What alternatives to GMail do you recommend?
- whiddershins 9y agoHonestly I think the answer to your question is: giant fail by the tech community, because to my knowledge there isn’t anything actually comparable, free or paid.
- DashRattlesnake 9y agoFastmail certainly is comparable.
- DashRattlesnake 9y agohttps://www.fastmail.com/ https://www.fastmail.com/ It costs $5/month if you want to use your own domain. I've pretty much stopped using Gmail, etc. and switched totally to them.
- jftuga 9y agoHow is their calendar?
- DashRattlesnake 9y agoI haven't used it as much, but it seems just as good for single-person use. It's WebDAV IIRC. I haven't tried to use any "shared calendar" features.
- whiddershins 9y agoDo you find their web interface as good as Gmail?
- DashRattlesnake 9y agoYes, I do. The only thing I miss is tagging/archiving. Fastmail uses a traditional folder paradigm, and archiving only moves the message to a special archive folder. Their login 2FA options are as good as Gmails, and I like their mail-rules better (though you have to drop into "power users" mode more than I'd like).
