How to configure fast-mail.org for your Samsung Galaxy (Android)
With this article I will try to demonstrate how to setup fast-mail.org using IMAP and SMTP for a Samsung Galaxy (Android) in a simple language.
First, a few words about fast-mail.org:
Fastmail is an email hosting company based in Melbourne, Australia. In addition to its Fastmail-branded services, the company also operates Topicbox, a mailing list service, and Pobox, an email service it acquired in 2015. The company was acquired by Opera Software in 2010 but became independent again in 2013 through a staff buyout. Its servers are located in Bridgewater, New Jersey and Seattle, Washington.
