How to configure swift-mail.com for your Android Tablet
With this post I will try to explain setting up swift-mail.com with IMAP and SMTP for an Android Phone in a straightforward fashion.
What is swift-mail.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.
