No proof, just my reading of the tea leaves.

Buying Pobox fits in. The idea of selling is finding a buyer who wants a consolidated email footprint. So you work out the numbers and decide.

Communicant's post #149 ("FastMail has been commercially shortsighted and tone-deaf in this matter" etc.) and similar ones are entirely right.

I agree with a no-JS interface and don't see why it has to be maintained in parallel with the back end. It can be a plain IMAP client like Horde, Squirrelmail, Roundcube, Rainloop, etc. As long as...

Some security thoughts:

1. One easy way to handle restricted mode might be to have an alternative web UI that's just a pure IMAP client, that could have its own password and optional 2FA. I'd use...

Gandi's email blurb says explicitly that they never back up the email, which seems to defeat the point of hosted services.

I didn't even know about mxroute.io and they might have forgotten about it or something. They're responsive to support tickets so you might open one.

I think FM's galleries/websites are a cool feature and I like their low-tech look and I use them. However, they are sort of an extra to the email service. There's tons of cheap general purpose web...

I don't currently have any home servers--I might set one up, but I don't trust my home internet to stay connected while I'm away anyway (router occasionally gets wedged and needs power cycling). So...

Fastmail is certainly taking new subscribers now, and if they ever stopped it would have just been briefly while they did some software changes a couple months ago. They are doing fine (I use them)....
