Hi Walter Yes, you have to repeat the transfer process for each email address. Each one will get sent a seperate code to verify it, then complete the Transfer. So for each different email address, you have to complete it. This is where it can add up - as for each person it will mostly likely be per mailbox/per month. So can add up. At this stage TMC still don’t have pricing on what this will cost. Reading forums and things, it’s likely to be $3-$5 per month per email address. There was also rumours they may do a “free tier” but that it will come ads in your email. This is all rumours and speculation, so all this could change. At the moment they (TMC) say they’ll advice pricing a few months before it’s renewed (Sept 2024 which is when iinet etc have paid it up to).
I have more info about it on my previous newspage here - https://macwizardry.com.au/news-2023-09.html And also on my last newsletter here - https://mailchi.mp/2aa3a487e7ed/macwizardry-news-apr2023-6095435 These transfers have to be put in place before some time this month I think it is. (or it may have been increased to Nov - but I’d probably get the transfer in place as soon as possible so to not risk losing the email addresses. Hope that helps.
