I’m trying out Fastmail, to replace legacy Google Apps that I use for some of my domains. If you use(d) Fastmail, do you use their web / mobile apps or just connect your regular Mail.app or other client of choice?

@jacob I’ve ended up just using their web / mobile. Neither are ideal, but after using them for a couple months I’m mostly adapted. I use the web in a Fluid instance. Prior on Gmail I used web and the Gmail mobile app. I’ve never jived well with a third-part mail apps it seems.
@jacob Their app, and webview. I did connect a couple of apps, but their own apps work nicely, and I’m very used to them by now.
@jacob mobile app and web
@jacob i'm Out here wondering why we can't just import a .mbox into Mail.app anymore and have to sign in first. Horribly restrictive app from apple
@jacob I usually use the official app, which is a web app view. I go this route more often since it’s always current. Fastmail only allows fetching of sub-folders once an hour and I use a lot of filtering into those folders to keep my inbox clean.
@jacob I use their apps but you can use your client of choice if you need additional features.
@toddgrotenhuis thank you. Interesting, you can create a screener like rule? For first-time-seen senders?
@jacob what I did is made a rule that if the sender is not in my contacts, then the email goes to a folder called “screener”.
When I review that folder, I add them to my contacts or clean them out (mark as spam, report phishing, and/or block sender). If I’m in a hurry I just delete them.
