@ndreas I really like their app. But can’t justify 99 + VAT for email. Specially since Fastmail has been serving me well for the past years for less than half.

@vincent @ndreas it is now that I had paid for another year, almost, well, by mistake lol. It is great is just expensive, unless, you really take advantage of their blogging feature then I guess is wroth it, having a blog and an email service. But most of us are already paying for a blog hosting service and have our own domains (which hey does not) that makes it less valuable at that price tag. If that mkaes any sense.

@ndreas As far as I'm concerned, it's one of the subscriptions that will go on for as long as they're around. Not expensive considering what they offer: stellar service, all the domains I need, aliases, masked email, freedom to use whatever email app you want on every platform, and no issues whatsoever. I left Google's email over a decade ago, and I've been happy ever since. Whenever I get a new domain, the first thing I'll do is add it to Fastmail.

If you're looking for a reliable email service, that's the one I'd pick. It works, I never have to worry about it. @rom

@ndreas Fastmail is very well worth it. The service is superb and the support is awesome! There is an official iOS app. but no Mac app (except for third-party, FMail).

@maique @ndreas exactly. Got @omg.lol account and boom! Added to Fastmail. Happy with the Sending Identities feature, which allows me to forward email and still send as that email address.

@ndreas @rom Second this, and adding that FastMail also supports native iOS push notifications. There’s also JMAP, which should replace IMAP across the board as it’s crazy fast. Syncing things is literally instantaneous, so great!

@pimoore @ndreas YES! As opposed to what non-standard ways GMail is doing it! :)
