I confirm, excellent email provider. I won’t comment on privacy since they are based in Australia which doesn’t have freedom of speech and has blanket surveillance laws. But at least it’s not Gmail, so it is safer to conduct business where Google could be competitor.

>Happens to me roughly every two days If I were their dev I'd suggest first, use another browser for your sanity and second, get in touch with the support team to see if you can help improve it!
That's precisely what I was about to suggest. Here's what one of our devs just said on seeing this comment: > "This is the first I’m hearing about this — would it be worth it to respond and ask the user to reach out to support?" So yeah - please do contact our support team (support@fastmail.com or you can use the web form at https://www.fastmail.com/support/ ) and give as many details as you can about what you're doi…

#83Fastmail is an excellent company with an amazing product. The web UI really is insanely fast. And with keyboard shortcuts you can be super productive. They’re also pushing new standards (JMAP) and seem committed to privacy and best practice etc. Really one of my favourite tech companies. Not an employee just a happy customer!
Can I have domain aliases with fastmail? I saw I can have email aliases but can I specifically have a second domain aliased to a primary domain? EDIT: They do. https://www.fastmail.com/help/receive/domains.html#mirrored

Yes, on a per-address basis. I have several email addresses aliased to my main account on a different domain.

(I bought two domains and did exactly what you're asking - after using the first for a day or so, having decided I liked the other one better I reached in and simply flipped the dropdown and chose the second one to by the default, clicked OK and it all just worked nicely)
When I look at my set message headers, it would appear that your primary @fastmail.com (or whichever of their domains you choose) is your actual primary, and that even your first domain is just an alias to the actual user account domain.

Is this what you have in mind? See the section on mirrored domains. https://www.fastmail.com/help/receive/domains.html#mirrored

Although Fastmail in general is offering an excellent service, their support can be too slow in an emergency. I had my Fastmail account incorrectly flagged by their scripts, account fully disabled, bouncing all my emails. It took 5 days for their support to investigate, admit their mistake, reinstate my account and issue an apology (in the form of 1year subscription). Still, 5 days of emails lost.
Were you on your own domain? In that situation I guess you could have changed DNS and piped it to Gmail temporarily.

The $3 plan doesn't include hosting your own domain, you'll want to go with the $5 plan so you can get you@yourdomain.com up and running. (edit: grammar)
Doesn’t that come off really pretentious when you give out your email? I don’t think I really want that feature.
