How do you plan to change emails? I'm thinking of moving out of Gmail too but didn't decide on a service yet. Office 365 with Exchange sounds good but it's like moving from one monopoly to another I guess.
Fastmail is the best of the non-gmail email providers imo. Plus they're a simple business: you give them money and they give you email. You should check them out.
I only skimmed their website, but I didn't see user aliasing[edit: they do aliasing & wildcards], or shared accounts. In fact any real mailbox features?
I am becoming concerned about the power Google has over my life (have been for a while). They know what you're reading (Chrome, even in incognito mode via DNS), what your thinking (web searches), who you're in contact with (Gmail, Android + their Apps), not to mention maps and what they do with your photos/ drive data. Even patient data with the NHS sharing data with Deepmind[0]. The company needs to broken up as the Did with Microsoft years ago.
Fastmail user here. I had problems with spam too when I first signed up, but then I discovered I could change the spam protection level from "Standard" to "Aggressive" in the mail settings screen (the default is "Standard"). That immediately solved almost all of my spam problems.
I never had that problem, unless you mean things like the occasional Facebook or Twitter notification ending up in spam, but I didn't care about those.
Also, Gmail definitely has a problem with false positives. At the small agency where I worked a few years ago, a lot of our internal company emails were ending up in spam folders. It got so bad that I had to go around adding our company email domain to the spam exclusion filters just to make sure that my co-workers were receiving my emails.
I assume gp is referencing the necessity of training the spam filter.
I didn't have big problems with it, except for a monthly student loan payment confirmation email that fastmail refused to classify as not spam no matter how many times I so marked it.
In general, I found gmail's spam filter to be the best. If, however, you don't need to regularly interact with lots of new email addresses, fastmail will work fine for you.
This is exactly it. I found myself having to manually classify spam/notspam for the first time in over a decade.
This might be fine for some or even most people but if like me you’d prefer to spend less time on email not more it may not be the best choice as an email provider.
Nothing against the service, just be prepared to manually train a spam filter
Test Pilot Containers is the best innovation in a browser for me lately. I used to create separate profiles in Chrome to have multiple logins for a single website. Now I can just create another container and have
a new profile side by side in the same window.
Containers are supported in Firefox Nightly without the Test Pilot Addon.
Why would anyone want to block the update? I updated mine without any hassle. Took only about 10 minutes or less to finish installing. I had to reconfigure my custom context menu and explorer shortcuts though.
I just got a giant warning popup from Parallels (virtualization software) on MacOS that I need to update Parallels before upgrading any Windows guest OSs to Windows 10 Creator's Update. The update claims to fix an issue where Windows won't boot after updating. So, maybe one would want to block the update for reasons such as this? Not sure...it was easy enough for me to stop and update Parallels first, but maybe others have reasons for not doing so.
I love TMSB. I remember one episode where they had to build a bridge out of toothpicks and gum drops (they were shrunk). Not sure why that episode sticks with me, maybe because I was really into K'nex as a kid?
I'm kind of bitter that they replaced Ms Frizzle. Lily Tomlin is still alive and in another Netflix show, why couldn't she voice her?
I see a lot of comments suggesting FastMail and other email service providers with custom domains. Can someone explain how FastMail differs from Microsoft Office 365 Plans like Business Premium which allows custom domains and exchange because to me Microsoft seems to be the better option with Office suite and OneDrive storage. I'm skeptical thinking whether Microsoft could also ban a paid user's account like this without any prior warning or export option.
