You're right, of course, but this simply switches the "reason not to use Fastmail" from "based in Australia" to "not e2e encrypted and can rat out your entire email history".

I don't see e2ee email happening anytime soon. The technology is just not very user friendly. And honestly, without e2ee, I don't put much trust into providers like Protonmail either because at some point the email is coming in as plain text and that's where one could always siphon it off.

I would consider that a valid position to take! I don't feel my threat model justifies the limitations of E2E email, but many do.

I am not trying to tell you to use Fastmail, just that fear of doing so explicitly because of Australian law is silly. ;)
