I am using Fastmail since more than 18 years and I could always count on their service. It is very efficient and propose interesting features, that are evolving and provide more with the time. I definitively recommend Fastmail.

Been using fastmail for over 10 years.
Been using fastmail for over 10 years.
The improvements lately ahve been great. Masked emails, labels. I really appreciate the 4 options for swipe gestures on android, that's better than gmail so I prefer to go through and delete or categorize my inbox on the phone every morning.
Been using the calendar for planning kid's playdates, family appointments, etc etc for years now. I didn't want google knowing my whole darn life and it works really well to coordinate with my partner.
The notes section also works really well, I use it to copy really insightful posts when I'm reading stuff online.
I thought I was goign to run out of space but then realized the storage count for files is separate from email, so it's pretty easy to transfer files over instead of leaving them as attachments on email. I don't use the file storage for anything else though, it's not efficient or super useful as backup cloud storage or sharing other than email attachments. It's a way better price than drop box though so I would probably pay for more storage at that good price if the UI was improved. But maybe that is a stretch in the wrong direction because I love fastmail for everything else they do really well.

I LOVE FASTMAIL
I’m a discerning older lad (so I’m full of 'you-know-what')... and I’ve been using paid Gmail for more than a decade. I stuck with them as they changed the name from Google Apps through to their current rendition, called Workspace. I have seen Gmail transform into a beautiful service and I felt okay because I was paying for it, after all, so I could not be their product. You can be both their paying client and their data mined (minion) subject.
Well, I thought it would be just awful to get out from the warm and fuzziness that I had grown into... I was heavily invested in Gmail’s tagging and automation.
I am pleasantly surprised with Fastmail’s web user interface and the ease with which I can do what I did before, and it is even easier than Gmail once you stop thinking in Gmail terms. Not to mention the convenience with which I can now create aliases or masked email addresses (which are different things in Fastmail). Never again will I give any vendor my basic email address. Future vendors and associations, etc. — will get either an alias or a masked email address from me — depending on how fast I think I might have to trash their access to the sanctum of my personal mailbox, once they start abusing my privacy.
Imagine how easy it will be to tell who ‘sold on’ your email address when you give someone a masked email, and then someone else starts writing to you 'there'.

Fastmail = Luxury Email
I signed up for Fastmail this summer and have been amazed at the breadth of clever features and refinement built into the product. Embarrassingly I've amassed nearly half a million emails across various accounts over the years, importing it all to Fastmail was a snap, but even more impressive has been the speed and pleasantness of the interface. Pairing Fastmail with Sanebox's SaneLater service means I'm finally getting my unruly inbox tamed. Yippee!

A simpe and professional email service
This is a great email service that i keep using it since 2006, when i was sick and tired about so called „free” email providers, full of ads...
A very modern and simple interface that allows me to read my incoming messages without any disruptions in my own peace.
Even if may seem that this email service is just a simple email service, it is packed with many powerful features that can satisfy from simple users up to the most advanced organizations.
- It is the reason why i keep to use and i recommend this great and unique email service.

Fantastic email provider
My experience with Fastmail has been fantastic. I left GSuite Legacy when Google sunset the free program. Fastmail has met and exceeded everything I needed in a new provider, including security, privacy, a robust feature set, easy migration from GSuite. I love some of the value-add features, such as Masked Email, aliases, multiple domains, and choosing between folders/labels. Their support has been responsive and helpful, and so far reliability is perfect. If I had one slight negative: the webmail and mobile UI/UX seems outdated, and isn't quite up-to-par with some of the modern alternatives, but it works just fine and doesn't get in the way.
All in all I couldn't be happier, highly recommended!
