iCloud and Fastmail

Hello everyone, I'm here to hear your thoughts on my current email situation.

- My current email is on iCloud (firstname.surname@me.com)
- I have a Fastmail address (firstname@fastmail.com)

Both are quite good looking addresses.

I'm considering to move completely to Fastmail (mail, contacts, calendar) and set a forwarding iCloud > Fastmail, but:

- Some services may still remain in iCloud, e.g. Drive.
- I like that iCloud is 'forever' - no payment required, no minimum access, no expiration date
- I'm an Apple user (iPhone, iPad, Macbook) and iCloud works really well - I like that is all integrated in 1 service (drive, contacts, calendar, mail). I'm also a minimalist and don't like to have many separate services.

I like Fastmail service and interface, but if I stop paying I would simply loose everything - I don't feel very safe.

What do you guys think?

Thank you and happy new year!

I am of the divide and rule principle.
Mail, contacts, calender: Google (forwarding from Pobox).
Files: Apple (iCloud).
Photos: Yahoo (Flickr).

I don't particularly like Google and would like to use their services as little as possible - I have an old gmail address that forwards to my icloud.

After the horror stories of Yahoo accounts that were hacked in large numbers, do you still trust Flickr enough to store your photos? After all, Flickr is property of Yahoo and in fact a Yahoo service/product (even when you don't need a Yahoo email address to sign up)
