t a service for bulk mailing, marketing emails, etc - it’s a primarily inbound business/personal email hosting service.
No Per-Mailbox Costs, Easy Administration
Your domain administrator access allows you to easily add, impersonate (login as), and manage your users. We don’t limit mailboxes so you can create as many as you need without increasing your bill.
Primary domains allowed on each plan are effectively separate overall accounts per-domain. These are limited based on the size of plan you purchase. We don’t limit domain aliases (multiple domains attached to the same mailboxes).
Other Features That Set CraneMail Apart
- 2-Factor Authentication for Webmail
- Voice/Video/Text chat (XMPP/Jabber) with external client support, file sharing w/ previews
- Contact & Calendar Sharing, full CardDAV/CalDAV support
- Fetch emails from your mailboxes with other email providers - screenshot
- OnlyOffice web-based document editing for documents/spreadsheets/presentations (BETA)
- Email archiving - keep an extra copy of in/outbound mail for certain mailboxes, so you never accidentally delete a message (counted against main storage)
- Simple unsubscribe for newsletters/mailing lists
- Much much much more. Seriously we can’t list it all, this would be 10x as long. Check out SmarterMail’s site for the full feature set.
Technical Details
CraneMail nodes use ZFS-backed storage with mirrored NVMe storage for mail. Offsite backups are taken daily for disaster recovery purposes only - not individual account restores or accidental email deletion (use the Email Archiving feature!). Backup frequency will increase in coming months. 10 gigabit networking for fast uploads/file sharing.
At launch CraneMail is only available in our US (Las Vegas) datacenter.

Reseller Plans
We’re also launching reseller plans today which include all of the above features, but allow you to resell custom plans to your own clients. We’re proud of the feature set as it stands, but are still actively developing reseller functionality.
White Label Server Names & Login Page URL
Domains selected/connected to the service are whitelabeled, plus as a reseller you have the ability to create a custom login page on your domain. Your customers can easily login to their webmail/administration or SpamExperts directly.
As we add servers/locations, the login page will stay the same and allow for a single point of login no matter which server a specific client is on. Branding, customization and more for this page is currently being developed.
Extensive Plan Customization & Upsell Potential
Create very precise, custom plans for your clients and upsell them on the features we include. Limit accounts by the standard specs: disk space, mailbox count, and aliases. You can also include or upsell specific features like email archiving, SpamExperts filtering, cloud/file storage features, and the (still in beta) online document editing.
WHMCS & Blesta Billing Modules
Francisco has been working hard the past week and launched both WHMCS and Blesta billing modules so you can easily deploy, modify, suspend, and terminate customer accounts.
Modules are available on the NameCrane Github:
WHMCS Module
Blesta Module
Reseller Launch Discount
As we’re still actively building out the reseller featureset to allow more tweaking and customization we’re extending a first invoice launch discount.
Use the coupon mailresellerlaunch30 for a 30% discount on your first invoice - any sized plan, any billing term.

Update Nov 30th: Primary Domain limits increased to 15 each on the Black Friday Plan & Lifetime. Sending limit increased to 600 emails sent/hr per domain on all plans. These changes will be bulk applied to all who have already purchased as well.

Awesome! Glad to see this finally released!
Now, to place an order...
Don't want to derail this, but NC going to ever have any lifetime plan, even BF flash sale, that's not email based?
I can see myself needing a DA hosting plan in a few years, but still not sure how I'd use this, yet I want to support NC... You don't bet against Fran.
Email is literally the icing to the cake. For the 100 GB storage alone... this is plan is worth it. Esp the 3 year option

Glad to likely be one of the first few to take advantage of the 250G lifetime. Thanks again Fran!
@NameCrane if an EU location comes in the future, would I be able to move the Lifetime plan to the EU (with no data)?

get the three year 100 GB Now, and the Lifetime in EU later if offered. (i.e. both, edited as per my response below)
Come 'On it's cheap... helps me justify MY purchase too..

I really really want to get one. Something says to me that I will regret in the future if I don't do it.
But I'm not really sure...
Answer is NO (from thread on OGF).
No migrations allowed unfortunately.
CC: @vyas
Yup, I'd read that on OGF.. that's why I wrote- get both ! 100 gig now (US), Lifetime (when offered, EU- later).

Sad, alrighty.
Still thinking between lifetime and the $20 one

SM supports migrations right from inside the portal as Mike showed.
EU's an early next year thing. We just need to make sure we get GDPR certified or whatever the hell it is. We'll need it for domains anyway.
Francisco
Need to figure out how to read better, I somehow missed the File Storage.
If NC had an alt plan like 250-350GB storage, without the email stuff, licensing, bare bones and redunant - something like a rsync.net alternative... I'd jump on it ASAP. Even for a low amount lifetime.
tl;dr - is there a way to strip out the email and licensing costs to get 100gb or something more?
Smtp2go is really good and email's taken care of between CloudFlare for forwarding, but I want in on something lifetime to support NC if possible @Francisco - personally trust you far more than the 'lifetime 1TB host' of the week on StackSocial.
In for a lifetime, now you'll never get rid of me till I'm/you're 6 ft under!
Head Janitor @ LES • About • Rules • Support
Probably not, that's crossing into markets we didn't want to get into.
Email is something we've wanted to do since 2021. It pairs well with Domains, and we get a lot of tickets about it.
$69.42 for LT is a pretty great deal and I think would cover your bases.
Francisco
Yeah, once I saw the file storage + Fran, wanted it.
Figured I might try to stretch out another 100gb, with a chance it might have been in the pipeline.
Perfectly understandable.
Are you Karen or Fran?
Oh btw, no BF offer for Shared Hosting?

He's Mike :P I'm not corporate enough to use the branded accounts.
Mike's working on that, we just wanted to get cranemail out the door. We've been at it for a good month now between hardware deployment and development.

As Fran said, I'll have some offers up tomorrow (I guess later today) for shared/resellers/crates.
Wanted to give CraneMail its own little moment because there was so much to talk about/show off.

Until when does this offer last @NameCrane - hopefully it is not active just today.
Stopped due to "Primary Domains" limit as I have many domains but with only email account otherwise good offer
I have been following the beta in Discord. Congrats!
