Delay in forwarding from Gmail?

Have been using Gmail since it came out (I was one of those who got the 'invite' back when they started. A few years later, after they removed the "Don't be evil" from their mission and I became the product, I realized that was a mistake. I'm now pivoting to Fastmail - I registered a personal domain solely for email usage this morning, then signed up for Fastmail, added the domain name servers to my registrar to point the domain to Fastmail's servers, and then performed the migration of my Gmail account. All went pretty smoothly, though I decided to take the time to reorganize/structure my folders. That was very clunky using the Folder management drag/drop in Fastmail. But since it's a one time thing it's no big deal.

What has me concerned though -
About 15 minutes ago I checked my Gmail inbox using Gmail in browser and I had 4 new emails. I then compared to Fastmail. Those 4 new emails had not come through to Fastmail until about an hour later.

Attached images comparing the time difference. This seems unacceptable to me. Am I missing something? Why such a long delay?

I did just send an email to my new email address from a work email and it was received right away. So it's workign as expected there, just not when an email is forwarded from Gmail - it's very slow.

Master Bath Design Help

Want to do a low budget makeover of this master bathroom. As much as I think there is wasted space that could have been used to make a larger tub/shower corner, I don't want to do any major construction at this point. Currently the shower has some glue up fiberglass sheets. I will rip out the current shower panels and base pan and replace with a shower insert and new shower fixtures. All in all this is what I want to do:

  • Replace existing shower with new insert, likely Delta Classic 500 (just plain white)
  • Replace all hardware throughout the bathroom - towel rack, toilet paper holder, etc.
  • Keep existing vanity/sink and toilet
  • Keep existing tile floor (and scrub it and the grout of course)
  • Open to changing the mirror if a better idea is available
  • New paint
  • The existing shutters on the windows are at least 15 years old; I kind of like them and they keep privacy, but would like ideas to replace

All help is appreciated! Please don't mind the mess. I promise I will clean it first : )
