"Most of FastMail.fm's pages have an outdated look to them - only the Minimal theme looks modern. Apple's success should be enough to convince everyone that design matters."
Ironically, Apple could take this advice too; it's not like their webmail design is anything special (in my opinion). Looks too much like a desktop app when it should look more like a web app and feels slow to boot.
Re. Fastmail: I'm trying them for 6 months. I'm happy enough so far and think I'll stick with them. Still holding out for push support for iPhone and more secure on-server email storage though... Both of which are offered by Rackspace, which seems to have a good reputation as well, so I'm tempted to switch.
