What is fastmail.us
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.

Setting up fastmail.us
Mail may find your e-mail configuration automatically, then set up your account. Follow these steps in order to try:
- Open Settings, then Mail, and click Accounts
- Click Add Account > Other, and tap Add Mail Account.
- Type in your name (can be any name), email address, your password with a description for account.
- Tap Next. Mail should now try to find the mail parameters and complete setting your account. If Mail finds your email settings, click Done to finish your setup.
If Mail couldn't automatically set up your account, it means that you will have to enter them yourself. I think you will need the following information:
Incoming Mail (IMAP) Settings
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 Settings (via 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:
- Choose either IMAP or POP If you are not certain which one to choose, contact fastmail.us.
- Type the required details (You may want to refer to the table above) for Incoming Mail Server and Outgoing Mail Server. Then tap Next
- If the mail setup is correct, click Save to finish the setup. If the email configuration is incorrect, the app will ask you to modify the configuration.
- In case you still can't set up your email account or save your email settings, contact fastmail.us.
