Description:
Have a look if you do not use this service and you want to know what it can do for you. Over the years it kept improving and now it is very powerful
For iOS and Android there are native clients, but not for macOS. The web interface used by Fastmail is excellent. The big thing missing for me, is that the web interface cannot react like a native mail application. It can, for example, not handle email links. When you click on such a link it is the macOS Mail application that opens. That is not what we want.
Default email client
As FMail is a native macOS email client, it handles email links from other programs/documents.
Be sure to set FMail as default email client.
FMail will notify you when it is not the default email client.
Notifications
Notifies you when new mail arrives. Choose the notification sound and select if you want to see the number of unread emails for the Inbox only or for all folders.
Dock Icon
The Dock icon can show you the number of unread emails. You can set this for the emails in the Inbox or in all relevant folders.
Run in the background
FMail can run as background application with only a Status Bar menu. It is possible to open FMail via a global shortcut key or from the Status Menu.
Handy: In the Preferences you can define that the FMail window closes when it loses focus.
Preferences
You can set FMail to your liking in the Preferences (⌘,).
Let FMail work the way you want.
Set FMail to listen for keyboard shortcuts FastMail does not have:
Use the up/down arrow keys to loop over your emails, contacts and more. With the left/right arrow keys you can switch fast between email - contacts - calendar.
Secure
Apple wants to keep all software on your computer safe.
Therefore Apple wants that applications are Notarized and Sandboxed. So FMail is notarized and sandboxed
FMail is written in Swift, a safe modern language.
Another benefit from not running Fastmail in your browser is that FMail protects you from cross-website trackers.
