MacOS Fastmail app?
Hi,
I'm currently working on a Macbook Pro running MacOS Ventura 13.4 and using Chrome. Today I received an invitation to download the Fastmail app - so I did, and I now see a full running Fastmail app running outside of chrome - is this a legit Fastmail app? I have never heard of this before today. Thanks Jeremy |

Yes. I read it somewhere, but can't find it at the moment.

nope it's not the FMail app. When I'm in Chrome on a MAC and I have fastmail open in a tab, and I then click on the options menu, there is an "install fastmail app" option - that's how I got to it. It works fine - just like the web one

Are you saying you in fact downloaded it twice? |

All this going back and forth on whether this app is legit! Is all this actually for a MacOS app named "FMail" or one called "FMail2"?••
For all MacOS apps I recommend you either download them directly from the author's own website or a trusted app listing site like MacUpdate. MacUpdate has been around for many years (over 20 I think). It has an entry for downloading FMail2 (link), not a app named FMail anywhere.•• It also references the FMail2's own site https://fmail-app.fr/. A google search will find both the author's site and the MacUpdate page. •• Looking at the FMail website, they have a page about it's legacy. That says FMAil2 is the successor of FMail. So if you installed an app named FMail and not the latest called FMail2 you are accessing an old out-of-date version of that app. And like placebo says, what options menu in the FastMail web UI? I don't use Chrome but I suspect you are looking at one of Chrome's own menus (or menu item) named Options. Last edited by xyzzy : 28 Jun 2023 at 07:07 PM. |
