Torn between Fastmail and Runbox.
I have been with fast mail for over 8 years now. I am still using one of their legacy plans that don't allow a custom domain. I recently got one and would like to use it. I have been torn between fast mail and runbox. I emailed Fastmail support to see if I could get a bit of a discount and they gave me a 20% for a year. Runbox on the other hand has amazing support but everything else about it seems a bit bland including its webmail interface.
Any experiences with either service or other advice would be appreciated. Thank you. |

There is a new Runbox web interface undergoing beta testing by volunteers from the existing customers.
As far as I'm concerned, I can quite happily live with the current one. |

Various broken promises by FM. See numerous (oldish by now) threads in FM subforum.

Are you sure? The new interface is still in beta...
As far as I know, you sign up for trial with the current interface, and then you may joint the beta testers group, though I'm not sure if those on free trial are allowed to. |

Ok, I stand corrected...
Does it mean you are free to publicly discuss/praise/criticise the new interface ? If so, you are less restricted than the testers, who are supposed to keep mum outside the dedicated forum. |

It was a regular account instead of Trial acct I signed up for a MINI acct. I saw no restrictions about discussing features
