Fastmail does not give you a free trial! Fastmail advertises 'Try Us For Free!' promising a 30-day free trial. They take your credit card and information to set up an account. Only then do they tell you there's no free trial, but don't worry--they'll add on a free month in your first year. When I saw what it would cost to add my wife as a second user, I decided it was not for me and closed my account. Did I get a free trial? No. Did I get my money back? No. In the jargon of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, this is a 'deceptive practice.' Ordinary people might use a different term.

I'm really enjoying Fastmail Setting up a family domain with four users was pretty straight-forward as was importing email from my previous server. The apps work well and features such as snoozing messages, masking (temporary addresses), aliases, etc are really useful. You get lots of storage for the price. If I had any criticism it would be that the UI needs optimisation in places but these are minor niggles, it's still five stars.

I've been using fastmail for years I've been using fastmail for years. During the time of opera ownership the new interface was dropped on customers without consultation. In my view it's a dog. Like many, I continued using the friendly old interface, even though it was a bit of a workaround to access it. Now that's being scrapped, allegedly June 30th 2017. In fact its mostly unavailable more than a month prior. Move over Fastmail,

The spam filtering is very poor. The spam filtering is very poor, and they make the most absurd suggestions to try and improve it. They want me to create a folder to mark emails as 'non-spam'. What? If I don't move an email from the inbox to the spam folder, shouldn't that be indication enough that it is NOT spam? Speaking of which, I also receive Fastmail newsletters even though I'm opted out. This makes it spam, doesn't it? I will be moving to another provider.

I've used Fastmail for over 3 years I've used Fastmail for over 3 years. It's a fairly good service provider, simple to use and with good options. I only use it as a personal service as for business I'd look elsewhere. Having US servers is a definite no no for a start and being based in Australia, a country known for its terrible privacy laws, is a no go either. Not much they can do about it even if they tried, unless they move out of Australia and base their servers in a better privacy trustworthy country.
