I've used Fastmail for years. It's been rock-solid, both before and after the acquisition. I can only recall one outage that was long enough for me to notice in that time. It's very, very good if you want an imap provider. The only compelling argument for gmail, imo, is the integration benefit, which continues to increase (e.g. recent Now enhancements).

Prior to that, they were bought by Opera in 2010. http://www.operasoftware.com/press/releases/general/opera-acquires-fastmail.fm http://www.operasoftware.com/press/releases/general/opera-ac... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6448549 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6448549
