A painless email migration to Fastmail
Today, I moved the email for a domain I own from Hey to Fastmail. Lots of factors have been niggling me to do this for the past few months, but the main factor has been cost. I just don’t need to pay that price for an email address associated with a domain.
After a couple of hours, the DNS changes finally propagated through, and the email is now fully switched over. An hour after that, I had transferred the emails from Hey to Fastmail, set up the calendars, and configured the email setup in a similar fashion to Hey, as I quite liked the idea of the Paper Trail and Feed areas for emails.
There are a few things I would like to see in Fastmail, such as a bit more spacing in the user interface. However, for now, I am quite happy with the reduced cost and the fact that the email just works without requiring me to relearn a new user interface.
I still use Hey for my personal email. I’m not quite ready to move this over to Fastmail yet, but I haven’t ruled it out.
