Anyone using FastMail in OSX?

Is it dependable? Compatible with Mail.app? How about Webmail access? And tech support? Any lost mail? Other issues? Is there a better alternative?

Thanks in advance!

I have a Fastmail account. It works just fine with Mail.app. Webmail interface is very good. I've never lost any mail that I know of. Uptime is excellent. Recommended.

I have been using fastmail now for over a year and it is far-better then any other mail service, that I have used. Free, very fast, no spam, very good support, and work fine on OSX. Also you do not get adds in the web interface, or in your emails.

I recommend it to everyone.

I've been using fastmail for about 6 months. No complaints.

I've been using a couple of paid fastmail accounts for awhile. I don't know of any mail lost, and though I personally find the web interface clunky it does what it needs it to do.

Oh, and it integrates well with Mail.app.

From what I can tell the guys who run fastmail care a lot about the service. Their FAQs are extensive and the service is really flexible. I think for many people fastmail is an excellent solution to their e.mail needs.
