I have some thoughts on Fastmail.

I switched from Gmail to Fastmail a year ago. Thank goodness it was a yearlong 
relatively slow transition for me and I had hung on to my gmail accounts.

In December I started getting errors in Mailmate that Fastmail was complaining 
about too many tags every time I attempted to assign a new tag. I would delete 
the assigned tag and as I’m a pretty heavy user of tags I opened a ticket with 
Fastmail.

The long and the short is that the Fastmail account is limited to 150 tags 
across all users and aliases. For my modus operandi that is grossly 
insufficient. As much as I would like to get off of Gmail, for the present I am 
migrating back from Fastmail and trying to envision a use for the 2 years 
remaining on my Fastmail subscription.

I like Fastmail and this was the only thing that cropped up that is unworkable 
for me. So if you’re not a user of Tags, I heartily recommend it.
