Fact is, 99% of your email exchanges will be with MS and google anyway, so that horse has bolted. In terms of the threat model facing 99% of people, getting auto banned from Gmail is a far bigger risk than big brother reading their email. I care about privacy and seriously considered protonmail, bit it was too hard to use effectively (no IMAP) and FastMail is still a huge step up from Gmail or self hosting, balancing ease of use and risk mitigation. Excited to try out the API!
