I've been using fastmail on and off throughout last would say 3 years and yep the great thing is functionality, security, and lastly the possibility if not in use for awhile to re-create one's account with the older credentials.
Way to go guys carry on creating a first class service!

Used Fastmail for many years - Excellent!
I've used Fastmail for many years. Secure and safe. I have a Fastmail account and a Yahoo account. I use Fastmail for private and Yahoo when you have to sign up for shopping and junk. Can't fault Fastmail. Does what I want. It may not be as fancy as others but I don't need that. I need reliability and to feel secure. You get nothing for free. My personal data important. No hesitation in recommending Fastmail. Great android app as well.

I agree with the other five-star reviewers
I agree with the other five-star reviews. We have used Fastmail for nine years. What price do you put on privacy? The Fastmail company doesn't profile you and sell you to advertisers. Plus, the service is rock-solid and dependable.
I like the Fastmail smartphone app. Easy to access, compose and reply to emails on the go. When I've referred others to Fastmail, they find it a breath of fresh air.
I take advantage of Fastmail's aliases, folders and rules for organizing and sorting incoming and outgoing email. I use different email addresses for different web services. If I want to pull the plug on a service, I can delete the alias, too, and never be bothered by marketing emails.

I'm so pleased I made the move!
I have been using email and Web domains for over 20 years, I aways enjoyed things for free, we all do, but my free Gmail account I have had since 2005, though it thought it was free, it comes with a much bigger price tag than you think, and I don't want to be a product sold by Google! I rely on email for my own business, and it's so important so why would I not pay for it? There are moaners on here who expect Fastmail for free, well they can't have things for free, that's just not realistic. This is why is works well for me:
1. Good and fairly fast personal support.
2. A decent price for the storage, as I was over 15 GB and gmail wanted money off me!
3. I find it very easy to use and set up and has all the features I want.
4. I have about 10 or 15 domains, I was paying hosting on a couple, and as they were simple websites, Fastmail hosts for free. It's now paid for itself on that saving alone.
5. My hosting and divert to Gmail and then Fastmail was sometimes slow with the host. This was always an issue I could get to the bottom with with 3IX, and paying $12 a year they didn't want to help. Now I changed my nameservers to Fastmail, my email from my dotcoms are super fast!
6. I can send and receive emails from all my domains, something Gmail stopped, and can do it with ease.
I'm very pleased, I would rather a company in Australia than the US as well, also no VAT for those in Europe. I hate what's app, FB and Google as they have zero respect for privacy and for $50 a year, it's a small price to pay when email is important to me. I spent quite some time looking into this, and can recommend this service for most people.

All rounders for email services!
I have been with FastMail for a little bit of time now, my experience has been fantastic. A brilliantly designed service with brilliant features and uptime. The pricing also represents great value for money.
Whilst I've been using FastMail - any problems or queries that I have had were dealt promptly, professionally and with knowledge by the FastMail team. This is something which I think is really important, and they've mastered it.
As with many others, email is absolutely essential for my day-to-day life, so FastMail had to get it right. They have done exactly that.
I was recommended FastMail by a fellow IT professional, and they definitely suggested well. I would not hesitate to recommend FastMail to friends, family or a colleague. In fact, I probably will!
