DigitalOcean/Cloudways looks better!
I've just checked Cloudways offerings, but it doesn't seem like you are able to run your own mail server there. They don't even offer some shared mail hosting at all. Instead, they are pointing you to Rackspace where each mailbox is $1/mo.
So my question is: How do you manage your mail accounts? Plain Gmail?
I switched to Zoho. It's free/cheap and you get a ton for the price.

So it's been a long time ha. I think the reason was when you add a domain for a corporate email, it's done through yandex.ru and you don't actually "check" the email through bitrix but it just links you to the yandex.ru page. I think. I'm using another domain I have to test it and see if what I remember is correct.
-
So this was another issue I remember having before. When you change the MX records for your domain, there is a verify button in the Bitrix interface. I can click the verify button 1000 times and it doesn't ever re-check, just says last checked 6 hours ago. So I may get too tired of trying and give up, but here is a message that kind of confirms what I was remembering:
IIRC you just get a message counter that shows how many unread emails you have. Then when you click the "message viewer" it opens the yandex webmail for you to check your mail. The whole point of me using the product was for email so that's why I stuck with Zoho.
-
Ok I got the domain joined and as I remembered this is what happened. I added a mail account and when I went to open the mail account it took me to this page at passport.yandex.com:
