When I switched from gmail to Fastmail I just slowly switched everything over. It took a few years before I was comfortable killing the gmail account. But I got there.
- Lucasoato 7y agoIs fastmail as reliable as Proton mail?
- peatmoss 7y agoI don’t know how reliable Proton Mail is, but Fastmail has been rock solid for me. That said, Russia banning Proton Mail is one hell of an endorsement for Proton Mail, in my estimation. I want to believe in the dream of ubiquitous end-to-end encrypted email. I don’t know if Proton is the right manifestation of that, but it certainly doesn’t hurt in terms of keeping the dream alive. So, I wouldn’t want to wave anyone off Proton, even though Fastmail is a great service. I think the major problem with any PGP Mail system is that nobody else uses it. I have a semi-technical friend who, for ideological reasons, decided to switch to Proton Mail. I dusted off a GPG-capable email client and provided him with my public key. After some technical headaches we exchanged a couple of emails and promptly went back to organizing the occasional happy hour or movie outing via Signal.
