Opera Software also owns Fastmail.fm and AdMarvel. It would be kind of sad to see Fastmail go to Facebook. Though I doubt there's much truth to this rumor.

Though I doubt there's much truth to this rumor.
- wib 14y agoNo way I'd renew my paid Fastmail.fm account if Facebook buys the company.
- Auguste 14y agoAgreed. If Facebook acquires Opera, I'm out of there. I'm quite fond of Fastmail, so I'm really hoping this is just a rumour.
- minikites 14y agoI agree. If this is true, hopefully they leave Fastmail alone.
- WiseWeasel 14y agoOuch, had no idea Opera owned Fastmail. Here are a few more paid accounts which would not be renewed.
- bsg75 14y agoIs Fastmail a reliable provider? Ties to Opera might give it a measure of "perceived quality". I don't mind paying a few $ for a decent service, not tied to Yahoo, Google, or Microsoft.
- WiseWeasel 14y agoI've been using them for 10+ years, with no complaints. Their webmail is good, never any problems with their IMAP, a bunch of domains to choose from for their free accounts, and relatively cheap paid plans with decent quotas. Plus, they don't read my mail to sell me ads like Gmail does.
- bsg75 14y ago> Plus, they don't read my mail to sell me ads like Gmail does. The primary reason I am interested in them.
- wib 14y agoSame experience here, although I'm a newer user who just switched from Gmail a few months ago. Spent a couple of weeks researching alternatives before settling on Fastmail and would not be happy to repeat the process.
- sparkie 14y agoDelete your mailboxes soon, because they will be "unforgettable" once facebook has them.
