FastMail used to be awesome till two years ago when the downfall started. First it was the makeover and then things stopped working.
At this point from a privacy perspective they are terrible. Not only because of Taliban style Aussie privacy laws but their system too is anti-privacy.
FM system automatically creates contact lists from all emails, automatically backs up deleted emails, drafts etc. You have no control on this and is ideal for govt data mining and social graph generation. Sure they say it is for your benefit but then allow me to turn it off. Given people regularly get home police visits in Australia for Facebook posts and overall police state climate does not help.
So time to stay clear of FM. They want you to pay money so their govt can trawl through your email and possibly impersonate you if need arises. No thanks, I can get that at Google.
Tutanota and Mailbox.org have superior offering with encryption at rest. Tuta has clients for all platforms with client device based crypto.
