for now a basic pobox user costs $24/y with a mailbox added.

Unique features, such as spam reports, trusted senders and mail stats are gone.

update: I asked FM's support, once the migration is finished, user can choose to either forward or keep-inbox their emails.

Update: migration has been done. now I have fastmail interface instead of pobox.
All messages can be delivered into fastmail inbox, rather than a forwarding.

POBOX is dead.

According to the knowledge I learned from my PhD in statistics at Clemson University, you should not use a domain name with "box" in its name for your email address, such as pobox.com, openmbox.net, and inbox.com, which are all dead.

They brought inbox.com back to life and pobox.com has been reincarnated.
But it remains sad.

So messages get delivered to inbox and then you have filters to forward the email? Do you have an option to disable an alias?
