Question on: WPMU DEV
Will the full email service ever come to WPMUDEV?It would fix my most worrisome detail and complete my offerings.

I agree, the current email offering lets the side down.

That would be a great addition.

This would be a great service, especially if clients with their own domain names have email files in another location that could be transferred intact to WPMUDEV.

Hi there,
This is Cristian, from the WPMUDEV team.
Thank you so much to both of you for your feedback and comments. We really appreciate it.
WPMU DEV gives you free email hosting with every WordPress managed hosting plan and provides 4 different types of emails for your hosted sites at no additional cost:
Transactional Email – These are emails WordPress sends regarding the administration and maintenance of your WordPress site.
Email Accounts – Members whose sites we host can create up to 10 free email accounts for each site to send and receive domain emails using any email client or cloud-based email service.
Email Forwarding: Let you set up an address like you@yourdomain.com and have all emails sent to this address forwarded to your Gmail, Outlook, or other service’s (e.g. ISP) email address.
SMTP – Use any email service with valid SMTP credentials and our Branda plugin to send WordPress transactional emails from another email address that you own.

Question on: WPMU DEV
When will you customize the Defender Pro plug-in?We really need to be able to customize the message in Defender Pro - right now, your name is on the emails - even after customizing the message with our logo and name. You have hard coded your company name in the emails to users who are doing 2FA. When will you finish this upgrade? How can we grow without having our own customization and not your name in the email?

I have doubts about its use since my domain is parked in Cloudflare and from what little I understand, I cannot have two security solutions.
I warn that I am not an expert and I am probably wrong.

Hi there!
This is Cristian from the WPMUDEV team. I hope you are doing great!
If you are hosting that site elsewhere, you can connect it to our Hub and manage it regardless of where you are hosting it. If you wish to migrate that site to a staging environment with us, you can start a hosting plan. Make sure to check them at https://wpmudev.com/select-plan/hosting.
You can migrate your project with our tool or ask the team to do it for you ;)
Do not hesitate to contact us here at contact@wpmudev.com
Best Regards,
Cris
