At first, I thought this was a banner to raise awareness on net neutrality.
- y4mi 9y agoi'm guessing their marketing people used their own static website service to host the site, which is rate-limited by default... and they probably forgot to disable the limit for it. would not surprise me the least from the last 12 month of service i've got from them. everything they offer is at best usable, slightly lacking would be the honest opinion though. i.e. 1. 25GB Cloud Storage. can only be accessed from the browser. 2. Mail sorting rules can only be applied when the mail first comes onto the server, applying them to emails already received is impossible. 3. Marking mails read on their own (not a third party!) app keeps them unread on the web interface. The Web app is not a native application. I'm still amazed how the managed that.

- y4mi 9y agothats good to know, i wasn't aware of that. the named problems were just examples though... there are sadly others. * Right-click isnt implemented. * Switching to their embedded DNS service pushes your whois information to the whole web (pretty much every other dns service hides it behind anonymized contact information) * adding external mail servers (i.e. fetching mails from old gmail or hotmail.com account) constantly gets you 'the target mail server was unresponsive' messages. Its good that they're warning about incorrect information, but it does get old if it happens only once every few days on one refresh. ... and there are so many more examples
- chrismorgan 9y ago> Switching to their embedded DNS service pushes your whois information to the whole web Whois and DNS are two different things; whois information comes from the registrar; DNS providers have no control over whois records.

- nmjenkins 9y agoWell you must have updated the whois data or protection options with your domain registrar at the same time, whether intentionally or not. FastMail is just hosting the DNS. It cannot have any effect on your whois data.
- abrowne 9y agoAnecdote vs anecdote, I've had my account connected to a Gmail account for email and two others for calendars for over a year, and the only errors I've received were when I changed my account passwords and didn't update them in FastMail.
- dividuum 9y ago3) That's not true. I'm using their Android app and marking any mail read/unread is instantly replicated to the open web interface on my desktop machine and vice versa.
