OP here. Fastmail had 4 out of my required 5 features. I used it for a while. I'm still a paying customer (I paid for a bunch of years). Tags were a deal breaker. It's just not sufficient for how I want to organize things.
- brongondwana 13y agoI'm going to raise this in our next meeting (Tuesday) and see if there's a way we can have IMAP flags exposed somehow. Along with fast cross-folder searching on flags, we could quite easily implement virtual folders per flag - which I think fills your use-case perfectly. The difficult parts are: 1) UI 2) limits. We have a hard limit of 128 "user flags" because it's in 4 x 32 bit fields in a fixed-width data format. Subtract a few for our internal tooling, and you probably only have 120 you can use for yourself. Would 120 be enough? One thing that many older clients did was had $Label1 => $Label5. That was often enough for people... so I suspect 120 is probably fine.
- dbpatterson 13y agoI think if you'd had that before, I never would have left (and I think many other people would be happy with that).
