I’m not particularly looking forward to the day I’m forced into the new interface. It’s slow as hell on Firefox and is continually dropping keyboard shortcut events unless I type each. one. slowly. and. deliberately.

I use FastMail at home, but we have G Suite at work. The worst is when opening a new message from a mailto: href, I used to be able to start typing as soon the text box appeared. Now I often end up sending a (nearly?) blank message, which I luckily have always caught with the undo feature (but still!). I don't know if it's catching my return after the greeting and triggering the send button or what, but it's annoying!

Yeah it takes like 20 seconds to load on Firefox.. Whats they deal with that; Is that on purpose to force people to use chrome?? I'd rather drop gmail, but I'll need to change my email for like 100 accounts which will be a massive pain... Actually is there any way around that?

  Enable forwarding to the new address. Update email contacts and accounts as needed. Be sure to check that forwarding exists on your new provider, just in case you'll have to do the same when switching again. Better yet: buy your own domain and use a service that allows you to use it.

  You can set up gmail to forward messages to your new address.

Use an alternate client, like Thunderbird or mutt on desktop and K9-Mail on Android.
