I know the people @ fastmail - personal bias... I'd recommend them because I know the competence of the individuals involved, and have heard some of the war stories... https://blog.fastmail.com/ On Mon, Dec 19, 2016 at 6:44 PM, Stewart Smith via luv-main < luv-main@luv.asn.au> wrote:

I am looking for an email service provider which offers pop3 to download email to a local machine. Mcmedia no longer providing this since they were bought by Bendigo telco I would also like this to be a constant email address that does not change every time I need to change ISP's. Privacy is also something of an issue and there seems to be some question on this issue with Gmail which I believe does allow the use of pop3.
I've recently started using FastMail - for various reasons, many of which are ease of use, friendliness towards free software and being based in Melbourne.
You can use their web UI, or grab mail via POP or IMAP.
The way I have things set up is that there's a cache of recent mail on their servers (so I can use web or phone apps) and I also sync everything to local disk, purging old mail from server. _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list luv-main@luv.asn.au https://lists.luv.asn.au/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luv-main
