This problem, along with general annoyances at Proton’s lack of focus on a good email experience pushed me over the edge to move to Fastmail. I’m so much happier. Proton Mail Bridge would often pin one core of my laptop CPU, draining my battery, and it was still slow to sync new email. With Fastmail, incoming mail is so fast that the verification codes are already there before I can alt tab over.

I'm in the same boat. I think part of that is Proton is spread across a huge suite of products and features, whereas Fastmail is specialised in one.

		It feels like Proton is trying to build a solid Europe-based alternative to Microsoft 365, which is necessary but also very ambitious and expensive.

Same here, I've found too many bugs in Proton's email client and instead of fixing them they just release new products. FastMail support has been great, I think the developers themselves reply (some of the?) emails, going into technical details and being actually helpful.

		> FastMail support has been great Seconded, failing only when up against tricky issues like insecurity of their so-called secure Masked Email.

I may be in the same boat.

Is Fastmail an US company though?

		They solely use US servers [1] and don't have plans to offer EU or any non-US servers though. [1] https://old.reddit.com/r/fastmail/comments/1jbryai/european_...
