Same, in fact I just got my renewal notice over the weekend, which means either yesterday or today was the day I turned Gmail off for good.

I vastly prefer Fastmail's web client to any modern native client, though Claws mail comes close if only for its abundantly configurable interface. I really enjoy the extras with Fastmail too; the Notes and Files apps are perfect for quick access from any device. The fact that their iPhone app is a near perfect mirror of the desktop web client helps too.
> "I never used the Gmail-exclusive features like labels, so switching was pretty easy. I highly recommend it to anyone considering it."
Coming from over a decade of IMAP folders, I hated Gmail labels and found them awkward. Fastmail uses folders and I'm in my happy place with them.
I never thought I'd pay for email service beyond hosting my own, but Fastmail is definitely worth it to me.
- distances 9y ago> the Notes and Files apps are perfect for quick access from any device Thanks for this heads-up! I've been looking for a super-simple notes taking method that would span work, home, and mobile. I never realized FastMail has one just under my nose!
