dch :flantifa: :flan_hacker:If you're a <a href="https://bsd.network/tags/fastmail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fastmail</a> customer please consider asking them if they have a non-US based hosting option. Ideally, indicate that you are considering alternatives that are, as am I.

HollieSo <a href="https://social.coop/tags/FastMail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FastMail</a> is great overall, but I'm having pretty serious problems with it sending too much to spam. Receipts, email validations, shipping notifications, it's gotten much worse. Years ago, I rarely had to check spam, maybe once or twice a month and I'd catch a couple things. Now I have to check ALL the time. And when I tell it something doesn't belong, it doesn't learn. A day or two later I find that same sender back in spam again. I'm getting tired.

Yehor 🇺🇦I’m poking around in <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/infomaniak" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#infomaniak</a> email service and it is fantastic! I could have a separate user for my <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/selfhosted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#selfhosted</a> services who don’t have access to my personal emails. Nice web interface and very nice mobile app. I think I want to migrate from <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Fastmail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fastmail</a> to have my emails in Europe. Also this is a good opportunity to also move my main email address into my personal domain, so I don’t bound to a specific email provider. <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homelab</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/email" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#email</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Europe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Europe</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/eualternatives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eualternatives</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/emailproviders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#emailproviders</a>

Michael HarleyWhat value do you guys see in regard to using an email client like <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Thunderbird" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Thunderbird</a> vs using a webmail client like <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Fastmail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fastmail</a> via a browser tab?My requirements are super basic. I mostly receive email and occasionally send some. I don't have any sort of complex organization structure. I don't send or receive encrypted email.Is there some feature that I'm thinking about?

Chris‌‬ Hayes‌After using Proton for 8 months, I made the move from <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Proton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Proton</a> 🠆 <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Fastmail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fastmail</a>.My thoughts:👍 I love that Proton apps are open-source, this is a big win for me.👎 Server-side Encryption - In theory this is a good idea, in practice this is a huge pain. On mobile, you're forced to use the Proton app, which is unbelievably slow. On desktop, you cannot verify senders with DKIM. 👎 Proton leadership supports what Trump is doing to the US, while not my reason for leaving, it gave me doubts about Proton.

Matěj Cepl 🇪🇺 🇨🇿 🇺🇦<a href="https://chaos.social/@minzmade" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@minzmade</a> Not sure about Green energy, but I have migrated from self-hosting to <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/Fastmail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fastmail</a>, and I am quite happy. Yes, it is not cheap.

Dave🌱<a href="https://toot.wales/@ndw" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@ndw</a> I've been a happy customer of <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/Fastmail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fastmail</a> (they're on Mastodon, too: <a href="https://mastodon.social/@fastmail" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@fastmail</a>) since January 2018, and can comfortably recommend them if you're looking for a solid email host. They're based in <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Australia</a>, and have full support for <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/IMAP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IMAP</a>, <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/CalDAV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CalDAV</a>, <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/CardDAV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CardDAV</a>, as-well as <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/JMAP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JMAP</a> if your tool(s) supports that. I like that they only do email and do it well. No ever-expanding product suite of tools I don't really need, nor any confusion on who the customer is. Nice and straight-forward :).

Matěj Cepl 🇪🇺 🇨🇿 🇺🇦<a href="https://snac.el-hoyo.net/social/uhuru" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@uhuru</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/@Anarcat" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Anarcat</a> No, I am not saying that. There are fundamental differences:* <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/Fastmail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fastmail</a> is not a monopoly trying to break all standards, but works just on the open protocols (remember, <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/OpenProtocols" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenProtocols</a> are more important than <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenSource</a>)* you are a customer of Fastmail not a product being sold to the advertisers, the real customers of Google.* if anything wrong happens with Fastmail, you can just take your emails and go elsewhere; not so easy with Google

Matěj Cepl 🇪🇺 🇨🇿 🇺🇦<a href="https://kolektiva.social/@Anarcat" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Anarcat</a> Yes to the goal, to be <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/GoogleFree" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoogleFree</a>, but I have high doubts about your means. Instead of hosting the Internet under your bed, we, geeks, should promote more solutions for normal people, like <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/CustomerNotProduct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CustomerNotProduct</a> and purchasing Internet services for money. Things like hosting your email at <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/FastMail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FastMail</a>, <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/Proton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Proton</a>, etc. That is much more realistic than this <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/CyberAnarchism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CyberAnarchism</a>.

Gilles DePemig<a href="https://fosstodon.org/@rwaffen" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@rwaffen</a> I would argue against replacing all by one suite. It may be a convenient, but you make yourself dependent again. I use <a href="https://social.coop/tags/proton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#proton</a> for <a href="https://social.coop/tags/VPN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VPN</a> and drive. <a href="https://social.coop/tags/Fastmail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fastmail</a> for mail and calendar. For Office stuff, <a href="https://social.coop/tags/LibreOffice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LibreOffice</a> is perfect for me. Passwords in <a href="https://social.coop/tags/Bitwarden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bitwarden</a>. I don't lack any convenience working with these diverse tools.

Brad RomanceOk been moving slowly with this but I have a week off work so I have some time to mess with stuff.<a href="https://toot.chez.gay/tags/Nextcloud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nextcloud</a> is working fine, I’ve disabled <a href="https://toot.chez.gay/tags/iCloud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#iCloud</a> contacts and hidden most calendars on my devices (can’t disable it completely yet, due to shared calendars) and I’m only using the Nextcloud versions now.Currently setting up Nextcloud’s Mail app so I can access my <a href="https://toot.chez.gay/tags/Fastmail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fastmail</a> email from there. Fastmail has a decent web UI, but my contacts are in Nextcloud and there’s no live sync for contacts with Fastcloud.<a href="https://toot.chez.gay/tags/Disapplepointed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Disapplepointed</a> <a href="https://toot.chez.gay/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Apple</a>

HACK13New post where I list out some of the things I am considering as I am trying to find a replacement for my <a href="https://cyberfurz.social/tags/email" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#email</a> provider. As I am considering leaving <a href="https://cyberfurz.social/tags/fastmail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fastmail</a> for a different options that are out there. I am curious if others have thoughts and would be interested in reading my thoughts and reply to my post here on the <a href="https://cyberfurz.social/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fediverse</a> with some thoughts.<a href="https://hack13.blog/2025/03/finding-my-new-email-solution/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://hack13.blog/2025/03/finding-my-new-email-solution/</a><a href="https://cyberfurz.social/tags/sysadmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sysadmin</a> <a href="https://cyberfurz.social/tags/emailhosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#emailhosting</a>

Tommaso GagliardoniI am looking for a reliable mail hosting provider, with 2FA, unlimited aliases (including catch-all * ), POP+SMTP+IMAP, no mobile app required, with configurable domain but not bundled to the provider being the registrar. Possibly based in EU/Switzerland.Discarded options: - I am moving away from Gandi. - Infomaniak seems to require registering domain with them. - Zoho based in UK. - MXroute does not seem to offer 2FA. - Autistici/Inventati only with one of their domains (not configurable). - Fastmail based in Australia. - Mailcheap based in USA.Thankful for any suggestions 😀 <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/email" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#email</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/hosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hosting</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/gandi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gandi</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/eu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eu</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/2fa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#2fa</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/zoho" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zoho</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/infomaniak" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#infomaniak</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/mailcheap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mailcheap</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/mxroute" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mxroute</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/fastmail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fastmail</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/AutisticiInventati" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AutisticiInventati</a>

obrhoffI moved to the FastMail mobile app instead of the Apple Mail client. Turns out IMAP Idle (Mail push) was a big battery killer. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fastmail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fastmail</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/applemail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#applemail</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/imap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#imap</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/iphone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#iphone</a>

Christian TietzeNobody enjoys an increase in prices.But <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Fastmail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fastmail</a> did a very nice thing: because the renewal is "so soon" just after their pricing plans adjustments, they'll effectively apply a discount.Thank you!

Michael HorowitzAs a rule, I think <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/email" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#email</a> is worth paying for, mostly for the tech support. With Fastmail, you also get a great, easy-to-use recovery facility for deleted emails. <a href="https://www.fastmail.help/hc/en-us/articles/1500000280381-How-to-restore-deleted-data" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.fastmail.help/hc/en-us/articles/1500000280381-How-to-restore-deleted-data</a>I clicked the wrong button today. Meant to indicate that a SPAM email was not spam, but deleted it instead. Recovery was easy. <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/fastmail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fastmail</a>

Christian TietzeI wonder why permanently deleting a couple of spam messages takes so long in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FastMail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FastMail</a>

Your Autistic Life FR/EN/ESOk, so the de-Googleification project is moving forward. I moved my main email handling from <a href="https://mast.yourautisticlife.com/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Google</a> to <a href="https://mast.yourautisticlife.com/tags/Fastmail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fastmail</a>. My calendar is now handled on my <a href="https://mast.yourautisticlife.com/tags/Nextcloud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nextcloud</a> instance.I've tossed the Google Calendar app overboard on my phone. (I've disabled it. It cannot be deleted... yet...)On my phone, I now use Fossily Calendar and jtx Board together with DAVx5 and ICSx5.I'm still figuring how I'm going to handle my contacts.<a href="https://mast.yourautisticlife.com/tags/DeGoogleification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DeGoogleification</a>
