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.

Setting up fastemail.us
Mail can find your email configuration itself, then configure your account. Apply the following steps first in order to try:
- Open Settings, then Mail then click Accounts.
- Click Add Account, click Other, and click Add Mail Account
- Enter your name (can be any name), email address, password with a description for account.
- Tap Next. Mail should try to find the email settings and finish your account setup. If Mail finds your e-mail parameter, tap Done to finish your account setup.
If the Mail app can't find your mail settings, it means that you have to enter them yourself. You may find the information below useful:

Server Hostname | imap.fastmail.com |
Server Port | 993 |

Tap Next, then follow these steps:
- Choose IMAP or POP for your new account If you don't know which one to select, contact fastemail.us.
- Enter the information (You might want to refer to the table above) for Incoming Mail Server and Outgoing Mail Server. Then click Next
- If your mail settings are correct, tap Save to complete . If the email setup is incorrect, you will be asked to modify them.
- If you still are not able to setup the e-mail account or store your e-mail settings, contact fastemail.us.
