Sure, if you really want to, you connect whatever AI you like: https://www.fastmail.com/blog/an-mcp-server-for-fastmail/ – but there's no LLM built in to Fastmail itself; it's a personal choice.

Fastmail’s been around since 1999. (That’s 5 years older than Gmail…). It’s profitable and employee owned, not VC funded. The senior staff have all been working on it for over 15 years. Anything can happen of course, but you’ll be hard pres

No final decision, but possibly not. Given Apple are dropping support for x86 Macs next year, it's unlikely to be something we could support for the long term.

The desktop app will automatically pull from Gmail when you refresh the folder/label it fetches into, just like on the web.

I'm sorry you feel like this, but it absolutely doesn't mean that. I believe we probably devote more engineering resources to open standards development than any other company, with significant resources given to the mailmaint, ca

No product plans to announce here at the moment, sorry, but we're aware there are a bunch of people that would like this.

The main thing is better integration with the OS. So no browser chrome (even as a PWA, the browser adds buttons or a toolbar over the top of the app), integration with the Mac menu bar, native context menus, the OS semi-transparent backgrou

In Settings -> Mail Preferences you can choose to: * Show images by default for everyone (the images are always proxied via our CDN, so your IP is never leaked to the sender). * Show images for contacts by default. You can easily add new

No, CRDTs wouldn’t be useful right for what we currently do. If we ever wanted collaborative text editing for something then we’d use them for sure.

Or you could … just build it directly on indexedDB. That's what we did for our offline support at Fastmail, with just a small wrapper function to make the API promise based: https://www.fastmail.com/blog/offline-ar
