A screenshot of a phishing email disguised as a password expiry notification, displaying an "Auth Error (SERVER-OAUTH-023)" header dated Thursday, April 2, 2026, with a message claiming the password for mailbox cr@crosenthal.com has expired. The email includes a prominent blue "Keep Password" button designed to lure clicks, and uses Fastmail branding at the bottom to add false legitimacy to the fraudulent message. (Description assisted by Claude AI.)

FastMail users be alert: somebody is phishing for FastMail credentials.

I've opened a ticket to report this.

#fastmail

So today I've decided to switch my email provider to #Fastmail. Have to say I'm impressed with it so far. Really snappy.

Why businesses are switching to Fastmail Better email for small businesses. Privacy, reliability, and control.

Your business deserves email that works for you, not one that scans your communications to sell you things.

Fastmail costs money because quality costs money. Your business is worth it. 📬

On est en 2026 et je me demande s’il est possible de synchroniser mes contacts entre deux services !!! 🤔🤔

En deux mots, j’ai mes emails chez #Fastmail (ça pourrait être n’importe quel autre service) et j’ai mes données chez #Nextcloud, y compris mes contacts.

J’ai déjà synchronisé Nextcloud […]

I've been working on a Fastmail Safari Extension for iOS in my free time. It lets you create and select masked emails on the page you're on via the Fastmail API. Think "Hide My Email" on iCloud, but for Fastmail users.

There are a few similar apps on the […]

That is very expensive for email… $10/month/user?! I thought #fastmail prices for $5/month/user was pricey!

#selfhosting email needs to be a thing again.

#Fastmail has a doc re: setting up MX records on #Cloudflare, but I'm concerned w/the sequence/timing of steps, especially considering transfers from Hover take a week.

I feel like the minor savings of transferring to Cloudflare may not be worth the headache. #DNS

2/2

Anyone have experience transferring a domain with #Fastmail email to #Cloudflare?

The domain is registered with Hover and uses Fastmail's name servers.

If I transfer the domain to Cloudflare, I am required to use their name servers.

SEHR happy mit dem Umzug zu #Fastmail !

GMail ist *komplett* importiert worden, incl. Labels, Kontakten und Kalender, und wird kontinuierlich upgedatet, falls etwas Neues reinkommt.

Gerade testweise eine meiner Domains angekllemmt - Kinderspiel, 2 Minuten später kamen alle Mails an!

Mit dem neuen Jahr habe ich mich auch endgültig von allen möglichen #Noteapps verabschiedet.
Geheimnisse sind im #passwortmanager
Schreibnotizen sind eigene Papyrusdokumente im jeweiligen Schreibprojekt und Alltagsnotizen fließen jetzt in die Notizfunktion von #fastmail

huh, so I never use Dark Mode usually, and so I never noticed that #FastMail has this cozy frame around everything. I like that

In #HeyEmail, I was lulled into rarely unsubscribing. In #Fastmail, I unsubscribe right away.

By the way: switching to #Fastmail, including making my email address use my own domain and importing all my old email from #HeyEmail #Hey was quick, easy, and in the end cost something like 40% less. Of course I don’t know yet how much I will enjoy using the interface; but everything I’ve done […]

I really liked #HeyEmail #Hey. It fit me very well. But at a fundamental level #DHH’s values differ from mine; and in a way that pretty much means I have to switch. So, #Fastmail, here I come.
