Hi Chris
I also was a huge fan of fastmail, abandoning them when they retired
their "classic" interface, which made their remaining "standard" site
inaccessible to the command line tools I had available here.
When some folks say "classic" I guess they mean "old-fashioned." I'd
return to them in a minute if I could

So if gmail is not a viable option what are others using instead?

I wasn't able to do so without a huge amount of inconvenience. Here's the rest of that story too. I went as far as enabling two-step authentication in February of 2018. Last week I tried logging into my google account. My password was complex and 20 characters in length the last time I logged into that account successfully. Last week the password had been changed and whoever did that had it shortened to 14 characters. I ended up deleting my account. If I ever create another google account I will not use any of google's enhanced security features since all of them only provide the authorized users a huge amount of hassle and are trivial for hackers to crack.
