Who cares? Why go through all that effort just to move your data out of the US, if they really wanted to read that they would, but they most likely would not care.

Silly over reaction. Your going to use a service that is not as good, waste a bunch of on importing/exporting for reasons that would have made no difference to your life.

So your actively choosing to downgrade your life to spite someone else. Smart move.

FastMail's servers are in the US. The company is based in Australia.

I recently moved my email to FastMail and I really like it. I even prefer its web interface over Gmail's. Please explain why you feel that FastMail's service is inferior. My experience has been to the opposite.

I appreciate the attitude that making changes like this can often be imbalanced with regard to cost/reward. However it is beyond time for some alternatives to show up and compete.

We have stagnation right now and Google is being allowed to make mistakes.

It has reached a point where I don't want my data on their servers. Then you start to notice how ubiquitous their servers are, it should make anyone uncomfortable that there aren't more options.

FastMail is an upgrade from GMail. It's good enough, that after swearing never to pay for a webmail service at one time, I remain a paying customer of FastMail after 10+ years.
