I've been using Fastmail since 2015, when they seamlessly absorbed Pobox, my provider since 1998. Their Mailstore hosted service provides up to 50 GB. I've never experienced noticeable downtime, their technical support is prompt and helpful, and basically, I've never encountered any significant problems whatsoever. I have my own domain name, and one of the advantages is that I can instantly generate any custom email address within that domain. I use this to assign every business or nonprofit entity with whom I correspond its own email address, which makes identifying where a spammer got my address a snap. (It's also useful with mailing lists.) I also make extensive use of their server-side filtering functionality, which pre-sorts my email into my various IMAP mailboxes. This is extremely useful when I have to access my email on the Web or on a computer I don't own--that is, when I don't have MailMate. Finally, I've found their user-configurable spam filtering to be more than adequate for my needs; no need for SpamSieve or another additional product. In case you're still wondering, I recommend them. :) _______________________________________________ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
