I love fastmail, I switched from Proton a couple years ago after deciding the trade offs to have encrypted email were not worth it, since even if I fully trust Proton, most emails come from or go to AWS, Outlook, or Gmail anyway. I have been extremely happy with the service. Fairly priced, very fast even with a huge inbox, and they don’t add unnecessary features or bloat. I thought I would use my OS’s mail apps but the fastmail app and website are so good I just use that.

#24Emails are very important especially at this age of rapidly changing technological landscape. It's important that they're secure. Is it possible to have E2E encryption on emails?

You literally have a proton email address on your profile.

#25The easiest and best filter is to screen emails. Only emails that were screened in once go to your inbox. It's that easy. HEY.com introduced it, and I can't see email without it; that's why I integrated it into my TUI email client, neomd [1]. Since then, when I get an email from Amazon that lands in my "To Screen" box, I am automatically alerted and know it is potentially spam, because I have approved Amazon and legit emails land in my inbox. Check it out, it's that easy. Neomd works with Fastmail or any other IMAP/SMTP email provider.
No AI needed, and also no stupid AI summary, as you only get a few legit emails to your inbox, never spam anymore.

#26What's the point of the article?
I've heard nothing but good things about Fastmail, but this article in particular is literally just pointless fluff.

#28I was hoping this would be about JMAP.
This was the post where I learned about SPF, DKIM, and DMARC which seems like a nice technical win. It isn't text encryption but it goes to show there is still room to improve on the basic email situation.

#29I find it hard to judge how much, if at all, this will help, but I'm all for email being more secure, to the point that organizations (banks, governments, insurance companies) stop creating walled-email alternatives: please log in to our secure message center, where you can only see our messages poorly formatted, and for a short time, until we permanently delete them . I like that my Inbox is a somewhat-searchable, h…
I love hearing that I received a "secure message", with no further detail. Straight to trash -- I don't read "secure messages". My inbox is probably more secure.
I get secure messages from public authorities and companies in Denmark, which go to my secure 'mailbox' for this purpose. Of course, contracted out to some private company, and they'll probably change the contract again in 5 years.
The messages are usually PDFs, which isn't great for accessibility, e.g. using a translation tool.
