FastMail is absolutely flawless. Their feature improvements are always on point as well.

Their web interface is great too. Faster than Thunderbird in my experience (I tried the latest Thunderbird on Windows yesterday on a relatively fast PC and it kept pausing randomly all the time)

Fastamail previously I used Proton but I recommend staying away form them at all costs. 1. their android app will send previous drafts and disregard your later edits. 2. That is if the android app even works. as other people reports, sometimes the send button does not respond. it also regularly just spins when trying to open an email. 3. they are discarding their Google reviews for their app. they used to have 20% 1…

1. This usually occurs when your connection is unstable so the new edits are not properly saved. Regarding the extremely rare bug where emails would be sent incomplete, this was addressed in the most recent beta version. 2. Most of the issues in the Proton Mail Android app have been addressed in the most recent beta, which you can download on Google Play Store. This applies to the Send button being unresponsive (another extremely rare issue, easily solved by exiting the app and opening it again, or clearing the app cache). 3. This is a false statement. We in fact cannot remove Google Play Store reviews of our apps, only the Play Store can do that.

We constantly maintain and update our products - only in the last quarter we have launched about a 100 of the most requested updates and fixes to Proton Mail and Proton Calendar apps.

1. It is not rare, you perfectly know about it, and did not mitigate. That is in itself critical

2. That story has been told for 2 years now

3. Regardless, this happened

Everything points towards proton is spending increasing amounts on marketing without being able to serve even basic functionality such as providing a mail client for the phone market – something is off.

Migadu has been good to me at $19/year for a couple domains, a few mailboxes and some decent features like distribution lists. They don't hard enforce limits and I've never come up or been warned about it.

Agreed. Opened thread just to recommend then. Based in Switzerland and respects their laws.

Shortly after you posted this, it looks like their TLS certs expired. Checking my TLS-RPT bundles reveals 5 failures in the last couple days from Google.
