Fastmail – Email & Calendar

I got a recommedation on Fastmail and started to use it about a year ago. Now I actually have three accounts and am planning to move all my email activities to it. I’ve thanked the person who did the recommending about three times already, because Fastmail changed the way I use email. Here’s a few characteristics and my impressions: Efficient and professional. Intuitive and easy to use. Very reliable. Safe. High quality. Cost-effective. Friendly. Forget the free emails. If you need an email in your life, this is the way to go!

Even though it is a paid service the price of 5 USD per month is not bad at all when it comes to the usability of Fastmails service. There’s so much control that it can be startling at first but once you get past the learning curve you’ve got a whole new world at your hands. Customization options are amazing and the best part is that you’ve got infinite aliases which is an amazing privacy feature. One negative thing that I’ve noticed is that there is no offline access which can sometimes hinder your work. I’d love to see offline caching implemented so I could work on a draft and send it later when I have access to internet again. It would be helpful on as an example long flights where there’s nothing else to do but work.

I’ve had several mail services and the service is very good thus far for what I’m looking for. The app though on iPadOS giving me the option to be in Desktop view with a complete sidebar really impressed me, every other service treats iPad like a mobile device still. THANK YOU for giving us this feature (amongst other things!)

They fired many US employees because they were in a union. This company should not exist anymore.

I like Fastmail the company, but this app constantly has issues. I have to frequently reset it because it only loads a blank page. Today it isn’t loading anything at all, so I can’t check my email on mobile.

YO this app has been around since 2014? This is a paid subscription service that I have been a customer of, for years now. In 10 years you couldn’t make a native app? We’re stuck forever with this web app, seriously? Why can we not get a native app already? I don’t understand this. How many free email apps are out there, and meanwhile an ostensibly profitable SAAS business cannot muster the resources to make a native iOS/iPadOS app (MacOS would be sweet, too) that has offline support and keyboard support. Instead, I’m stuck with mail.app and its broken email follow up reminders that I can’t turn off for the love of all that is holy. Please make us an app.

Everytime I go to use this app I have to force kill it first and the. It will load. It’s been months if not over a year and still experiences this issue

I love Fastmail as my email provider, but I just don’t understand how after all these years they still can’t fix the app. 99% of the time you need to force close the app and relaunch to make it work.

I am a relatively new user of Fastmail but thus far I haven't experienced the problems nor dislikes mentioned in the negative reviews. No bugs. Fast, simple, user-friendliness exceeds my expectations, so easy to migrate Gmail, iCloud, and Outlook accounts.

Guys fix your app it’s a paid service for gods sake. Half the time when opening a message from a notif, you get a blank screen. When foregrounding by tapping on app icon… blank screen. Doesn’t cache anything offline. Unreal really.
