No, Fastmail is superior in concept, feature set and execution which makes it a better value for the price.
Information organization isn’t something a mail provider should attempt to solve. A mail provider is a dumb pipe that sends me mail, that’s it. At maximum, a provider can offer features with folders / labels / filters and spam / junk.
Anything that tries to categorize a feed, classify priority or importance, recommend smart replies, etc., is 100% hot garbage for all possible use cases.
