[Noisebridge-discuss] decent stable email service - non corporate based

[Alex Buie]

I've had excellent luck with fastmail.fm (https://www.fastmail.fm/)

Lots of friends/users/coworkers also have had good experiences. They're not
really "non-commercial", but email is their core business, and they're
super reasonably priced.
