Fastmail – Email & Calendar

I'm almost mad that Fastmail is so good, like, why can't every email website be like this? it just does what it's supposed to do. period.

I've been a Gmail user FOREVER. However I ONLY use it to send mail from my own custom domains. That process has always been a bit janky at best but I had it working. Then I read that they are getting rid of the "send as" alias feature for free accounts. Even workspace accounts are somewhat more limited than I liked. Down the rabbit hole I went. Someone recommended Fastmail, so I started researching and experimenting along with several other solutions including just using the email service I could have with my web host since I already pay for that anyway. The more I dove into Fastmail the more impressed I was. I loved everything about it. It just feels smoother, better, more elegant, customizable, and well thought out in every way. I was going to wait and see if/when my Gmail aliases stopped working before jumping to another service, but after dipping my toe in, I just made the jump yesterday. Now all my domains are here and it feels like home. The whole process was easy. Importing all my mail, contacts, filtering rules, and domains. Syncing my contacts with my iPhone. GREAT documentation on everything including setting up the DNS records at Cloudflare. Hopefully I never need to switch again because Fastmail absolutely rocks. Just really, really impressed. I haven't even had to deal with support yet to find out how that is.
