My own experience of migrating my calendars and contacts from iCloud to Fastmail went seamlessly. What's more, the user experience on my iPhone went pretty much unchanged, including in Apple's own Calendar and Contacts apps, which has been very nice. Would recommend!

(It's worth noting for the privacy conscious that Australia, where Fastmail is based, has a truly terrible set of laws when it comes to government snooping, so if your threat model includes the Australian government, probably best to avoid Fastmail.)

IIRC, Australia also shares data with the US, UK, Canada and New Zealand.

And Australia is Five Eyes, which means FBI/DHS/DEA/ATF all have warrantless access to everything in Fastmail via FAA702.

Seems to be a useful summary of 702 from a USA perspective: https://cdt.org/insights/section-702-what-it-is-how-it-works...

This is out of date. We know now from multiple different sources that 702 is routinely used illegally to spy on US persons as well.

It has also regularly been renewed and is still in full effect, and appears that it will remain so in perpetuity. It is the #1 most used source in US intelligence gathering.
