Notification
You should have received this message around August 15, 2024 via email.
As of September 1st, 2024 3plains will no longer be supporting Rackspace email services. Email has become over complicated in the past few years due to the abundance of spam and other factors. We feel it is best for our clients to transition to a professional email provider, who can provide quality support services.
theXYZ will be the company that will handle your Rackspace email services after September 1st, 2024. We have worked with theXYZ for a number of years and they are very knowledgeable in all aspects of email services and supporting email clients.
What you need to know:
- Billing - As of September 1st, 2024 you will no longer be billed for email services by 3plains. You will receive a setup email from the theXYZ and will need to update a credit card with them to set up your new billing. Details will be emailed to you and look like the email screenshot below.
- Pricing - By default you will be set up with monthly billing. Mailboxes will be billed at $2.95 per month.
- Credits - If you are currently on annual billing with 3plains you will be issued a credit for months you have prepaid within 30 days.
Please feel free to reach out with questions or concerns.
Thank you,
The 3plains Team
