Been playing around a bit with Aqua Mail for my mobile devices, and I've settled on Postbox for my desktop client. Aqua Mail is pretty much infinitely customizable, and Postbox looks really nice for basically using the Thunderbird engine.
Since Gmail is my main email and they offer like 15GB or something of free email storage, I just made all my "local" folders as subfolders of my inbox, uploaded all my saved mail from Fastmail, and then I just subscribe to those folders from my clients. Because of how Gmail organizes things (everything in one big folder, just with labels on them) I made a mistake at first making folders, which messed everything up. As soon as I started making them subfolders, Gmail organized them so they look good on IMAP. As long as I don't open Gmail I'd never really know they were just labels. This is why I liked Fastmail so much - it seemed to 'tame" Gmail.
I think this Aqua Mail / Postbox combo will work fine as a substitute for Fastmail, and I'll just use IMAP clients and cache all my stuff locally.
Looks like keeping my mail account under 1GB all those years on Fastmail was a blessing in disguise. I can basically store copies of all my saved email on each device if I want, since my phone has 64GB of space.
I'll miss Fastmail, but I think I've moved on finally.
