poll time!

I used fastmail.fm till fastmail.net came along.

fastmail.net is the best of the bunch.

Terry · 11 Aug 2010, 09:00 AM

I use fastmail.net also sent.com

Tom Gallagher · 28 Aug 2010, 05:15 AM

I've been using .net since the beginning.

Yep, and the FastMail.net is one of the very popular ones. Do you realize it's "not" on your list of Domains in your Help? I showed 3 missing domains, from a list I try to keep up on the forum, in another post with the fastmail.net one of the missing ones... (you may have discontinued 2 of them???)

Edit: Here's what I think is the 3 missing domains. http://www.emaildiscussions.com/show...444#post502444

Fastmail.net sounds fully okey to me.

But maybe is only for paying members?

I am on a Guest account and have myfastmail.com now.
A bit long my at least is not .fm or .cc or something else
that none of my relatives are used to remember by heart.

Net they maybe would remember but maybe they are so
used to write .com that they would do it automatically.

Everybody here around use hotmail. A bit sad.

Anyway it will not make Opera/Fastmail happy if I change
username as a guest??? Or are Opera less "formal" than FM was?

It amazes me how popular "Hotmail" is. I have a junk mail account that nobody ever asks me to repeat. They always remember "Hotmail" .

Ohhh, it makes a diff if you enter www.fastmail.com vs fastmail.com (they need someone to help them set up decent DNS

)

When I tried it just now, it was the other way around; fastmail.com resolved but www.fastmail.com did not.

Amusingly, in the latter case the first two suggestions Firefox made as to alternate addresses were fastmail.fm and fastmail.co.uk!

looks like Fastweb grabbed a good domain....I wonder how much they paid?

hadaso · 6 Nov 2010, 05:54 AM

Fastmail.com was owned by Fastweb for many many years (at least since March 2000).

Merovingian · 7 Nov 2010, 07:37 PM

stating the obvious, here, but it would really be great if Fastmail could purchase fastmail.com

Why?

Seriously, I wonder how many times a week a fastmail.fm user tries to send mail to something@fastmail.com. I'm sure the logs could answer this.

I know I've done it more than once over the years.

I like their MX record:
...]$ dig +short fastmail.com MX
10 we-dont-accept-mail.fastmail.com.
...]$ dig +short we-dont-accept-mail.fastmail.com
127.0.0.1

**Shelded** · 10 Nov 2010, 09:45 AM

no interest. Never used fastmail.fm nor fastmail.com nor would I.

Terry · 10 Nov 2010, 10:53 AM

It would be hard using the .com

or did you mean .net?
