Maybe it's just me but I don't have "Australia going to force my email provider to hand over my data" in my threat model.
It's probably worth thinking about that too before hastily switching email providers. Fastmail is a solid provider, with great support and I never had a real issue with them. I give them money, they provide me a good and stable email service.

- krageon 5y agoYou should have "my mail data should not be shared with third parties" as a general rule for mail providers. If that's not you, cool - but I'd wager most folks don't want their mail read :)
- dewey 5y agoIf you don't want your mail shared with third parties you just have to encrypt your email and then it doesn't matter who your provider is. There's a difference between "don't want their mail read" and "someone will be able to read my emails if there's a court order and they are interested in the content of my specific inbox".

- dewey 5y agoThis could happen to any country and is also precisely the reason why you use your own domain. You'd just point it to a new mail provider and you'll be up and running in an hour. If you use a local mail client that stores your email locally you'll also have access to all these.
