I’m seriously starting to consider moving from proton to Fastmail. My renewal is coming up in May.
Consider mailbox.org too.
Cool, I’ll check them out.
Agreed. Fair price, good service.
I switched after the whole CEO issue, but tbh I was annoyed at how limited proton mail was because of encryption. Super happy with Fastmail in comparison! Got 2 domains linked, multiple servers using it for SMTP, a bunch of aliases and masked emails. Calendar and contacts setup on android with DAVx5 to de-google some more. So good.
I tried Proton years ago and didn’t find it that useful (I can manage my own PGP keys, thank you).
Started switching to Fastmail seriously this month, after having had mail delivery problems with mailbox.org because of DNSSEC issues (they use a deprecated SHA1 signature still) - I have used migadu.com for a different domain for a few years as well but the webmail is a bit sluggish and the spam filter too aggressive, I might end up consolidating on Fastmail for now
Sure it’s Five Eyes so a slight regression from mailbox and migadu, but if it works well enough I might be able to get my family to move off of Gmail so a net win
This is my exact setup, too. It works without any problem using either thunderbird or their web UI.
That’s really good to know! This may seem like a dumb question, but can you use any email app with fastmail? I see they have their own, but I’d really like to use Canary with it if I switch.
There's also Migadu which I currently use. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles that providers like Proton and Tuta have with their E2EE but they don't use any shady marketing or track you. Requires a custom domain though.
I never heard of them, I’ll check them out. Thanks!
I switched after the CEO came out supporting Trumps nomination and the republicans being the party of the small guy
Is Fastmail US based?
Australia
Ah, so 5 eyes. Tuta is German so 14 eyes. Not a lot of options out there
