(I work for Fastmail). That sounds odd – have you contacted our support team so we can look into it? https://www.fastmail.com/support/

Offline support was added in August last year: https://www.fastmail.com/blog/fastmail-works-offline/

Fastmail’s been around since 1999. (That’s 5 years older than Gmail…). It’s profitable and employee owned, not VC funded. The senior staff have all been working on it for over 15 y…

Fastmail does not run on AWS: https://www.fastmail.com/blog/why-we-use-our-own-hardware/

No final decision, but possibly not. Given Apple are dropping support for x86 Macs next year, it's unlikely to be something we could support for the long term.

The desktop app will automatically pull from Gmail when you refresh the folder/label it fetches into, just like on the web.

I'm sorry you feel like this, but it absolutely doesn't mean that. I believe we probably devote more engineering resources to open standards development than any other company, wit…

No product plans to announce here at the moment, sorry, but we're aware there are a bunch of people that would like this.

The main thing is better integration with the OS. So no browser chrome (even as a PWA, the browser adds buttons or a toolbar over the top of the app), integration with the Mac menu…

> Just to be clear, does this mean the app is mainly reusing the already existing codebase of the web-app? Yes. > How much additional work went into the desktop-app? About 4 months…

In Settings -> Mail Preferences you can choose to: * Show images by default for everyone (the images are always proxied via our CDN, so your IP is never leaked to the sender). * Sh…

Next day or two is my best understanding, we're just getting it onto Flathub to handle app updates.

Chief Product Officer of Fastmail here. I see a lot of comments here from people that don't appear to have actually tried using the app, which is a little disappointing; don't knoc…

No, CRDTs wouldn’t be useful right for what we currently do. If we ever wanted collaborative text editing for something then we’d use them for sure.

Or you could … just build it directly on indexedDB. That's what we did for our offline support at Fastmail, with just a small wrapper function to make the API promise based: https:…

Support is coming soon, available now in public beta: https://www.fastmail.com/blog/offline-in-beta/

A user is not the same as an email address! You can have up to 100 domains and (with wildcard aliases) basically unlimited addresses with a single user at Fastmail - you just pay p…

The short answer is our new billing platform (Paddle), which all new users are on and we're moving everyone to, doesn't support it. (We're moving from a home-grown billing solution…

(Chief Product Officer at Fastmail here.) Once your next step is not necessarily a password, having just the single username input up front becomes necessary to avoid confusion. To…
