On: Moving 12 years of email from GMail to FastMail

Unfortunately I can migrate my email to FastMail, but years worth of paid Android apps will be lost if I migrate away from my Google Apps for Work account.

No need to. You can have a different email account than Google account on your Android devices.

Android allows you to have almost unlimited accounts fort unlimited things, and you can yourself control what gets synched for each individual account.

Just keep using the old Google Account for play services and the like and your new email account for fastmail email.

Android is nice that way.

Unfortunately that requires me to keep paying $6AUD/month for Google Apps. That may be the way to go, ultimately.

Fair enough. I have a grandfathered Google Apps account which costs me zilch and nada, so it's easy to forget that for other people it costs money.

You can use Fastmail for email and still keep your Google Apps account, that's what I've done it seems fine.
