> Are they regional outages? I would guess so? It was days. Many days of "No mail was lost but access is down" messages.

  Sounds like some super weird, extremely local issue. And yes, I’ve been using it as main mail account for (after checking) almost 9 years now, so that includes that period.

    > extremely local issue. I don't think so. They posted on twitter about it as a genera purpose outage. Anyway. I'm glad they exist and I'm glad you've found value in them. I just couldn't continue paying for an email provider I could never access.

      A one-year general purpose outage? Do you have a link?
      • alex_lav 4y ago
        Not an entire year. It was 2-3 day outages, weekly, for quite a while. I've been trying to find the tweets, but as Elon took away tweet searching it's been a challenge to go that far back edit I remember they were open about experiencing a denial of service attack over several weeks. edit again: https://www.fastmail.com/blog/fastmail-fights-off-ransom-cyberattack/ https://www.fastmail.com/blog/fastmail-fights-off-ransom-cyb... a reddit thread about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/fastmail/comments/qkk8qh/ddos_attacks_a_question/ https://www.reddit.com/r/fastmail/comments/qkk8qh/ddos_attac...
