Because 1GB Isn’t Enough
I’ve been a Fastmail user for several years now. My enhanced account with 150 MB of IMAP storage, plus file storage, with an excellent web interface makes managing my e-mail nice and easy.
And while I pay $40USD/year for Fastmail, my Gmail account gives me 1GB of storage free. But it’s certainly no where near as powerful as Fastmail, but most importantly, I don’t get native client access (via IMAP) to Gmail.
In response to Google and all the other competition, Fastmail has increased the storage. I now have over 2GB of storage with Fastmail.
