I'd like to echo similar feedback. After I dropped gmail and went to fastmail i noticed it to be MUCH faster. gmail is my primary personal account. I really appreciated taking control of e-mail again.
i'm happily paying for e-mail and tend to think putting money down ensures I keep myself honest and maintain a workflow. Now I only save e-mails that are important to me, instead of archiving everything.
One of the nicest things about Gmail is to send myself an email with info or an attachment that I can't think of anywhere logical to put it so I'll find it again. Their search makes it the best filing system, a no-file filing system.
