Nice move. More control over where data lives is something a lot of teams ask for. If you're thinking through email setup and retention as part of that, Mailtwine can help keep the workflow simple.

Thank you very much for this option #fastmail! I'm moving my primary data residency to the EU, because from here in Somerset West (close to Cape Town) the average ping to your servers will improve from 211ms to 176ms.

Sweet! The migration seems to have gone smoothly and very transparently. I can even see the fastmail web-app queries going through ams.api.fastmail.com/jmap/api/ in Amsterdam!

I appreciate how transparent and straightforward you are about where data resides and how it can cross geographic/jurisdiction boundaries! There’s no word games, no need to pore through an ancillary document.
