Rackspace Email review (2026): is it worth it?
Hosted business email managed through the Rackspace control panel
Black Friday: is there a Rackspace Email sale?
Keep Rackspace Email, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Rackspace Email you would be making an email client: sending, receiving, threading and searching years of mail. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
What you could not
- An email client: sending, receiving, threading and searching years of mail.
- Filters that read every message as it arrives.
What this rests on. Rackspace Email’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Rackspace Email?
Rackspace Email is hosted business email sold by Rackspace Technology, which also resells Microsoft 365. Administrators manage mailboxes, aliases, group lists, archiving and spam filtering in a control panel. Rackspace lists free migrations and around-the-clock support. Its own pages do not publish prices that could be read.
Good for
- Businesses that want hosted email with admin tools and migration help
- Companies already working with Rackspace on Microsoft 365
Worth knowing
- No price could be read: the old product page returns an error and the current Email page would not load, so check with Rackspace.
- Rackspace's site now leads with enterprise cloud and Microsoft 365, and presents Rackspace Email as one of several productivity options.
- Rackspace documents setup for Outlook, Apple Mail, iPhone and Android mail apps; it names no native app of its own.
Key features
