A commenter noted on a previous thread that Opera owns fastmail.fm - I had no idea. I've been very happy with fastmail since migrating away from GMail earlier this year — I bought 5 full years' worth of custom domain service just a week into my trial — but suffice it to say I will immediately cancel my account should Facebook acquire them.
I am not looking forward to (another) batch of research and email migration. Rackspace mail looks worth a try though.
- rpearl 14y agoSame position for me. Hopefully I'll find something as good--I just need a personal account and most of the other offerings are a lot more expensive and featureful than I really need. sigh
- whichdan 14y agoRackspace Mail is nice, but I found the interface and features a little lacking. FastMail is extremely useful when dealing with several email accounts filing into multiple folders with multiple personalities. The new beta interface has some sleek JS and threaded messages, which puts it on par with GMail. I also trust Opera enough not to meddle with FastMail, and there haven't been any problems with the merger. That said, I'm also not keen on Facebook owning them, but I will most likely stay unless Facebook starts trying to integrate with FastMail or something ridiculous like that. 90% of the people I email use GMail, so its not like I'll ever be completely free of Facebook or Google anyway. If you only have one email account and/or use a desktop client, the choice gets a lot easier.
