Well, without knowing for 100% certain that they don't disable active links in email sent to me (I detest having to copy and paste if I don't have to) or in emails I send to contacts, they will get no money from me. I had an account with fastmail.fm for several years (back when it was free). Was a pain in the rump back then, and this so-called trial account has not improved my opinion. Glad I went with posteo, but still bemoan the loss of bluebottle!
