I'm soft trialling Fastmail at the moment (forwarding all email from Gapps directly to Fastmail). I will probably change over my MX records soon to make it official.
One thing I don't like is that their Android client which supports push notifications (a feature I personally valued in Gmail) also has some weird UX.
For example, the message actions bar within the "view message" pane. At first, I wasn't aware it existed. I thought you had to archive/delete messages from the inbox by swiping it! I only discovered it by accident when my finger missed a link in an email. It seems like it appears when you tap somewhere in the message itself, and it appears over the top of the bar that holds the message title and the back arrow.
Very silly in that regard, but otherwise quite solid. Their servers, service, and desktop offering are great and I found their pricing quite reasonable.
- bad_user 10y agoTheir Android client isn't as great as the native Gmail app, however it's basically a wrapped web interface. And for a web interface, it's great, because it's usable and it means you can have it on any device you want just by going to "fastmail.com". And btw, on iOS/iPhone Fastmail does push notifications using the native email client: https://blog.fastmail.com/2015/07/17/push-email-now-available-in-ios-mail/ https://blog.fastmail.com/2015/07/17/push-email-now-availabl...
