How to configure Fastmail.se for your iPhone
With this post we will try to demonstrate setting up Fastmail.se using IMAP and SMTP in a simple way.
What is Fastmail.se:
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.

Setting up Fastmail.se:
Mail app may find the email parameters itself, then complete setting up your account. Follow these steps in order to try:
- Go to Settings > Mail, then tap Accounts.
- Click Add Account, tap Other and tap Add Mail Account.
- Type your name (can be any name), your email address, password and a description for your account
- Tap Next. Mail will now try and find the mail parameters and finish setting your account. If Mail finds the e-mail settings, tap Done to complete your setup.
In case Mail hasn't been able to automatically set up your account, it means that you will need to enter them yourself. I think you will find the table below useful:
Setup Needed for Receiving Mail via IMAP
Server Hostname | imap.fastmail.com |
Server Port | 993 |
Username | Your username (do not include the part after the @ sign) |
Authentication | Password |
SSL/TLS | Yes |
Outgoing Mail Server Configuration (using SMTP)
Server Hostname | smtp.fastmail.com |
Server Port | 587 |
Username | Your username (do not include the part after the @ sign) |
Authentication | Password |
SSL/TLS | Yes |
Tap Next, then follow these steps:
- Select either IMAP or POP for your new account. If you don't know which one to choose, contact Fastmail.se
- Type the required details (You might want to have a look at the table above) for Incoming Mail Server and Outgoing Mail Server. Then click Next
- If the email setup is correct, tap Save to finish the setup. If your mail configuration is incorrect, you will be asked to modify the configuration
- If you still can't configure the email account, or save your settings, contact Fastmail.se.
