FastMail.FM

FastMail.FM is an e-mail service offered by the Messaging Engine company of Parkville, Victoria, Australia. Its servers are located in New York City with a backup in Norway.

History

The provider's sole product line remained email services (and included accessories), until its 2010 purchase by Opera Software.

When first established in 1999, the service was intended to differentiate itself through providing features that were not yet available from other market players. Early on, this included the ease and speed of e-mail transport and access, personalities and IMAPand SSL support, and an independent public forum and wiki among user support options. Over the years, these features became commonplace, but features such as WebDAV, secure LDAP, opportunistic inter-server encryption, reliability via minimization of single points of failure, and highly customizable filtering via Sieve are current differentiators, and other enhancements typically appear on pace with the market.

Technology

The site developers are among the most active contributors to the widely-used Cyrus IMAP open source software project and include the lead developer and maintainer of Perl module Mail:IMAPTalk.

FastMail.FM offers free and paid e-mail accounts for individuals and organizational accounts, with varying service levels and prices.
