I would not be unhappy if Opera sold FM. I don't think they've been good for FM.

Why would you not be happy if it were sold? Is there a contradiction here?

I guess you missed the double negative:

Putting it positively, "I would be happy it Opera sold FM", but that may be putting it too strongly.

I'm not sure if Opera cares much at all about FM.

Be careful what you wish for, there is no guarantee that things will improve and FM could simply be disappeared, service lessened, prices increased …

As a for instance I used Sparrow with gmail, they were bought by gmail and there will be no further improvements.

The key to success is to be nimble enough to change services with ease always anticipating that you may have a catastrophic service interruption.

Is pobox.com guaranteed never to be a victim of a catastrophic service interruption?

I can speak only from my own experience.
I've been a POBox user since 2001 and never had any kind of problem.
Regarding the future, I don't know more than you do.
Maybe if you ask POBox support they can answer your question.
Anyway I completely trust POBox! I really do

I too have been a POBox user for 10 years, and entirely endorse what Oded says.

Their spam filtering is excellent too.

I looked at POBox before deciding on Fastmail. They looked pretty good.
