I've been with them for years and I can't remember a single outage longer than minutes. I'm sure they've had them, but in my experience, Fastmail is 100% reliable, and will continue to get my money until they prove otherwise.

sounds like what I'm after. Have you had the chance to benchmark it with anything over the years? I'm just curious about the competition at this point

It's always worked for my purely IMAP workflow, so I've never bothered trying anything else. It's my personal mail, so I never really end up sending or receiving LARGENUM mails through them.

Personally, I don't notice a difference between them and my work IMAP servers, which have been Google Apps and some Oracle thing.
