With this blog I will try to demonstrate how to setup fastem.com using IMAP and SMTP for a Samsung Galaxy (Android) in a straightforward way.
First, a few words about fastem.com
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.
