Because they're managed and billed separately, they can't be transferred. A FastMail account cannot be converted into a Pobox account and vice-versa. To do what you want, you will need to use the mail migration tool from your Pobox account to migrate the data from your FM account into it. Your files will need to be moved manually. Once you've done that, you can close your FM account. Of course, you can't use an @fastmail.com (or any FastMail domains) with your Pobox account, or vice-versa. If you have your own domain on your FastMail account, you'll have to transfer that to use Pobox DNS (MyPobox) or a third-party DNS host. Yes, I recognise that this seems very roundabout considering that FastMail and Pobox Mailstore accounts are all now stored in the same system. But account management and billing is actually the more important thing here, and those aren't unified in any useful way yet. We have had preliminary discussions about what we might do here in the future to consolidate these but we have no concrete plans yet. So for the moment, treat your FastMail and Pobox accounts as separate things that just happen to have the same UI and it should hopefully be a bit less confusing |

Like I said, we're reviewing file storage features at the moment, and we'll include similar Pobox features in that. |

Perhaps I misunderstood the context here, but why would you want any alias to be able to log into the system? It's a great security feature that only your primary address can log in, it stops login attacks based on address harvesting so long as you never use your primary for sending any email.

notification from pobox
I didn't get the email
Only reason I know about move for Mailstore customers is google and this site! I have both FM and Pobox Mailstore. Overkill I know. Just the Pobox.com append subject etc is the killer feature (use with evernote so each notebook has its own mail address in effect) Anyone know when pobox and fastmail will merge completely? |

Would iOS push mail work with Pobox accounts with the same manner as with FM?
