Beta testing - help required
We have been testing some changes to make some more existing Fastmail features available in the Beta AJAX interface. Some of these changes touch the underlying code used for the HTML interface too, so we'd love your help to make sure all works as you would expect.
How can you help?
Account preferences we've brought across to http://beta.fastmail.fm so far:
This is in no way a finite, feature-complete list. Please remember that the purpose of the Beta is to expose our work in progress in order to receive your feedback. We appreciate your time and effort. Thanks for testing! Marianh |

Welcome to the forum....
when I log in with fastmail.net....I get there is a problem with this websites security certificate....currently the login is only set up for a fm domain, this needs changing. Just one other final question....why the hell are you changing what we have ? from my point of view you are making things worse not better. Last edited by Terry : 10 Mar 2012 at 06:04 AM. |

Four Fastmail web mail interfaces
Another welcome to EMD Forums, Marianh!
Rob told me you would be posting here, and we appreciate your interest in this forum.

Fastmail currently has four web interfaces, and users can choose any of these. I think this shows an amazing support for allowing customers to slowly move to newer systems. The current login addresses are:

Yes I should stop posting about how much I hate the new U.I, as so many people have pointed out I'm not compelled to use it...
I had trouble going from the very old U.I to the current one and I now feel we are going down the same road again and so soon....my question is why all this work for so many people with almost the same end result. I will try hard not to post about it anymore... |

Your message was not sent because:

I've experienced this quite a few times this week on the http://beta.fastmail.fm/mail/ server. The same message then sends fine from WWW. According to recipients, some of the emails which result in the above (and a subsequent autosave draft) are actually sending but appear as though they have not. |

Replying to email received. Composed message. Hit Send "The message was not sent because:" (no reason) The message did actually send but appeared to fail, plus an autosave draft created. Added: Switching to https://beta.fastmail.fm/ as the above is happening pretty much every time with https://beta.fastmail.fm/mail/ Last edited by CyberDyne : 10 Mar 2012 at 09:35 PM. |

Ok. Well first. Hello again.
Quick story and then bug: Good stuff: I've been using Fastmail since 2002. Tried business plan when first came out. Didn't work out. Went to Google Apps. Have been maintaining both accounts but using FM as mainly a backup until I found FMBeta. So very happy to get ajaxy goodness finally. Not so good stuff I had to hunt down this forum. I just wanted to submit a bug report. Is there somewhere? Twitter account dormant since 2010. Seriously? Not even tweets of the blog posts? Bug Won't stay logged in for anything more than a few hours. Re-login box won't authenticate so have to manually go back to root URL https://beta.fastmail.fm OSX 10.7.3 Opera 11.61 Build 1250 Fastmail beta: r#23562 <3 G. |

Shhh! They might catch on that we've noticed what they're up to and redesign the AJAX interface again before it's even done!

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I'll try to respond to those that haven't already been answered:
n5bb: Thanks! We've been tracking the signature issue internally - you're right that it should be consistent. As it stands, the delimiter we add in the AJAX UI is the accepted signature delimiter many clients recognise. It's used as an accepted format for things like letting a client hide, remove or reformat the signature as the client or user desires. CyberDyne: Thanks very much for the report. Unfortunately I can't reproduce what you see, but I'll definitely keep digging around. I'll contact you again if we need any further help reproducing it. gyaresu: Welcome! Thanks for the report. Right now, Fastmail support issues can be lodged through the "Support" link at http://www.fastmail.fm. Regarding your report, this is a known bug relating to Fastmail session handling limitations which we will fix. |

I use the current production interface - www.fastmail.fm - you guys need to give these catchy names, like OSX releases..... so we know exactly which we are talking about!
Anyway - if I dabble with the new AJAX beta, will this corrupt or otherwise break my current sieve code I'm using?? I think I'll back it up in any case, but can I switch back and forth seamlessly between the interfaces without issues..... |

All web interfaces work with each other, and Sieve is independent

The only warning I would provide is the one new significant feature which affects how you can create your Sieve script (on the Options>Define Rules screen):
