The Best and Second Best Email Service Providers: Emailing Services Ranked

By: Published On:

I remained an extremely loyal and devoted user of Fastmail for over a decade. I started using Fastmail in 2010 or 2011, and until the end of 2021, I remained a loyal user of the service. Owing to some undesirable changes in circumstances, I had to switch to a free emailing service, nevertheless, I still consider Fastmail the best emailing system available to the Internet users.

Fastmail offers its users a rich set of options. It has fantastic regular-expressions-based filters for filtering out unwanted emails, an excellent interface, spectacular keyboard-enabled access to at least the most used elements of the interface, which greatly enhances the user experience afforded to an expert keyboard user, and extremely responsive customer service. Also, you can hide your base email address by relying on aliases. All of these features — especially the excellent interface, stellar keyboard-enabled access to elements, and filtering — are available for less than the price of a large cup of Starbucks coffee; it costs a meager, spectacularly affordable 3 USD for the entry-level account, which remained perfectly adequate for me for over 10 years. If you decide to pay for the plan on a yearly or bi-yearly basis, the price per month drops to somewhere in the region of 2.35 US dollars per month. For an excellent user experience and timely support from real people — not chatbots, if you ever run into any problems and need support — I consider it a negligible, almost non-existent, expense when people are busy spending money on at least a couple of large cups of Starbucks coffee and avocado toasts daily.

As an expert computer user, user experience expert, and experienced front-end developer, I wholeheartedly recommend Fastmail to anybody planning to set up a new account or interested in trying out a new service because he or she wants a better experience than what the spectacularly below average Gmail has to offer. When it comes to my aforementioned expertise, I will include a link to my LinkedIn profile where all of the details of my various endeavors in the field of computer science, especially front-end development, are listed along with all of the necessary details.

However, if, for one reason or another, you are not in a position to spend on an emailing service, then, without any hesitation at all, I would highly recommend switching to Outlook instead of persisting with Gmail which offers an extremely poor user interface to its users. Although I had to switch because of some unfortunate changes in circumstances, however, Outlook.com has proven to be a true revelation. The user interface offered to its users is very good and the set of options is quite rich, as well. Although I would still recommend Fastmail to all those who can afford to pay a negligible 2.5 USD per month, however, for those not in a position to pay even that much and on a strict budget, consider Outlook as an excellent free option. Microsoft offers a generous amount of free storage on Microsoft OneDrive, as well.

Full Disclosure: I was neither paid nor asked to write this review. The spectacular levels of attention to user experience paid by the team running the Fastmail emailing service has compelled me to share my views and recommend their service. I received neither any money (not even a single penny) nor any other types of personal gifts or favors from the service provider.

Do Telepaths Exist? Outrageously Disgusting Tale Of Torture Using Telepathy — Part II

Date: May 29, 2025: I’ve finally found the energy to add some corroboratory evidence to this document, some files generated by real time systems with servers in America, Australia, and Canada. I had zero say in the numbers injected by those servers in these files. What exactly has been the role of the people who had these roll numbers, I have absolutely no idea. I have much more proof to add to this document to prove the spectacular levels of corruption perpetrated by certain doctors and their colluding parties, however, the nefarious, outright criminal parties blocking the progress are making it extremely difficult to complete it easily. Sincerely hoping that I will be able to finish it within the next 3 to 4 months. Dr. Iffat Seema, who is my mother’s sister’s daughter, has played a horrific role in the whole of the process, and I have proof to corroborate the aforementioned. I still have some more screenshots to prove that even the systems being operated by Americans have been s...

Media Empires, Theft Of Information Using Telepathy, And Increasing Anxiety Rates

As I have mentioned before, some outside parties have been spectacularly limiting my abilities to engage in all of the activities in which I truly excel. I wrote this article in the Facebook’s “Create Post” text box with the help of even Grammarly’s grammar checking tools. Now some outside party, or group of people, have erected barriers to thoroughly editing this document which was written in real time and without the assistance of any assistive technology at all. I will try to post a thoroughly edited version soon, as the flow of the document has major issues. When it comes to the use of the paranormal to steal information from a person’s room and forging the dates of programs to create an absolutely fake impression that the viewer is busy watching an episode that was recorded years ago, hence, the names and scenes that now perfectly match their circumstance can only be described as a coincidence, I have had to tolerate this behavior extremely frequently. When I was still busy...

Amanda Davies, The Desire To Write An Innocuous Critique, And Badly Stalled Cerebrum

This article is currently a work in progress as some outside party capable of inflicting severe pain and completely stalling even an outstandingly talented person’s progress is not letting me compile all of the evidence in single, painfree attempt. Hence, I will be updating it over the period of next month or two to include as many emails detailing the desire to write this article as possible. The most critical points: Year 2000: an email from dr_iqbal@yahoo.com commenting on what had been projected on my sleeping brain the previous night, events that mankind, doctors, and psychologists call dreams or nightmares. The email was read by all of the members of the sahics97 emailing list, and at least 4 boys decided to comment on the matter. Year 2003: Married Sania Mumtaz showed at precisely the time when I was about to submit my parser assignment and sat on the desk right next to where I was sitting assuming a rather vulgar pose. After her arrival...
