I've moved to Fastmail in 2015 and I had a long term Gmail account since high school, I've never missed Gmail one bit, I encourage you to do it.

  I also moved to Fastmail years ago. I used to think it would be hell to migrate a service as essential as email, but it basically took a repointing of DNS and running Fastmail's importer. It took half an hour and I've been a super happy user ever since, and I couldn't believe how bloated Gmail felt after trying Fastmail.

  The thing keeping me from switching away from Gmail is the lack of IMAP IDLE on iOS. I can’t believe Apple still refuses to implement it in 2018... I see a FastMail app on the App Store but from the screenshots it looks pretty bad (is it just a web view?)

    FastMail supports native iOS mail push notifications for mail.app. That caters my usecase.

    There are other general-purpose mail apps on the app store. I'm partial to outlook.

    Another good reason to drop iOS from your workflow.

  I use Google for ~15 years now (own domain) and I appreciate the let me use what is today GSuite for free. Moving to fastmail would be a possibility but they do not have a calendaring system.

    Huh? FastMail has had a fully-featured calendar for years.

    They do have one, I can't comment on the quality of it since I never used it (I also never used Google Calendar) but it's there.
