- cypherpunks01 5y agoAgreed.. do you know where you will end up migrating to? I looked into FastMail a long time ago, at that time it was the best replacement for just the Gmail component with custom domain, not sure if it still is.
- bouke 5y agoI looked into FastMail as well about 1-2 years ago. I’d like IMAP PUSH support for iOS, to replace the polling needed for gmail. Good support for iOS search is also needed, I haven’t investigated how FastMail works in that regard yet.
- blibble 5y agoI moved from gsuite to fastmail about 6 months ago I'm pretty wary of any "automatic import from $previous_service" tools (having been bitten in the past) so I ran the fastmail importer against my user's accounts, then later reconciled this against the gmail/fastmail APIs with my own code ... it was completely byte-for-byte perfect (other than "muted" conversations, which weren't imported at all, that I dealt with separately) I was very impressed indeed
- area51org 5y agoThx for this. It's reassuring to hear.
- SwiftyBug 5y agoSame here. What side-effects such migration would have? Would I lose all the files in my Google Drive? Sure my email@customdomain.com email will still exist as a Google, YouTube account, right? It just won't use Gmail as my email provider?
