  1. Ah, Fastmail's #pricing fiasco: where they think adding more dollar signs makes their app magically better 🤦‍♂️. With a labyrinth of menus and an exodus guide from every email provider known to man, they're basically the Indiana Jones of email—minus the adventure 🕵️‍♂️📧.

  6. Data resilience at Fastmail comes down to a principle our CEO, Bron Gondwana, wrote down over ten years ago. The primary copy is gold. Back it up, replicate it. Principles rarely change, and that one has not.

    In April it got tested. A bug wiped mailboxes for 8 accounts. Backups brought all of it back, down to 5 sent emails recovered from temporary files inside Cyrus. The write-up covers what broke, PR numbers and all.

  11. Dear fellow #Fastmail users: if you ever need to remove an email folder you no longer want, please learn from my suffering.

    Do it through Fastmail’s web interface rather than Outlook Classic. That way, you can be certain the folder in focus is actually the one you intend to remove.

    And be very sure before you do. Unlike some email services, which place a discarded folder under Deleted Items or Trash so you can recover it if you change your mind, Fastmail offers no such safety net.

    Once you confirm, that folder and its contents are **gone for good**.

    Ask me how I learned this particular lesson. 😂

  16. I really don't care that #Fastmail isn't the perfect 100% EU-sovereign mail solution compared to Gmail.

    It's stable, it's got a great interface, it's got an EU datacenter, and IT'S NOT GOOGLE.

  21. I'm gradually coming to the conclusion that to keep #fastmail and #gmail semi in sync, I'm going to have to write something. Ugh.

    Imapsync does part of the job, but has limitations. Pimsync does part of the job but has limitations. Native calendar syncing works decent, but may as well do that since it's simpler than email and contacts!

    Thankfully there looks to be decent #jmap / #imap / #caldav modules for #golang I can use, but ugh.

  26. 🫤 I wish the #Fastmail desktop client had a built-in RSS reader, and XMPP client, but I’ve been told to stop having such lofty dreams.

  33. Oh wow, #Fastmail is finally working on solving their US-dependency issue! Redundancies will still be hosted in the US for now until they've got a second data center location in the EU, but this is fantastic news.

  43. While futzing around with my mailbox (see other post about #gmail / #fastmail ) I ran across a message from 10+ years ago, when I was debating if I should take a new job with #nvidia or not. The email begins:

    "This is Jensen Huang. I am the CEO of NVIDIA."

    I can't imagine he starts out external emails like that anymore! Crazy times.
