I love Fastmail. Switched earlier this year & now I don't lose sleep about my email maybe getting canceled.

  I only have to keep an eye on what fresh authoritarian nightmares the Australian government is up to. Not the worst thing ever, but it does seem all Western jurisdictions are ticking time bombs, and thanks to Five Eyes you're at the discretion of the worst one.

    It's sad but this definitely was one of the factors (by far not the only one, probably not even the main one, however still significant) that dissuaded me from moving to FastMail.

      Care to elaborate other factors?

    You’re not wrong. I have to assume that someone is able to access & read my email if I’m not hosting it myself in my own home on my own hardware. Trade offs…

      I sympathize with you. I'm not self hosting but I'm not using Gmail which is what most of the people I know or work with are using. And yet Google could read most of my mail by looking at the mailboxes of the people I'm exchanging mail with. And the company running the SMTP and POP3 servers I use could read all my messages. I guess you are as safe from snooping as I am.

    > all Western jurisdictions are ticking time bombs I'd consider anything based in the EU to at least be a step above anywhere 5eyes. They at least make an effort towards data privacy.
