ServerMX review
A low-cost hosted email service with broad protocol support and 5 GB mailboxes.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ServerMX provides hosted email for individuals and organizations using custom domains. Its service supports unlimited domains, standard POP3, IMAP4, and SMTP access, plus aliases, forwarding, catch-all addresses, plus addressing, and spam and antivirus filtering. Mailboxes include 5 GB of storage, while SOGo adds calendar and contact support through CalDAV and CardDAV. Web access is available, and compatible desktop and mobile applications can connect to the service. It fits domain owners who want conventional email hosting rather than a broader productivity suite.
Pricing starts at €1.50 per mailbox per month with the SMX Beta 5 plan, billed monthly. The SMX Beta 5 highlights include POP3, IMAP4, SMTP, aliases, forwarding, catch-all addresses, SOGo, CalDAV, and CardDAV. SMX Beta 20 and SMX Beta 50 list the same highlighted capabilities. ServerMX also offers a 30-day free trial. The service is paid rather than free, and its 5 GB mailbox storage makes it more suitable for ordinary business or personal correspondence than for large archives.
Its ecosystem is built around established mail and groupware clients. Integrations include Roundcube, Afterlogic, Mozilla Thunderbird, Microsoft Outlook, Apple Calendar, Apple Address Book, and Android calendar and contacts clients. A mailbox migration tool can help organizations move existing mail, while two-factor authentication, DKIM signing for outgoing messages, and PGP through Roundcube add account and message-security options. Users who want custom domains, standard protocols, aliases, calendars, contacts, and migration support should consider ServerMX. Those seeking larger included mailboxes or first-party mobile apps should look elsewhere.
