Is the iOS app necessary/worthwhile? I’ve never thought to use it, just the standard mail app, which does cache.

- leejoramo 7y agoThe Fastmail app is very nice, but not required Using Apple’s iOS apps will give you better integration with the whole Apple ecosystem, Fastmail‘s app has better integration with a few of their specific features The biggest advantage of using Fastmail’s app is that searching emails is MUCH faster and flexible
- wrycoder 7y agoI normally use the iOS Mail app to connect to Fastmail. This allows me to use the very useful VIP “inbox” to filter email. But, the Fastmail web interface also works great in iPhone Safari and provides their search facility. On my Air or Linux workstations, I always use the Fastmail web interface, it’s better than a mail app, unless I’m doing something specialized - then it’s Mutt or even Gnus. You can be logged into Fastmail from several computers simultaneously and processing email. It’s seamless, there is never a conflict. I believe they use Cyrus IMAP.
