I'm a paying user of FastMail and love it for the same reasons you think they're not not worth paying for :-)
Simple, minimal, FAST interface. I want it to just show my email and get out of the way. It is great at it. No fancy animations, no heavy UI actions, very FAST to use. I can happily use it even over a cellular connection without bloat.
Encryption like Protonmail - I wish Protonmail was the E2E encryption tool with convenience, but to me, it is NOT!
- I need to trust their promise not to deliver malicious web encryption code. What good is encryption if I need to trust them blindly?
- As a collateral for this not so great encryption, they can't index my emails - meaning I can't search my emails based on keywords. This regression makes it useless to me.
I pay for FastMail to host my personal email, and if they ever sell my data without my consent, I will look into legal action against them. It'd be a joke to think such a logic with Google.
- mercer 9y agoOn the last point, how much does it matter if so much of your email will still end up at google (either because of gmail accounts or google apps accounts where you don't even know right away that it's Google)?
