Fastmail review

Fastmail is the pick for people who would rather pay for email than be the product. There is no free tier, and the Fastmail Monthly Plan costs $6.49 a month on the US App Store after a trial of up to 30 days. In return the Individual plan includes 60 GB of storage, split into 50 GB for mail, calendar and contacts and 10 GB for files, plus custom domains, extra addresses and Masked Email, which generates a different address for each login so a data breach does not expose your main inbox. Fastmail says it shows no ads and does no tracking, encrypts data in transit and at rest, and offers 24/7 support from people rather than chatbots. The apps search inside attachments and support snooze, scheduled send and rules. Messages are not end-to-end encrypted, so it trades some privacy for standard IMAP compatibility.
