Traditional business email providers (like Google Workspace and Microsoft 365) force organizations into expensive per-user licensing tiers ($6 to $18 per employee every month). Companies end up paying for 30 GB of empty space for staff members who only exchange a few emails a week.
Nyota Mail decouples mailbox seats from storage capacity, introducing a Flat Seat Rate + Communal Pooled Storage model that cuts corporate email expenditure by up to 70%.
1. How It Works Under the Hood
Instead of creating rigid, isolated 1 GB islands for each employee, Nyota Mail operates on two flexible infrastructure primitives:
1. MAILBOX SEAT ENTITLEMENT (base_mailbox)
Each seat costs KSh 100/month.
Each seat automatically contributes 1 GB to your communal domain pool.

2. COMMUNAL DOMAIN STORAGE POOL
Example: 20 mailbox seats = 20 GB shared domain storage pool.
