Re:Moving from Hey to Fastmail

Hey's biggest fail is missing notifications for first time senders. It seems to assume people are constantly using email. But for me days can sometimes go by until I am active rather than reactive on a particular account. With Hey, I only then realized that there were two emails stuck waiting for me screening them.

This is why I'm cancelling my hey subscription as well. I get that they are upfront about it being a feature, and it sounds great at first, but it's made me paranoid about missing mails now - a feeling I never got with any other service provider. It's a shame, as I got in pretty early and bagged a great account name (firstname @ hey.com). But it's not worth sacrificing my sanity for vanity.
