I moved to fastmail from gmail to slightly de-google my life.

The biggest issue i've had so far is the search is terrible, and the spam filtering has many more false positives.

I agree that the search in Fastmail is fairly bad - it does have an 'advanced' menu option that isn't immediately obvious, but it's still not super great.

You made me panic when you mentioned Spam false positives, as I've never really bothered checking that folder!

Thankfully I don't appear to have any so far. Better than bloody GMail arbitrarily deciding that subscriptions and emails I've long-since received from various sources being suddenly spam... .

That's in fact my exact issue. The newsletter from the mayor of Seattle regularly gets tagged, for example.
