## Pricing

Rackspace Email's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site.


## Key features

- **Spam and virus filtering:** Rackspace lists spam filtering in the panel and describes premium spam and virus protection as part of the service.
- **Archiving:** The control panel can archive all incoming and outgoing email for a domain.
- **Free migrations:** A self-service migration tool and assisted migrations from other providers are offered at no charge, according to Rackspace's documentation.

## 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.

## Keep it, 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.

- You could not: An email client: sending, receiving, threading and searching years of mail.
- You could not: Filters that read every message as it arrives.
