Looks like it's a decision made for very personal reasons, but some of the issues are not really issues. > As of this writing, I'm up to 4 accounts. They're not all yours, they're your family members'. And given the fact that you have to pay for them, they probably won't really need Fastmail, they can use Gmail and you set up aliases/forwards for their addresses. > FastMail's spam filtering is good, but it's not as good as Google's. My experience is the opposite, somehow. I very rarely get spam in Fastmail, and 99% of the time it falls into spam folders (even having *@myuser.fastmail.fm wildcard, catchall addresses!). I get very few false positives, too. It might be not as heavily targeted by spammers. Meanwhile I get 10-30 a day in Gmail, with roughly 20% of false positives, with so many false positives that I had to switch my email account to Fastmail on certain websites because I missed important emails (like notices of cancelled flight reservations, Amazon refunds, work reminders). It doesn't matter how many times I mark a sender's email as non-spam, Gmail thinks it knows better. > Mailbox being compatible with only Gmail and iCloud accounts. Well, duh. I'm good with Aquamail, mutt and the web client, as Fastmail rules do all the filtering I care about. I wanted to test Google Inbox and Dropbox Mailbox, so I set a forward to my Gmail address. They didn't do anything interesting to me, so I disabled it again, but if you want to use them, you totally can. I have to say, though, that Fastmail Android app is sluggish as hell and, last time I checked, it didn't cache messages (deal breaker for me, I travel a lot and want to have boarding passes and reservations handy). > IFTTT integration Forward to Gmail, enjoy IFTTT.
