Considering moving to Fastmail myself. I usually use mailbox.org but they've been having far too many outages recently (some declared on their status page, some not). Problem is I use numerous E-Mail aliases for different services and it seems intimidating to transfer them all.
Can anyone speak to whether Fastmail is more or less likely to be accepted on "strict" sites that require larger providers?
I degoogled myself from Gmail/Calendar ... five years ago now? Zero issues with Fastmail that might've affected my life in any way.
I can kinda-sorta remember a few outages, but they were night time in my TZ so I found out about them after the fact.
Also I _love_ how they're not doing the Proton route and trying to become an everything-service. They do mail, calendar and contact sync, that's about it. No VPNs or cloud storage or AI offerings.
Most providers from my understanding don't handle aliases well.
I have a catchall *@domain.tld and Fastmail when it receives an email on an alias, responds correctly with the proper alias.
Also when I compose, it let's me write in a custom alias for the From sender.
Other providers and email clients seem to want you to create an identity for each alias which is a huge burden.
