- Yes, initial payload size matters. But where's the true comparison about what each app is loading? How are the features and the UX? Would a power user be satisfied with Fastmail (e.g. search, filters, etc.)? (It looks nice, but none of this was discussed at all).

My experience with Fastmail's webmail (coming from GApps) is that it has all the features a power user needs, minus the annoying Google+ and Google Drive integration. Heck, it even uses GMail-style keyboard shortcuts.

The primary downside is that you lose labels (and get folders instead).

- Switching is never as simple as described, and forwarding is a fairly messy solution (and will only get messy as the author creates new login accounts and further forks his usage).

For me, the automatic IMAP migration in Fastmail just worked, ~21000 e-mails.
