Fastmail users: The feature of gmail that seems unstoppable to me is server side search. Using an imap client and doing client side searches with indexes just isn't viable anymore on multi-GB mailboxes. Both the web and app versions can "instantly" search all my mail, ever. How does Fastmail compare in regards to that?
- jstayton 10y agoTheir web UI is extremely snappy. Definitely on par with Gmail's web UI, if not faster. I don't have tons of messages in FastMail — so take that into consideration — but their web UI search seems very quick as well. I haven't used their mobile app, so I can't speak to that.
- lorenzhs 10y agoIt's very good. I have ~3GB of email in tens of thousands of messages, about a decade's worth, in my FastMail account. Searching through all of that takes only a second. See https://www.fastmail.com/help/receive/search.html https://www.fastmail.com/help/receive/search.html for what the search can do.
