Why We Built Nubo.Email — And Why Your Organization Is Overpaying for Email

Every growing organization hits the same wall: email costs that scale linearly with headcount.

Google Workspace charges $7.20 per user per month. Microsoft 365 starts at $6. For a 50-person team, that is $360-$432 per month — just for email. Scale to 200 people, and you are looking at $1,440+ monthly.

The math does not make sense. Most of those users barely use 2GB of storage. But you are paying the same rate for the CEO who sends 500 emails a day and the intern who checks email twice a week.

The Problem With Per-User Pricing

Per-user pricing was designed for a world where storage was expensive and compute was scarce. That world no longer exists.

Today, the real cost driver is storage — not the number of mailboxes. Yet every major email provider still charges per seat, creating a perverse incentive: organizations hesitate to create email accounts for new team members because each one adds to the monthly bill.

Our Approach: Pay for Storage, Not Seats

Nubo.Email flips the model. Organizations purchase storage — 5GB, 10GB, 50GB, 100GB, up to 1TB — and create as many mailboxes as they need within that pool.

A 100-person organization that needs 50GB of total storage pays for 50GB. Not for 100 seats.

Storage is allocated per mailbox from a shared pool. Need more storage? Buy another slab. Need more users? Just create them — no additional cost.

More Than Just Email

Nubo.Email is not just a mailbox. It is a complete communication suite:

• Email — Built on JMAP, the modern protocol designed to replace IMAP. Real-time push notifications, instant sync, threaded conversations.
• Calendar — Shared calendars with scheduling, invitations, and RSVP. CalDAV sync across all devices.
• Chat — Nubo Chat for team messaging. No need for a separate Slack or Teams subscription.
• Video Conferencing — Nubo Meet for crystal-clear video calls. Built right into your email client.
• Drive — Nubo Drive for file storage and sharing. Collaborate on documents without leaving the platform.
• Contacts — Shared address books with CardDAV sync.

Why JMAP Matters

IMAP was designed in 1986. It is chatty, slow, and was never built for mobile or real-time use. JMAP (JSON Mail Access Protocol) is the modern replacement, standardized by the IETF.

With JMAP, Nubo.Email delivers:

• Real-time push notifications without polling
• Instant email sync across all devices
• Native threading support
• Dramatically lower bandwidth usage
• Better battery life on mobile

Data Sovereignty

Your email is your most sensitive business data. Nubo.Email operates data centers in India and Germany, giving organizations the choice of where their data lives. No data is stored in third-party clouds you do not control.

Migration Made Simple

Switching email providers sounds terrifying. We built migration tools that handle the heavy lifting:

• One-click migration from Google Workspace
• Microsoft 365 migration with full history
• Zoho Workplace migration support
• Custom IMAP migration for any provider

Emails, contacts, calendars, and files — everything moves over.
