Since I moved from Dreamhost to Easyspace, pretty much no more than a day or two has gone by that something hasn't gone wrong.
They have excellent uptime. I have yet to have a problem of the sort that constantly plagued me with DH.
But their webmail is, in a word, atrocious, and it's eating my correspondence.
It randomly moves messages (incoming or read) to the spam folder. It does *not* move actual spam there, and it has no "learning" process, no filters (other than address-based, which is of course useless since spammers--who frequently use exactly the same subject line over and over, rarely use the same address twice), no way to tell it what is spam (or, more importantly, what isn't).
And you can't move mail from one folder to another (well, you can move mail to trah or spam, but that's ALL). If it sticks mail in spam, there's no way to move it back to the in box. I thought you could move it to a separate folder that you create (from which you would never be able to download it, of course, but at least you could still read it). But no. I just tried that, and the messages disappeared. They disappeared from the spam folder, but they didn't show up in the new folder. Just gone. Not in the trash, nowhere.
I'm close to giving up on having a domain-based email altogether and just using Gmail, with all its flaws.
If you need email, do not go to Easyspace.
