Interesting ways to use fastmail
 

What do you use your fastmail for ?

I use it the following ways :-

1) As a web-based email client

2) Web-based file storage

3) Web-based zipping utility ! :)

Web based zipping utility? OK..I'll bite. What's up with that? I mean..why would you need one and what do you do with it?

I use Fastmail mainly for..e-mail. Although I have started a to do list in Drafts and there are some files I keep on there on purpose. I've always used my web based e-mail as a place to keep passwords and registration information.

Well, I was using a friend's computer the other day and it didnt' have winzip. Rather than waiting for it to download, I uploaded the file, which was small ( we just wanted to make it smaller :) ) , and downloaded it from my fast mail account.

Wahlah ! Instant zipping :D .

Hey, that's clever!

It's great for use in public libraries which have fast connections but don't allow you to install any software.

:D

:D

When I had a fastmail account (BASIC -- GOOD INTERFACE) I used it for my email and I used my storage for some things also..... Sharing files and all...... I liked how it showed the IP that accessed it :)

Sadly I havent had a good of an email since :(

Good grief! How did you even find a thread that old?

Makes ya feel good the site is still about BritTim doesnt it :)

I use Fastmail mostly for email (both web UI and local client), but I use their file storage capabilities too. The EMD Members photo gallery comes to mind.. :cool:

Yes you have alot of nice pictures on there :)

How long has that been up now anyway??

Yours missing.

You know, to be honest, I have no idea how long DBH maintained it. He probably started it too, but I'm not entirely clear on that. I'm not even sure how long ago I began its' 'transfer and resurrection'. Five or six years at least I guess..

Thats interesting....Do you know the original URL??

Unfortunately, the original page no longer exists, and is not even available on archive.org. To satisfy your curiosity, the original url was http://dbh.fateback.com/emd.html
