"If you are building a product, please don't do a mac-only release" See, that's why it would be web-based, to not tie it down to any OS. I'm held tight in the Apple ecosystem and I'm actively looking for web-ba

I agree that all web-based mail clients are pretty low. Gmail/Outlook/other clearly-developed alternatives are good, but they also have native counterparts Given a high-quality (good UX, etc.) web-based client would be available,

Would you use a web-based email client where, with one login, you can access all three addresses? Not in a unified inbox, but have them as separates. Say the "cmd+1" keyboard shortcut is instantly switching to address #1, cmd +2 i

Oh? I assumed web-based email is superior to a client installed on your machine since it's... in the cloud as opposed to local. I can see you're not thinking of it that way. What's your underlying thought on web-based email v

Are you using Gmail? I did try that personally but the fact that it was POP3 and not IMAP put me off... I believe they do that because they sell G Suite and you'd have to get that if you'd want IMAP and easy-switch

When you're on a computer, do you access all these individually from the browser? If you'd switch your phone, does the need to sync the display names and signatures bother you? That, and the need to log in manually to all these 6

So how many do email addresses would you need to access if, say, you're on a vacation and you're using the hotel iMacs (or whatever desktops they have there). When you get a new phone/laptop/work computer/etc, do yo

Haha, no worry, nothing sounded arrogant. Instead of doing all that stuff and getting your hands dirty with AWS and .tar .gz etc., would you use a web-based email client where, with one login, you can access to all your email addresses? Not

If you switch devices, do you just login with Fastmail once and everything is synced? Or do you have to sync details such as display name+signatures again?

Thanks for clarifying everything — because of the info you've given me, I can ask you a question that would usually come after some back-and-forth: Would you use a web-based email client where, with one login, you can access the releva

You've given me a lot of info (thanks for that) so I can ask you a question that would usually come "down the line". Especially since you're cross-platform (mac mini, windows, iphone), would you use a web-based email cli

You're the perfect person I can asked an "advanced" question since you're using a unified inbox. Would you see an improvement in having a web-based mail client where, with one login, you can access and quickly switch bet

So you're mainly using... 2 to 4 if I counted that right? What do you do when you get a new device? Do you have to sync the signatures and display names again manually?

by chdaniel 7y ago
If you change devices or get a new device, do you need to set everything you've set up in Heirloom again? Or it's all synced?

by chdaniel 7y ago
What do you do if you get a new device? Is it painful to set these things up across your devices? They'd need to have the same signature, display name etc.

If you get a new device, do you just login with your fastmail.com and everything is synced (display names, signatures etc) or do you need to set up these things again?

I see. How do you manage access them? Mail client or browser?

When you switch devices, do you set these addresses up all over again? How do you deal with syncing display names, signatures etc, if so?

If you say open-source I believe it's safe to assume it's a fully free helpdesk system, right? So do you access this system through the browser? If you change the device, there's no initial time investment to set all these up

Wow, that's interesting. If you change your device (phone/tablet/desktop/laptop), do you have to set them all up again? Set them all up = log in, sync signatures, display name etc. How do you access these email addresses

When you say email provider, is that an Exchange account? Or just roundcube/free thing from your custom domain? What do you use to read/send emails? And did I get it right that you only have two now i.e. custom domain and the gmai
