13 I refuse to use Gmail but I have trusted FastMail for about 13 years,
14 though I do pay them for the privilege. As they say, if you aren't
15 paying for the product then you are the product. Despite my preference
16 for FastMail, I don't forward my Gentoo mail and connect using IMAP
17 directly. I am totally fine with that setup. The spam is a tad annoying
18 but it's not reached intolerable levels for me and I do use procmail,
19 which helps a little.
