    Fast Mail is a back to basics interface doesn't have sluggishness issues. (eg. Fastmail)The new interface that is arriving is quite modern but keeps things quite simple.I've found it to be reliable over the last 8 years. In general this is a good and clean interface. I have considered moving to gmail because of the many megabytes, but then I am so used to the way everything works here.When browsing from one email to another, they have a good system to navigating to the next or previous email while at the same time, keeping or deleting the email you are now viewing.I think if you are willing to pay 5 or 15 dollars a year, then it is worth it, otherwise the 10MB storage is a little restrictive when someone sends you a big attachment. Free account doesn't have much storage.fastmail.fm is kind of hard for people to remember, because of the .fm.I recommend going with an alternative like fastmail.com.au for australia, or fastmail.us for USA.

    All things considered, fastmail.fm is the best among the choices I've been able to try and that's quite a few, including "free" and "for a fee" services. With regards to the enhanced service, The Web client is responsive and easy to use. In many cases, I've been able to recover an e-mail in preparation after I thought I had lost it. I'm now committed to bring both of those e-mail categories to fastmail.fm when my runbox.com subscription runs out because, as limited as searching is in fastmail.fm ...

    I've stuck with www.fastmail.fm now for more almost 8 years. I open other accounts but keep coming back to this one. Its simple, user-friendly, reliable, easy to search and organise, effective spam protection.

    Rich quick links & features which does multiple tasks in just a clink, Speed, features like appending notes from Notepad in an email, appending files from Internal storage in an email.
    Very much recommended once Storage Space is increased for free accounts

    I paid for full service so I could send outgoing emails via outlook, but then couldn't get Outlook to talk to their server to send outgoing messages - in effect the Fastmail server was not recognizing me as a full subscriber and treating me like I hadn't paid. So I tried to get customer support - and guess what - every email I sent bounced (with a message pointing me to the FAQs saying if I wanted such support I had to upgrade to full). I ran an account verification - they said I had full. Thei ...

    I signed up to fastmail a while back when I read a review.
    Recently moved my main address to fastmail and upgrade as did not want any advertising which BT yahoo plastered all over their site. My explorer pro being unable to block when BT started sending flash.

    Very happy with fastmail. Learning new things as I go along. The poll box excellent. Fast, clean, tidy and good email addresses available.

    Top marks so far!

    Am thinking of moving to another provider as you can get more space for free but am loathe to leave fastmail as I have always been happy with this site.

    I've had this account for nearly 2 years and in that time there has been periodic downtime. Worryingly, I have not been able to get into my account for 3 days due to a disk failure on the server my account is on and they don't know when it will be up and running again. This has prompted me to write a review because I have come to the conclusion that the claims made by the company (fast mail) are not justified.

    Fastmail has been unreliable in recent months. Emails bounce back, and the server is frequently down. Support staff are slow to respond. I strongly reccomend trying another service until Fastmail resolves the reliability issues.

    I first signed up with Fastmail.fm (www.fastmail.fm) about 1 and a half years ago under the Guest account and I liked it. A few days later, I payed $19.95 for a YEAR and got 600MB of storage space, 900MB of bandwidth, 3 aliases, virus checker, spam filter, and tons of other features. When signing up you can choose between about 100 different domain names, so it doesn't have to be blah@fastmail.fm, you can choose blah@mailbolt.com etc...

    Fastmail is very fast and always reliable, I have had n ...

    Before signing up to Flashmail I had a period of moving ISPs a lot, and needed a way of keeping one email address that wouldn't change. I had Hotmail and Yahoo accounts but these were virtually unusable because of spam and not very pleasant to use on a daily basis because of messy site design. I gave a few other providers a try, and Fastmail were the unchallenged best.

    The free account comes with a few caveats, such as one-line text ads in outgoing mail and no SMTP access. Your mailbox is li ...
