Pobox is merging to Fastmail

The time has come. Hidden in the help files: all Pobox customers will be migrated to Fastmail.

Going to be difficult for me I have accounts with both FM & Pobox.

I have emailed support to ask how they are going to deal with this.

Can you merge both accounts and pay for one subscription instead of both?

I've no idea how other Pobox users feel about it, but for me it seems good
I was a Fastmail member since day 1 and owned a Pobox basic account too (all mails sent to my Pobox address were forwarded to my Fastmail account.)
Several years ago I upgraded my Pobox basic account to Pobox Mailstore and cancelled my Fastmail account. (Pobox Mailstore gave me double storage for the same price, and I needed it...)
Now Fastmail offers the same storage as Pobox provides, but has many more features, so I'm quite happy to hear the news

I wonder if they will keep the forwarding only option of POBox Basic? It doesn't appear you can sign up for such a plan with FM.

They have it priced at $24 a year and comes with 500mb for emails. You can either use this plan to forward your emails somewhere else or use their web.

Well, just now I've received an email from Pobox letting me know that next month "all Pobox users, including you, will be upgraded to Fastmail."
There's a link to the detailed help page which Berenburger already posted here yesterday.

Didn’t receive it yet, but I have a Basic account.

I see that option for users who are being migrated from POBox Basic to Fastmail Lite, but it only includes the option for one personal domain. Also, I don't see Fastmail Lite as an option for new signups anywhere.

Customers subscribed to Pobox Basic plan will be migrated to the Fastmail Lite plan. This plan comes with IMAP/POP/SMTP access, webmail access, 500 MB of mail storage quota per user, and up to 60 aliases. You'll also get calendars and contacts on the web & Fastmail app, plus 100 MB of file storage.

We've added a bonus to the Fastmail Lite plan for Pobox customers: if you have a custom domain on your Pobox account, you will be able to continue using your domain at Fastmail at no extra cost. You can upgrade to a Fastmail Standard plan if you?d like to add more domains.

This plan will cost $24 per year.

This Fastmail Lite plan is for only pobox migrators. I would love to get that plan since my email usage is very low.
