I have no complaints with Fastmail, great experience. Android mail clients however - I really wish K-9 Mail felt more modern, it's perfectly usable but the ancient UI makes it less nice to use.
> In exchange for free mails, would you let your postman open your letters, read them, and insert ads related to their contents? Note that this is not the case anymore: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/23/technology/gmail-ads.html We never did that for G Suite, but with this announcement we also stopped doing it for consumer. Disclaimer: Googler working on Gmail. Please stay :-)
maybe fix your garbage email client? http://github.com/dominictarr/your-web-app-is-bloated
Which other emailer has threads, snooze, and tabs? (need all of those really; hard to move without them) I do hate that I can't just pay for gmail and avoid the crappy ads...
> I do hate that I can't just pay for gmail and avoid the crappy ads You can. It's $5/month and it's called GSuite. It's their enteprise offering, but don't let that turn you off, it's exactly like Google but with your own domain -- no user minimums. https://gsuite.google.com/ If you want to transition you can redirect one email to the other (@gmail to @yourdomain, or @yourdomain to @gmail). GSuite mail doesn't get a…
Any recommendation on an iOS mail app. I use the Apple one, which is fine if uninteresting. The Fastmail app is not very modern looking which I superficially care about. Any reasonable looking non-Apple mail app reads my email or collects my data.

> threads Threads have been supported since, well, decades (message-id, In-Reply-To). Most modern mail clients support displaying messages in thread format. > snooze I originally missed snoozing, but now I just create a task any time I need to address something, or tag/flag it for follow-up. > tabs I'm not sure what this is. Can you explain? > I do hate that I can't just pay for gmail and avoid the crappy ads Just sh…
As another person mentioned, your email contents aren't used to target ads, and you can pay for gsuite.
Yea, companies have never lied to users before, right? You're still trusting a company that is notorious for snooping and tracking folks to make a quick buck.

Or using adblock
I think the author is concerned with a much deeper issue than a simple ad blocker.
But advertisements nuissance are not the reason. They are so easily dealt with by using adblock.nin some incarnation.

This article looks like an ad for fastmail.com
At least of the last time I looked around (within the past year), it's the only major cloud-based option that isn't ad-supported, but does offer all the extra goodies like calendars.
There are a couple of things I don’t like about Posteo (as a customer):
1. It recycles deleted addresses/aliases after six months and makes them avaiufor someone else to claim and use. Ideally, this should be never done to protect customers. Fastmail also recycles deleted addresses/emails within a few months (sooner than Posteo does, IIRC).
2. It provides only two aliases in the base pricing and additional aliases (if many are required) will increase the cost. Fastmail provides 600 aliases in every plan! So if you’re heavy on aliases, Fastmail would be cheaper.
Other providers similar to this that I haven’t subscribed to, but you can read up on or try, are mailfence (has a free plan as well), runbox and mailbox.org. All of them have been around for quite sometime and also provide IMAP access (which is important if you want to migrate email content from one provider to another).

Have you had success with 2 time zones for the same event? I know there's a setting to enable it, but I haven't had success.
My fastmail calendar experiences: - timezone support is great and an explicit feature. You can pick the time zone when adding events and there is a dropdown at the top to view the calendar in the respective selected timezone. - you can scroll the calendar view flexibly and not just switch from month to month. You can for example scroll to see half of previous and half of current month. This fills me with so much joy…
