Pay Fastmail and get on with better things you have to do. It's about $40/year to replace what Gmail does. Assuming your time is worth at least that, can you manage your own email server for less than an hour a year?

Where are the server located? Because of the main reason for quitting gmail would certainly be server location vs reaching distance from NSA and Co. At least for me.

Unfortunately in the US.

Note that just because your servers aren't in the US, doesn't mean they're out of reach of the NSA's surveillance apparatus.
