I made the move some time ago. There are some unpolished parts here and there, but I'm glad I made the move.

Somewhat unrelated criticism of Gmail - during the migration, I found out that there is no way to search for starred archived emails in Gmail. They don't show up in Starred, nor in any search with is:starred. Their star status also doesn't carry over when migrating.

Is fastmail blocking self-hosted SMTP servers without DNS like gmail.com? (email addresses with IP literals are stronger than SPF).

Is fastmail gated with 'whatwg cartel' web engines like gmail.com?

I got the same capabilities from mxroute.com, another worthwhile alternative - hosted in the USA. Plus they offer a no subscription, 10GB one time fee (I think $150 at the time I got it) account...unlimited domains/subdomains, etc -everything managed thru directadmin. Replaced my Google Workspace email w/this and never looked back. I still use Google for authentication and Google Drive.

I did this for my business' email about a year ago. A few weeks ago, I moved everything. Fastmail is awesome, but perhaps more important is how bad Gmail's web interface is. Fastmail is way more responsive and fluid and feels almost native.

One underrated thing is how easy it is to get credentials for sending emails. If you self host a lot of stuff it's quick to get going.

Fastmail is fantastic, I've been a very happy customer for at least a couple years now.

Masked emails have been so nice for throwaway/sketchy sites. It's done everything I could ask, would highly recommend for anyone looking to make the switch from elsewhere.

I have used Fastmail for 5+ years, no real complaints other then some real emails get caught up in spam folder.

But can I still give all my emails to OpenAI??

(semi-serious question because I’m currently very opposed, but I’m afraid of my future decisions)

Anyone here know why the animations in the Fastmail iOS app don't run in 60FPS?

I moved to Fastmail from gmail a few years ago. I'm thrilled to not have Google searching my primary email address any longer. I still use gmail for SSO for a lot of things from my 'gmail.com' account.
