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 . |

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

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

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..

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..
- Bruce eta: this post I made in 2012 brings it up to closer to a decade.. 483 Dave started the original gallery in 2003 apparently.. Last edited by somdcomputerguy : 3 Dec 2021 at 07:32 AM. Reason: edited to add |

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
