Fastmail: My Wishes for 2023

Hi,

I'm a happy Fastmail user, but there are also a few downsides, which I hope they will change in 2023.

I cannot understand that in 2022 they don't have: - IPv6 - DNSSEC / DANE - DMARC

Hope some or all of the feature will come in 2023.

And one of my biggest downsides is, that they 'only' have their servers within US.

A few years ago they had servers within EU (amsterdam I think) but they ditched it and went US only. Maybe they think about hosting mails within EU (check 1Password - they also do have several datapoints: US/CAN/EU).

What about your pro/cons and wishes?

    I was a happy FastMail customer for years, but lack of IPv6+DNSSEC was also disappointing for me. I eventually heard about Migadu ( https://www.migadu.com/ ) which has all that, and AFAIK, EU servers as well.

    The only downside for me is the web UI isn't nearly as polished as FastMail.

    I'd like to see calendars that can be non-publically shared with (and maybe even written to by) non-Fastmail-Users.
