I've been looking for a functionally equivalent alternative to gmail largely because I fear ending up in a similar situation. I'd like to host my email with a company that has remotely competent and caring support.
What are the best services?
And no thanks to cloud haters - I will not be setting up my own imap servers.
- tijs 14y agoI'm quite happy with Fastmail.fm, there are not that many options out there i'm afraid.
- aneth4 14y agoI used to use fastmail but switched to google as their interface fell behind the times and I wanted features they didn't have. Perhaps I should look again.
- fratis 14y agoWhen I was doing IT consulting before starting my company, we used to contract a great Florida-based company called AppRiver for hosted exchange (plus IMAP and POP, naturally) for some of our clients. The service was excellent, and their customer support was even better -- always extremely friendly and very responsive.
- DenisM 14y agoFastmail. Their support answered at night and fixed my problem in their code in a couple of hours.
- stevekemp 14y agoFastmail recently reworked their whole user-interface, hiding and removing many good options in the process. Their support queue is backed up days, to due to dissatisfied customers.
- dangrossman 14y agoRackspace Email (formerly MailTrust). The service itself is excellent (IMAP/POP/Exchange hosting, spam filtering as good as Google's, a 100% uptime SLA, daily backups), and it comes with Rackspace's well-known 24x7x365 phone, chat and ticket support. I've hosted my mail there for 7 domains for years.
