Why choose MailCore Pro?
Well, we’re great value and provide more storage as standard, along with Industrial Grade Anti-Virus and Anti-Spam filtering as standard, but what really sets us apart?
Email communication is vital to any business, and a potential source of stress for home users as well. Generally email just works – but what happens when it doesn’t – and you need some help?
- Do you end up queuing for ages, in some unfathomable call system?
- Do you get to talk to a human that can provide real world help, rather an an anonymous call center?
- Do you get an answer that solved your problem?
- Do you know where your data is being stored? With us it’s the UK.
- Is your current email provider just too big to care?
Here at The Very Good Email Company we’re a small team that specialises in email, and nothing else. We can discuss any issues at a level you are comfortable with, and provide the necessary advice – rather than using a call centre ‘crib sheet’ that tries to pigeon hole queries with standard, cookie cutter replies.
Call our support number during working hours and you’ll get straight through to a helpful, knowledgeable, human being that can help and advise.

In a nutshell…
Unbeatable Value – At just £1.99/month, you get 50GB of email storage plus 25GB file storage for professional email without paying for features you don’t use.
That’s:
- 66% cheaper than Gmail Business Starter (which only gives you 30GB)
- 57% cheaper than Office 365 Business Basic
- Even £1.88 cheaper per month than Ionos!
Real UK Support – Speak to actual humans based in the UK who understand British businesses. No automated systems, no overseas call centres, no frustration. When you call, you’ll speak to someone in the UK who genuinely cares about solving your problem.
Purpose-Built for Email – MailCore Pro does one thing brilliantly: email. You’re not forced to pay for:
- Video meeting platforms you might never use
- AI assistants that increase your costs (Google now forces Gemini on all plans)
- Office productivity suites if you already have them
- Collaboration tools your team doesn’t need
Premium Security Included – Top-tier spam and virus filtering comes as standard, not as an expensive add-on. Your emails are protected from day one.
Quick & Simple Setup – Get your team up and running fast without complicated configurations or IT jargon. No need to learn a new ecosystem – just professional email that works.
Works Your Way – Use Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird, or any email app you prefer. MailCore Pro doesn’t lock you into proprietary software like Gmail or force you to use web-only apps.
Transparent Pricing – What you see is what you pay: £1.99/month. No hidden costs, no “introductory rates” that triple after year one. While Google and Microsoft keep raising prices and adding mandatory features, we keep it simple and affordable.
More Storage Where It Matters – Unlike Gmail Business Starter (30GB total), you get 50GB dedicated email storage PLUS 25GB for files. That’s 75GB total vs Gmail’s 30GB – at a fraction of the price.
