One star One star - only because I can't give Zero star rating. Business class email - do me a favour. In what business is it acceptable to raise a support ticket which gets responded to 4 days later with a reply that says the issue needs to be escalated and will take another week? The only telephone number they have is a FAX machine - Come on, REALLY???? Terrible service, Non existent communication and impossible to speak to anyone, anywhere in the world ( I have tried).

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'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.

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.

Very happy with Fastmail I've used Fastmail for about two years, using my own domain there. It has worked perfectly for me. For that reason, I happily can't comment on their responsiveness to service requests. I've also had zero problems with spam. I use the iOS app and my desktop, via Thunderbird. In my opinion, the cost is reasonable for the level of service, and the comfort of not wondering what invisible way the provider is building a dossier on me.
