Fastmail offers Secure Webmail, which was very rare at first.

Wow, FastMail is popular among travel guide writers and academics. A helluvalot of researchers publish academic papers listing an @fastmail.fm address. DONE. --Elvey (talk) 07:16, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Any way for users to report bugs?

Three months ago the only working version of FastMail was closed, switching all users to the new system. But the new system has never worked and still doesn't work. In particular, there is no way to move a message to another folder. Attempt to move a message by checking boxes of messages then clicking arrow button next to destination folder: Link that you currently have selected

  Linkname: «
    Method: POST
   Enctype: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
    Action: https : // www.fastmail.fm / html / ?u=2ddc41b1

but when I click on that, it tells me:

  Apparently you managed to submit a form, but no button was pressed.
  Some browsers allow this to happen if you hit the 'Enter' key in
  certain places. Since I don't know exactly what action to perform, I'll      
  try and leave you on the same screen, and please try clicking a button.      
  If you get this message, even though you definitely clicked a button,
  we'd appreciate it if you could send a bug report to detailing your OS,      
  browser and version, and as much detail as possible about what screen
  you were on, what you were doing, etc. Thankyou.

Bugs are supposed to be reported to this forum: http: // www.emaildiscussions.com / forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=28 but going to that URL gives me:

                                                          406 Not Acceptable
                                Not Acceptable
  An appropriate representation of the requested resource
  /forumdisplay.php could not be found on this server.
  Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use
  an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I have no idea what to make of your request. Obviously, this is the wrong place to get support or report bugs. The URL

http://www.emaildiscussions.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=28 works just fine for that. Your version of the URL has spurious spaces.

Your assertion that the old version closed or broken is nonsense, AFAIK. The classic fastmail is still available. Moving messages works just fine for me, in the classic and new interface. (Though the new interface is worse than the old one, IMNSHO.) There's a plethora or support info at

https://www.fastmail.fm/html/?MSignal=Support-**

It sounds like you're a beginner user who needs a lot of hand-holding, in particular, phone support, which fastmail doesn't offer. --Elvey (talk) 23:40, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

New interviews

The following two recent interviews may be interesting as sources: http://rocketship.fm/episodes/ep-79-rob-mueller/ (audio only; 26m59) and http://www.domainsherpa.com/rob-mueller-fastmail-interview/ (video, audio, transcript; 44m55). -- pne (talk) 13:39, 20 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Features

Maybe time to add some more features of FastMail. E.g. they offer more than most of the other mail hosting providers. CardDAV, LDAP, file hosting (accessible via FTP and WebDAV), alternative usernames, etc. See https://www.fastmail.com/help/technical/servernamesandports.html

Moving page from FastMail to Fastmail?

The service changed its logo from "FastMail" to "Fastmail". I'm wondering if we should move the page to match the case. I tried to use "Move" and "DISPLAYTITLE" template but met errors. What is the proper way of doing this? ~wzyboy (talk) 11:39, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I just requested a page move from "FastMail" to "Fastmail". Fturco (talk) 15:53, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 14 April 2020

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Moved b uidhe 16:28, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

FastMail → Fastmail – On June 24, 2019, Fastmail launched refreshed look, with a new logo, app icon, colors, and website. The logo now reads "Fastmail" instead of "FastMail". See this blog article for details. Fturco (talk) 15:52, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support move. By this point, there's no reason to keep the camelcase form. The relative lack of secondary sources mentioning it at all makes it unlikely the camelcase remains common. O.N.R. ^(talk) 15:13, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
