Happy private and company users for… Happy private and company users for years. Sometimes, you really get what you paid for, I am honestly and genuinely happy with FastMail, their web app (its simplicity and speed), search speed too, their stability and reliability, the multitude of settings, aliases and multiple emails... There's nothing bad I could come up with. As far as I remember, it's also an independent private company (not owned by companies, which is a plus, not a fan of giant companies creeping in and starting to control everything). Really, keep it up as until now. Only good words.

Not good now. I have been using FastMail for few years, Its been perfect, never had a problem, I cannot find anything to criticise it. I have used support a couple of times to query odd emails and they were brilliant. I don't find many of today's products and services without fault, but I can't find fault with FastMail. In my view definitely worth the money. Further to my review. Fastmail update has in my view in 1 respect gone backwards, now requiring entering password numerous times for some actions, I don't mind improvements, but this is a total pain in the backside. Reducing my review to 1 star.

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.

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.

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.
