#Fastmail nooooo
Do more with your email
You can now choose to bring your Fastmail data into Claude, ChatGPT, or any other AI client that speaks MCP (Model Context Protocol).
Und es ist mal wieder #fastmail die etwas richtig implementieren: AI.
Nein, du wirst nicht durch neue Funktionen von AI mit mehr Geld zugeschissen.
Du bekommst einfach als opt-in einen MCP der dann von der AI deiner Wahl befummelt werden darf.
That's it.

I've been using #Fastmail and it's fine, but: I have 200k emails from many years, and it's slow to open mails or load the main screen.
What are the maximum amount of emails people have where it's still snappy?
Open standards run the inbox, and most people never have to think about them: SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and now BIMI.
As AI starts reading and actioning our mail, knowing where a message truly came from matters more. Authentication confirms identity, not intent, but it makes impersonation costlier.
And for the record, we have not put AI inside your inbox. Our MCP server is opt-in, nothing more.
#fastmail would be a better competitor against Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 with a few changes.
1. Give admins control over requiring 2FA for users, as well as which methods of 2FA are allowed.
2. Give admins control over if users can set up account recovery, and what methods they can use if allowed such as not allowing recovery by phone.
It also wouldn’t hurt to fix that moving a message to the spam folder should train the spam filter. https://mastodon.social/@ridogi/114740682281274010
In light of the recent ProtonMail fiasco, I've decided to move to @fastmail because I really just need a Gmail replacement. Since I have my own domain it's been super painless. I also migrated from Proton Pass/Auth and onto @keepassxc / Strongbox. All my passwords and TOTPs transferred right over. I set up PGP keys in Thunderbird if I need to send any encrypted mail. I tried Tuta but it was... clunky to say the least.
Trying #Startmail and the accessibility is far better than #FastMail but it still wraps lines when I compose email on the web. I do use third party email clients but I post to stuff via email, and line wrap causes more headaches than it's worth.
Many have said, but line wrapping is good for folks reading email via TUIs. I have absolutely zero sympathy for the folks that use terminal to read emails and want to have line wrapping. Get a better client because I'm never line wrapping my emails if I can help it.
The interface is far more screen reader friendly! It still has problems, mainly in the compose area. The tutorials, like the encryption tutorials, are the least screen reader friendly because modals are never consistent. I’d suggest reading their much more accessible help articles instead. Even though the help articles don't have useful alt text for the screenshots, you can figure them out by the clear step by step instructions they give you. It allows for custom domains, and creating aliases is far easier than their features text would suggest. I didn't set up email encryption, since I email everyone about my drama filled life and nothing I type needs to be encrypted, yet. In truth, I'm lazy. Besides, if someone really wanted to know it was me, they can always ask the question, what animalistic orgasm noises do you make in bed? Close friends know the answer.
They don't appear to have as many bells and whistles as Fastmail, but I don't need them. even with my praise of the interface, there's something I can't quite put my finger on that left me feeling as if I didn't want to explore the interface the way I explore Fastmail’s features. I didn't want to set it up in my email client of choice, and I was just… a little feeling like, this is it?
But I don't know what else I'm looking for.
Even so, very accessibility friendly and it appears to be a solid choice. I haven't had my test emails go to spam, and everyone I know uses, well, Gmail anyway.
