Off-topic ...

I have not tried Hey.com yet and respect the author for the comparison of the two email platforms, but here’s two points:

1). Fastmail has custom domains to the nth degree (I have 20+ domains there, not certain how many Hey is planning to support and if they’re willing to handle replies from each)

2). Gmail or Yahoo seem to be a more appropriate review in these early days

Just my 2 cents ;)

1. Absolutely! This is in the conclusion of the post - I suggest HEY won’t match this.

2. I disagree here because Fastmail and HEY are both paid-for services, so the target market is likely similar. I could be wrong of course!

>> I have 20+ domains there

can you expand on this? Are all domains under a single "user" account? the Fastmail web site is rather unclear about multiple domains and multiple addresses per domain. thx

Yes, you just add new domains in the settings. It’s incredibly powerful. For each domain you can have seemingly unlimited addresses, either mapped to your main user account or as a forwarder. If you want multiple accounts (ie. different users logging into to individual accounts) for a domain then you have to pay for each.
