Gmail alternatives?
voltolibro: Dear Fastmail,I hate Gmail and desperately want to find another email/webmail service.  I want to switch to something that feels more secure, something that does email well without any of the extra junk they have been adding to my Gmail account.  I don't seem to be alone.I consulted several friends with more "tech cred" than me, and they pointed me to a few Gmail alternatives, with Fastmail at the top of the list.I went to your website and after browsing for about a minute, I wanted to scratch Fastmail off my list.  Your website came across as clunky, cold, and BLAH.  It seemed like the website was designed about five years ago, and it didn't really instill confidence that your service would be a user-friendly experience or something that I could transition to without a huge amount of effort.I decided to check out another Gmail alternative on my list called "Roundcube".  The Roundcube site was simple but elegantly designed.  More importantly, it didn't feel like it was trying to put me to sleep.  The site laid out its features via simple navigation structure, basic colors, a nice screenshot, and a non-cluttered layout.  I wanted to hug it.  It gave the vibe that they offered an email service that would make the transition away from Gmail extremely painless and straightforward.I relayed my thoughts to a techie friend, and he reiterated that your service is far superior to Roundcube.  I trust my friend, and I will probably sign up for an account with you.But seriously...  There are so many people out there right now who desperately want to break free of their Gmail shackles.  The moment is ridiculously ripe for another service to step into that vacuum and offer a refuge to all of these people.Your email service might be truly awesome, but your website is total cryptonite for people who are ready to make the switch.Welcome us with open arms, and we will come in droves!!Sincerely yours,Volto Libro
