+1 for fastmail… it’s one of those products that isn’t trying to trick you… you pay for it, and it’s just a solid product that tries to be the best at what it is…

it’ll let you have as many domains and aliases as you like, including wildcards for email (and lets you reply/send appropriately using any of those aliases)

it’ll let you pull all your calendars and push events into a single one of your choosing - it doesn’t have to be theirs

i could probably replicate some of what it does with my home server, but it’s really nice that i don’t have to

Does it have good spam filtering like Gmail?

[–] tgxn@lemmy.tgxn.net 3 points 3 months ago

Yep! It's decent

i can’t remember the last time i got spam… i don’t know if it’s as good as, but it’s not a problem that i’ve noticed

I really want to move my domain from Google to Proton, but family accounts at Proton are so dang expensive. Fastmail is far cheaper than Google, so that looks like it might be a really good option.

yeah i have my single email account setup with 5 different domains and a multitude of different aliases - including *@auto. so you can sign up for throwaway service@auto.mydomain and nobody knows that it’s a throwaway so it never gets blocked by services (and the + trick in emails is well known by people doing nefarious things with email - they’ll automatically strip the wildcard part out so it can’t be traced)
