Fastmail provides email services, with a few additional features (Calendar, Notes, Files with optional web access). They do not provide discussion group services.

The FastMail Forum we are posting in is a free service of emaildiscussions.com, which has no relationship with Fastmail. Google Groups is a separate feature offered by Google, and is not directly related to their email service.

Since this is EmailDiscussions, readers assume that all posts are referring to email-related topics unless the poster clearly states otherwise.

My previous post alluded to in in the last post (http://www.emaildiscussions.com/showthread.php?t=74101) showed how to use collaborative email, where you can set up your Fastmail account to automatically forward messages sent by members of a contact group to all members of that contact group. This is quite different from an online discussion group (which has no direct need for use of email).
