After 2 - 3 weeks of trying both @protonmail and @fastmail I have decided to fully switch to Proton going forward.

With Proton you get email, ProtonPass, Proton VPN and other stuff. You also get 500GB of storage instead of the measly little 100GB of storage that Fastmail offers. Notifications on Fastmail were also VERY VERY delayed most of the time, on both Android and iOS.

The other day, I mentioned here: https://allthingstech.social/@cliffwade/111767025900398705 That I was looking to move away from Gmail, but more specifically create a new email address since I had been using the same one for 20 years and decided to give @protonmail and @fastmail both a try.

I have decided to go with Fastmail as I feel it meets my needs a bit better at this time. I have even decided to go with a paid plan, which is something I thought I'd never do, pay for email!

One thing I am discovering about @fastmail is that it actually doesn't have Labels of any kind. It has folders, but not labels.

I rely on labels quite a bit and not having labels is kind of disappointing.
