I made the same switch a couple years ago (GMail -> Fastmail) and have had the exact same (pleasant) experience. Fastmail is fast and has sane defaults, a powerful filtering system, and good spam detection. As a bonus, I don't have to worry about Google reading my email to show me relevant ads. I've gladly spent the money to have reliable, fast, standards-friendly email. The only thing they lack is two-step authentication.

According to the Fastmail webpage, they do support (optional) two-factor authentication: https://www.fastmail.fm/signup/personal.html

Thanks! I think it's new. That's the first I've seen regarding it.

Edit: come to find out, it's only supported on secondary logins, so the master account cannot have two-factor authentication.

Yea - I was a bit hesitant but ended up making the switch anyways. It looks as if the other comment mentions that they do have it so I'll check it out.
