My experience:
The current interface is slower, in particular when you hit reply on a message with one or more attachments, and I have had frequent instances of it hanging when I hit SEND. Showing new mail automatically isn't that big a deal. For most of the last 15 years we had a superb 3rd party notification tool, FastCheck, that hasn't been surpassed in my opinion; currently I use a gmail (IMAP) notifier (with Fastmail), and also different sounds for different accounts/folder on my phone.
I've traveled in places with limited connectivity a good deal over the time I've been using Fastmail and have a good idea what works and what doesn't. The Classic UI was usable when nothing else would load. The new one isn't close and it has bugs in it.
