From that thread 9 months ago, who goes on to complain about not having post mortems sent to him via Twitter.
I've been using Fastmail since 2014 and can't remember a time I couldn't log in and access my email. I'm sure the service has gone down in the past 7 years, but I can't tell any difference from Fastmail's uptime vs Microsoft's for Outlook 365 and Google's for GMail.
I just read some emails before opening HN and seeing this, in fact. Their caching works well enough that I didn't even know they were down. Now it's showing that it can't connect to the server. Well done, Team Fastmail--that's pretty slick.
- BitAstronaut 5y agoYeah, I haven't noticed any outages. Of course that doesn't mean they don't exist, but it has had zero impact on me.
- berkut 5y agoOut of interest, when you say 'their caching', what do you mean? One of my annoyances with their iOS app is it doesn't support offline mode which is fairly annoying...
