Pobox.com Alias Plain

ankupan · 2 May 2016, 09:11 PM

hi,

Pobox.com has three Plan and their alias.

Pobox Basic....... 03 Alias
Pobox Plus..........06 Alias
Pobox Mailstore...06 Alias

their plan fee is separate and mailstore is USD 50 than why it has equal to Plus ?

I think, they should increase alias on mailstore to 10.

Any view on it !

No need. You can have with Mailstore your personal domains (100) with a "free" catch all on two of them.

I have been leery of doing that for a few years, Berenburger, ever since my domain name was hit with a spam attack.

I'm not a POBox customer, but as it's a spam-prevention service, I feel like you're missing the point.

You can exclude addresses from AllMail: https://www.pobox.com/helpspot/index...kb.page&id=308

Thanks for that, Berenburger. I am still undecided about returning to Pobox; it's a great service, always was, always will be, hopefully

Best of both worlds now. FastMail's nice frontend and Pobox's great backend.

I am hoping that as EMD is still Fastmail's official support forum, that Pobox will one day also be allowed this same status.

After some thought, I am also thinking that when my Fastmail account expires (in a few months) I will just make the switch to Pobox.......

In reality, EMD has never been an official Fastmail support forum. One of the smart early moves they made was to have a forum, not under their control, that they were free to contribute to. It was highly useful and very credible.

It is clear that the forum is now (and has for some time been) seen as a nuisance that Fastmail would prefer was now invisible, though it is still tolerated in much the same way as the classic interface.

You are likely correct BritTim (I am not one to ponder upon peanuts

Fastmail do seem able to reinvent themselves (at the drop of a hat) - fortunately.

Yes, I was talking for pobox.com alias only.
