Why are there no prices on this page?
Because we changed the licensing model and the old figures no longer describe what we sell. Publishing numbers we already know we will revise would waste your time. Ask us and you get a firm figure for your situation within a few business days; the public list follows once it is settled.
What counts as a user?
Someone who can sign in with their own mailbox. Aliases, distribution lists and shared mailboxes without their own login do not count, and there is no limit on them. Anything outside production — testing, evaluation, teaching, research — does not count either.
What happens if we go past five users?
The server tells you. You get an admin banner and a compliance report, and thirty days to sort out a licence. It does not stop delivering mail, it does not disable features, and it does not ask a server of ours for permission to keep running. Enforcement is a contract, never a switch we hold.
What does “fair source” mean, and is it open source?
No, and we will not call it that: open source has a definition and this licence does not meet it. The server source is published and auditable, free below the threshold, and each release converts to AGPL-3.0-or-later four years after it ships. You get the auditability and a contractual ceiling on our pricing power. What you do not get is the right to run it commercially for free.
Do you run a SaaS on oximail.ch?
No — channel-only. We do not operate hosted mailboxes ourselves. OxiMail reaches users through hosters, institutions and partners. For a managed OxiMail, a partner in your region operates it for you.
Can we start small and move up later?
Yes. Moving between editions is a licensing change — the binary and your data stay put. Start free or with Essential and grow into the rest; we arrange a pro-rated transition.
