Is Mila for you?

Mila isn't trying to be the right choice for every kind of email. Here's an honest breakdown of who it fits well, and who's better served elsewhere.

Good fit

You own a domain and want real mailboxes on it -- you@yourdomain.com, not a subdomain of ours.
Your team communicates the way people normally do: back-and-forth conversations, attachments, calendars, the occasional mailing list.
You want IMAP/POP3/SMTP/JMAP access from whatever mail client you already use, not a proprietary web app you're locked into.
You care about DKIM/SPF/DMARC being configured correctly and want to verify that yourself instead of taking a vendor's word for it.
You want a control panel and an API for the same actions, so anything you can click you can also script.
You're comfortable choosing a plan by expected daily mail volume rather than by mailbox count.

You're sending bulk marketing or newsletter campaigns -- Mila's per-day limits are sized for human correspondence, not blast sends to large lists.
You need a transactional email API for application-generated mail at high volume (password resets, receipts, notifications at scale) -- that's a different workload with different guarantees than Mila is built to serve.
You want a fully managed, no-DNS-required inbox -- Mila expects you to control your domain's DNS records (or delegate that to us deliberately), not to abstract domain ownership away entirely.
You need enterprise groupware features like organization-wide shared calendars, real-time document collaboration, or video conferencing built in -- Mila is focused on mail, not a full office suite.
You're looking for the cheapest possible way to get an email address and don't care whose domain it's on -- a free webmail account will genuinely serve you better.
