<p dir="auto">I switched to fastmail after 15 or 16 years of hosting my own mail server.</p>
<p dir="auto">I've been really happy with them. Migrating all my old mail was a snap and happened much more quickly than I expected. They also have MailMate-specific setup instructions, so they are MailMate-friendly at least to that extent:</p>
<p dir="auto"><a href="https://www.fastmail.help/hc/en-us/articles/1500000280001-How-to-set-up-MailMate" style="color: #777777;">https://www.fastmail.help/hc/en-us/articles/1500000280001-How-to-set-up-MailMate</a></p>
<p dir="auto">I don't remember whether I had to use their instructions or not, the whole thing was pretty simple and straightforward.</p>
<p dir="auto">I'm using their "standard" 30 GB plan. Paying up front for a couple of years brought the price down to a little less than $4/month.</p>
<p dir="auto">Honestly, I should have done something like this years ago. Hosting my own mail server cost a lot more and although it was sort of fun and educational in its time, that hadn't actually been the case for a long time.</p>
<p dir="auto">So FWIW, happy fastmail customer here. I expect to stick with them for a long time.</p>

<p dir="auto"><em>Thanks</em> for the continued stream of great info.</p>
<p dir="auto">My plan to move to a much cheaper dedicated server crashed when I discovered that a much cheaper dedicated server couldn’t deliver what I needed.</p>
<p dir="auto">Part of Plan B includes finding a good, secure email provider that (a) will accept my domain name, (b) plays well with Mail Mate, (c) will allow me to import my current array of emails, & (d) allows sufficient storage (e.g., StartMail looks great but has an inflexible limit of only 10G storage for all plans).</p>
<p dir="auto">The following prospects made the initial cuts of my research. I’d appreciate your comments about any of the following or any other provider you recommend or warn against.</p>
<p dir="auto">MailFence<br>
Proton<br>
Fastmail<br>
Thexyz<br>
Scala Hosting<br>
mailbox.org</p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks as always for your help.</p>
