I've tried the ajax interface full time for a couple of months now, and I'm missing the old compose window.
I guess I'm one of the 3% of Fastmail users that prefer the classic interface. I and others here are 'power users who are more concerned with functionality than aesthetics.' I like beautiful things and beautiful web apps, but when they restrict me, I have to think again about using them.
My issue, as has already been discussed on this thread, is the ajax compose editor. I took a bunch of screen-shots to illustrate my point, but after reading this entire thread, I can see this would not change anyone's mind.

So! What do do. Some ideas:
- Find another email provider that has licensed Fastmail's classic interface (or similar).
- Learn CSS to expert level, install Stylish, and hack away at it.
- Install Greasemonkey and likewise hack away.
- Sit and steam, (and after some time)forget about my issues, and try to adjust.
- Build my own webmail interface hosted on my own server, just to prove I can. :-)
- Find an IMAP client that doesn't so much make me want to puke.
That's about all I can think of.
all the best,

PS:
Thislooks pretty close to the current Fastmail compose.
