Ken,
My Fastmail experience has been superb for probably close to 10 years.
When I migrated old email in (like Robert Cutler, for the sake of
stopping running my own mail server in the basement), it was just a
matter — in Mailmate — of dragging the folders from the old server
over to the Fastmail server.
After that, everything was available through the Fastmail server (via
webmail or my iPhone).
Best of luck!

Thank you all once again for the continuing stream of helpful info. I
carefully researched each of the email service providers you
suggested, and the one that comes closest to fitting my needs,
capabilities, and budget is a paid account from Fastmail, which,
perhaps not coincidentally, was recommended by far more list members
than any other service. Along with so many other positives, I
especially liked it that they provide explicit instructions for
setting up a MailMate app to work with their server.
A few final (I hope) questions.
What would you recommend as the *easiest* way for someone with little
computer competence to transfer my current MM store of emails &
folders into Fastmail so that they will be available should I use the
web to access my Fastmail account via the web from another computer
(i.e., not my computer that has MM)?
Two or three of the online review services that review different email
providers had two general concerns about Fastmail (aside from privacy,
which I’m aware of): (a) service outages, & (b) occasional lag times
of 3,4, or even up to 7 hours before a response from their
customer/tech service. Have any of you Fastmail users experienced
either of those?
Again: Thanks for your invaluable information and guidance.
Ken
