I also would like to advocate for keeping the html version of Fastmail.. The thing I find hardest to adopt to is the difference in presentation.

Another issue is the placement of buttons at the top, not feasible to 'fix' of course as it is part of the design.

Another is the quick way to show all of the email header. This has already has been discussed.

I have some other issues too, but I have to take the time to make a good post, so that will be later (also to re-read the long thread).

One last thing to note is that both Google and Yahoo still have their html modes available and usable.

Not to address all of your points, but a couple of factors you may want to look into ...

If you select the Classic theme (not the Classic interface) when using the current interface, it looks somewhat closer to what you are used to.

While you cannot have your own CSS overrides directly in the current interface, as you can in the old one, depending on your browser, you can use an extension called Stylish to achieve the same effects.If you search this forum for "Stylish", you will find some examples where the extension has been found useful, including for re-enabling some old Classic interface features.

Notwithstanding the above, you certainly cannot create a Classic interface clone by fiddling with the current interface. When it is gone, it is gone.

I need help.

Yesterday, I went to a public library to use the Standard FastMail interface. I tried to set up "automatic forwarding" of all incoming messages to another email account, but I apparently made a mistake because automatic forwarding of messages to that account is failing.

What I want to do is have "all incoming messages" that arrive at my FastMail account automatically forwarded to another email account. In addition, a copy of each incoming message should be kept in my FastMail account. What is the configuration information in the Standard interface I need to use?

Years ago, when using the "original" Classic interface, I set up automatic forwarding of incoming messages to other email accounts, and it took me less than a minute to do so.. It was a breeze to do. Unfortunately, one cannot use the current Classic interface to set up automatic forwarding of messages now, and I need help, desperately. Therefore, if you can assist me, please post "step-by-step" instructions on what I should do.

Thank you.

You can write a Sieve script. This is simple for forwarding:

Code:
redirect "my@other.email";
You can also use it to notify of incoming email without forwarding it:

Code:
notify :method "mailto"
       :options ["my@other.email"]
       :message "$from$ /  / Subject: $subject$";
Sieve is a great tool. It kept me entertained all these years.

...or just use the regular interface: Open Settings > Mail > Rules and click the "New Rule" button on top of the page.

Set Conditions to "All" and click on the text "The sender's email": A list appears. Click "All messages" on top of the list.

In the Action section click on "Send a copy to" and enter the mail address you would like to forward mails to.

Click save on top of the page. Done

Hi Tim,
Accessibility is indeed a more pressing problem to me than speed, so please could you expand on this?
What is Roundcube, exactly, and how can I use it to access Fastmail?
I'm confused.
According to Wikipedia, Roundcube is a 'web-based IMAP email client', but when I go to roundcube.net it seems to require me to have a computer on which to install it.
This seems like a contradiction to me.
If I have to install it and run it on a computer, in what sense is it 'web-based'?
Thanks,
Graham.

Hi David.
The item you linked to is about how Fastmail are helping to develop a new version of Roundcube.
That is interesting, but unfortunately it doesn't answer my questions!
Thanks anyway.

RoundCube is like Squirrel Mail or Horde Mail. You access it via C-Panel on your web hosting account.

It is installed on the server, not on your personal computer. As a user you use Roundcube as a (possibly one of many) web interface to your account. See "screenshots" on the Roundcube site,

No, you access it directly, see e.g. https://ssl.eumx.net/rc/

I've only ever seen it on my C-Panel. There is no way to sign up on that page.

Er, I think it was an illustration of how to use Roundcube, in answer to my question about the nature of Roundcube and how I might use it to access Fastmail.
Apologies if you feel we have strayed too far off topic.

I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar with those things, too, so the comparison doesn't help.
My web-site is hosted by Fastmail, so does that make Fastmail my 'web hosting account'?
If so, we seem to be going round in circles.

I see the screenshots, but they don't clarify things for me.
Maybe I'm just being dim.
What I'm after is way of accessing my Fastmail account from my phone after the Classic interface is withdrawn.
BritTim suggested Roundcube.
Could somebody please explain in simple terms how to use Roundcube (or Squirrel Mail or Horde or C-Panel or Eumx or anything other than this pesky new "Current" interface) as a web interface for Fastmail.
Thank you.
