This isn't a good comparison. I can't just switch to a new email service and still get the messages that will be sent to my fastmail address years from now. Even if fastmail offered me $100 to...

They didn't sell a "lifetime account or your money back." I bought a lifetime account, end of story. They can't unilaterally undo the sale. They could decide to give me a million dollars, but they...

Thank you for stating this so clearly and in what is probably a less inflammatory tone than I've done. Do you know how to get the attention of the people who work at fastmail?

Easy for you to say if you did that years ago. In 2002 I didn't know about getting a domain name, and now it's too late. All my contacts know me by my fastmail address and have for many years. And...
