Most managed WordPress web hosts do not offer email service, but Pressable email bucks that trend with a professional email service from Titan.
Wait…who is Titan?
Technically not a truly native email service, Pressable email is offered through an independent company called Titan. Automattic, the company behind WordPress and Pressable is an investor in Titan, and I suspect one of the larger (maybe only) investors.
The nice thing about this “close relationship” is you can expect the two services to work seamlessly. The drawback is of course the risk of having your email service with a provider that isn’t named Microsoft or Google. While I’m not huge fan of either of these email heavyweights, there are safety and long term viability concerns with a smaller provider like Titan.
But I digress, branded email (using your domain) means you are free to choose your favorite and if they don’t meet your expectations, you can switch providers and your email address remains the same.
Pressable Email Features
- 10 GB of storage.
- 10 aliases.
- Unlimited filters.
- Branded email service using your domain name.
- Spam filtering, anti-virus scanning and encryption.
- Calendar and contacts.
- Mobile app, IMAP, and webmail access.

- A “rich” email composer aka the usual templates, and styling options.

Pressable Email Pricing
Pricing for Pressable email is $3.50 per user, per month. That’s half the price of comparable email service from Google and Microsoft. Every customer gets a 90 day free trial.
Pressable Email Limits
I couldn’t find public pricing on adding storage (or features) but I did find the daily rate limits:
- Outgoing Email Limit: 200 emails/user/hour, 500 emails/user/day
- Incoming Rate Limit: 500 emails/user/hour
Note: Pressable states their email service is not suited for bulk email sending. Instead use a transactional email provider like SendGrid or MailChimp.
