I’m considering swapping from Proton Mail to Fastmail. The fact that it allows 3-year subscriptions is good (I’d prefer a lifetime plan but I understand why that’s a non-starter), the fact that it’s based local to me is good too.
EDIT: I wish it also at least offered a rolling 3-year subscription.
Since anything but fully on-device encrypted/decrypted mails is still inherently insecure due to being unable to control the receiving end I consider email an insecure medium by default.
That was my reason to go with fastmail when I moved away from Gmail a couple of years ago and I am very happy with their service and apps. I am also paying three years at a time and would like to pay even further ahead of time, but what can you do.
I tried proton but didn’t like being locked into using their apps or hosting the SMTP bridge at which point I might as well use a less secure approach to begin with that is more comfortable to use.

+1 for Fastmail
