Second this. I switched recently and it’s been great. The tool to import all my email from gmail worked flawlessly.

  Thanks for letting me know, this is really one of my biggest concerns right now so it’s great hearing from someone who actually transferred their inbox in the same way I intend too :)

Fastmail. Can't fault them. I particularly like the custom sieve filters

  This is a feature I've recently discovered and never used. Could you provide an example of their use and why you like them so much? Is it just that you can manage your own spam rules? Or can you do some near tricks with them?

I also use Fastmail with custom domain and I alias every single new account I make to know who sells my data. Through last two years I think there's been only one major incident that made me unable to see my emails and it lasted like an hour or two. Otherwise it works properly, it's fast, Calendar integrates nicely with everything else I have(like Apple and Google calendars), search is insanely quick, it's easy to save/browse through files. It's also not that expensive for what you get.

  > I alias every single new account I make to know who sells my data. I wonder if that's ever happened yet. I do the same with Firefox Relay, it's only $1/month to keep using my existing email. I have probably hundreds of accounts that haven't had their emails updated yet.

    It did, I received unrelated spam onto aliases I used for major electronic chain(MediaExpert - polish MediaMarkt essentially) and two other minor services I don't remember anymore. It also happens that few of my aliases were leaked from data breaches so that also helps.

  I use custom email domain with apple and do the same catch all. Embarrassingly, I found one of my ex colleague’s company selling my data

I’ve been with Fastmail for about 20 years, they’re the absolute best. My one gripe is the spam filtering. Plenty of block rules but it can’t be trained terribly well. That or it’s long given up on a mailbox my size.

  Thanks for pointing that put, I will look into this a bit more
