If you go make an API key in Fastmail (Settings -> Password & Security -> API tokens), you'll see that it's prefixed very similarly to that (e.g. `fmo1-`) for this very reason! (There are some other neat things about our

This is because you have forgotten to return a `Vary: Origin` header in the response. If you don’t do this, caches will presume the response is the same regardless of the Origin header in the request and so you will get the bug you describe

While it's not built in, this is totally solvable in a performant way on the web. Fastmail's web UI lazy loads in mailbox lists of messages (which for some users can be 1,000,000+ items long). The scrollbar is correct and you can

You can buy more storage at Fastmail: it's the same cost as an extra user to add the same amount of storage. e.g. for a Professional account, you can add an extra 100 GB storage for an extra $9/month. Gmail reports a combined stor
