I'd love to use fastmail, but at least when I last tried it (two years ago) at least 1/10 messages I sent just vanished. Never went to my sent folder, never got delivered.
And today, you tell me to go to beta.fastmail.fm ... a site that looks like this: http://o7.no/IPvfHo
Note broken images, missing Latest News, and they can't even spell Fastmail correctly (see below "Login to your account"). This does not inspire confidence.

Their beta front page has been like that since forever and I'm not sure why it hasn't been fixed. Regardless of such blunder, I've been using FastMail reliably for almost two years and the only problem I've ever had was when DynDNS decided to no longer response to +recurse query (which they fixed it pretty quickly, within 12 hours, faster than it takes DynDNS Support to even response).
[Off topic: I think FastMail support system is pretty lame; despite being an email service, the only way to contact their support is via... web interface. They have few weird quirk like this but it's not something I couldn't live with.]

Looks like those image urls resolve on the fastmail.fm domain, but not the beta.fastmail.fm domain:
https://beta.fastmail.fm/pages/fastmail/images/fmlogo_horiz_...
vs.
https://fastmail.fm/pages/fastmail/images/fmlogo_horiz_320.p...
Their new web interface currently in beta at https://beta.fastmail.fm/ is very nice. I've been using it (the new interface) for few months and don't feel like I want to go back to Gmail at all. (Then again I don't use labels in Gmail, so your mileage may vary.)
