Setting Up Multiple Fastmail Inboxes on iPhone
Hello.
I have an iPhone 4S with my main Fastmail Inbox setup and it works perfectly. However, I have 3 other email addresses that redirect to other folders/inboxes inside Fastmail that I'd like to see on my iPhone and be monitored for incoming messages. I think I "know" how to do it properly on the iPhone, but when I try to add a new email account, the iPhone tells me that I already have IMAP "name@fastmail.fm" already configured. I figured I could just could just add a new email service like I did for my main inbox, and select the Inbox.Second as the new inbox for it (where .Second is the folder that email to my second email address is redirected). But, it looks like I have to have a different username to setup different email accounts on my iPhone. Anyone have any luck? Thanks, Tim |

Fixed Part of the problem
Thanks for your reply. This actually solved part of the problem. Now, I need to be able to select a different inbox besides the default. I have inbox.Work for my work related email. Can't seem to find a way to select this. I can select the right sent box, but there is no option to select specific inboxes.

I'd rather use IMAP
Thanks for the advice using POP, but I really need to use IMAP.
And actually, my folders in Fastmail look like this: Inbox Sent Items Drafts Trash Junk Mail Work Inbox Other Inbox Archive Archive.Work Archive.Home Archive.Misc Is there anyway to use the "IMAP Path Prefix" setting on the iPhone to select a different inbox ("Work Inbox")? |

Hi,
I believe the limitation is the iPhone mail client, it only supports notification from the top level inbox. I have a complicated set of folders myself with rules to direct inbound email into the folders but only receive mail notification for the Inbox. I got around this by creating a rule for all email to send a summary to my iCloud account so I can see where to look in the folder structure on my iPhone. An alternative solution is to file everything but the email for your work etc and manually move it from your Inbox when it arrives. That way you receive notification and move it to the correct folder when you act on it. Regards Alan |

Hi Tim,
You have got me thinking about this and experimenting with the script I was using to send notifications. I have a rule that uses the address book groups to filter messages. Every message is checked against your address book on the way in and a header is set containing the group that it matches. So if you had an address book group called "Family and Friends" then anyone in that group would have the following header set: Code:
X-Spam-Known-Sender: yes, "Family and Friends" Here's how you create the File into folders rule: Set the Message with popup to Advanced Copy and paste the following into The text field: Code:
header:contains"X-Spam-known-sender" "Family and Friends" Here's the notify script for the address book group Set the Message with popup to Advanced Copy and paste the following into The text field: Code:
header:contains"X-Spam-known-sender" "Family and Friends" Code:
notify :method "mailto" :options ["your@emailaddress.com","Text","Only"] :message "- / From: $from$ Subject: $subject$ / Mail Alert: from $from$. Subject $subject$" Using an address book group for filing or notification makes it easy to update, all you need to do is move addresses into or out of the group for the rule to take affect. You don't need the file into folders rule for the notification to work, I just thought I'd include it here for completeness. You can change the content of the notification by modifying the Notify script parameters, fastmail have some info here: https://www.fastmail.fm/docs/sieve/fm-sieve-notify.html Hope it helps, Alan |
