Switched to Fastmail many years ago when self hosting became too time consuming for me. Never looked back. I had to use their support only very occasionally and even then their reaction time and competence were outstanding.
They do just one thing - email - and do that very, very well.
- darekkay 8y agoThey do another thing: calendar. And I find it at least as good as Sunrise Calendar was before Microsoft shut it down.
- glogla 8y agoHow do you use their calendar? Do they have a special app or are you talking about the calendar integrated in mail app?
- darekkay 8y agoYes, I use their calendar web app on Desktop (the one next to Mail). For mobile, I sync individual calendars into my Android Calendar ("CalDAV-Sync"). My biggest issue with the Google Calendar was the syncing rate of 24 hours for iCal feeds. On Fastmail, new events appear quite fast (and I can force the update manually, if I need to).
- reacharavindh 8y agoI wanted to create a group calendar between myself and my wife. We both use FastMail. Gave up after fighting for a day with weird errors. FastMail sent me an email that said our calendars are not in sync anymore.. way too often.
- bklaasen 8y agoThis seems like a really common use case that ought to work well. I switched to Fastmail a few months ago (I still haven't fully committed to sticking with it.) Did you contact support? Did you solve the problem by switching to another calendar provider?
- thirdsun 8y agoI use their calendar with various apps like Fantastical or Timepage. It's standard CalDAV and should work with any decent calendar app, including defaults like Apple calendar.app.
- brongondwana 8y agoThere's a bunch of us at CalConnect in Karlsruhe right now working on improving calendar standards :)
