Floating static groups and categories box
If the groups box in the address book would be always staying at the same place in the window (floating static box), it would be much easier to sort the messages, as we would not have to scroll back up to see the groups or to group contacts.
The same thing would be applicable to categories in the mailbox. This would make it a lot faster when we have lots of messages/contacts to categorize/group. It would make the interface much nicer, too. Very simple Javascript of DHTML or layer can be used. |

I'd like to have some sort of "scripting" ability (or perhaps I should call it "macros"?). The idea is to be able to automate things I do a lot. Example: "choose quote as text, reply, choose HML compose". I had some better examples of usage in my mind earlier today but the hour is too late for thinking clearly right now.
Another, along the same line: be able to save some custom actions (apply certain style/attribute) in HTML compose, and then being able to apply it to selected text.. ALternative password that canot be used to hijack the account, Block email at SMTP by matching envelope info to pattern (regexp or other) - This could be used to block spammed subdomain addresses. HTML in notepad (and perhaps way to "publish" note to filespace, for acessibility from where I do not dare use my FastMail main password. Some more... But I'm falling asleep... |

I call the LDAP function. At my university they just switched to the newest version of the exchange server (including the outlook web access part) and I realized how lovely it would be to have synchronized address books. Won't be switching though, since it only offers 250 mb of space (muhaha )
I know that LDAP is a server intense process, but there is always the option to only provide it to Enhanced members. There aren't any free LDAP servers out there (for as far as I know) and paying for it wouldn't make sense having a paid e-mail provider already. So I am really relying on my mail provider for this..... Fastmail that is ! Cheers! P.s.: Might by the way be interested in the whole new Microsoft Live Mail and its dedicated new mail client. Could give Fastmail some competition I guess (although some people might not agree on this ). Imagine 2gb, your own domain, fresh look&feel and a mail client especially designed for the service.... Well we'll see! |

My top votes are for:
1. Global search And if you can make it as fast as Gmail's, all the better! 2. Labels Frankly, they're a revelation. Being able to apply multiple labels to emails would be perfect. Doubtless that's a big ask, not least because you'll want to retain folders and IMAP functionality. BUT I think Yahoo are doing it with their new beta service... 3. Erm, another Gmail feature... "Conversations", except call them something else. It works brilliantly. It makes working with emails so much easier! 4. Auto BCC [per folder or per personality] for archiving purposes. 5. Folder name and list order Some of my folder names are quite cryptic because I can't use symbols, etc. Surely there's a way around this? Also being able to change the order of the folder list would be helpful. 6. Gmail-a-like tooltip showing options as you type email addresses when composing Last edited by mjz : 13 Apr 2006 at 09:08 PM. |

When I try to up load a file to xublic/filename I'm told that's illegal. (I can upload to x:filename OK, but the texts end up in a private folder. While is cool for the most part, just not when I'm working on my website.) |

Address Book Sync (or LDAP support)
In my opinion there is only one big thing missing at fastmail: easy syncing of the address book.
I use TBird and it is quite ackward to export each of my TBird address books (ie. each folder of addresses must be done seperately) and then important them all into fastmail. And then the folder info gets lost! I think that exposing my FM address book via LDAP would solve the problem? |

RSS Integration
I want to specify a feed and have it come to my e-mail box, and administer it in the web interface. I want to send an e-mail to a specific address (or have some sort of API/button thing like Yahoo does) and have the feed added to my list. Of course, I want to import and export OPML so that I can bring feeds in from other clients, and take them with me when FastMail fails to implement some other feature, causing me to take a break from the service. |

Hi everyone,
Looks like we're done.. can you all check if your requests made it onto the list? I've had to un-double a lot of stuff as a lot of posts were simply me-too'ing. --K |

Insert Notes at cursor? (instead of appending)
