The reason I use Fastmail is they sell you email instead of doing sketchy stuff with your data. As a side effect, this also means they have actual customer service! I've contacted them a handful of times and each time received a real response by a person who understood what they were talking about.
Their web client is as good as it gets except for gmail, and under active development: stuff slowly but seemingly constantly improves. eg they recently added "add Rule from Message" functionality. It remains very responsive with 6G of email.
They also apparently slightly increased prices (with larger data allocations) while I've been a customer and they silently grandfathered me into the old pricing.
Also, one upside of running a domain for your email is you can use [sitename]@kartickv.com for every site. This not only makes routing email very easy, but allows you to both tell who sold your contact info and block that address.
