End of classical interface
Hello,
I see classic interface will be closed in june 2017.... I'm totally crazy about that ! 3 months ago, i have explained here and in support a bug which sometimes remove 2 messages instead of 1 inside the new interface, only the classical interface avoided that. support ticket was closed. afterthat, i picked up the phenomena here on video: So before closing a great thing, please explain me why my finger touch deleted message 62, 60 and 54 on the beginning of my video before viewing any even small content of these messages ? https://youtu.be/0IbIvyEerIs |

I expected that this day was coming, and I understand the legitimate reasons why Fastmail intend doing it. I must say, though, that vivil raises a good reason why having two interfaces has value. Apart from access to functionality unavailable in the current interface, it provides an alternative when critical bugs cause the current interface to malfunction.

Everyone has access to free IMAP email clients for their PC or mobile device. Fastmail has never forced users to stay on webmail.

I think what he means is, things like you cant download an email to your HD where as you can quite easily on the old UI.
Also looking up headers some applications are missing in the current UI, there is really a long list of things that are in the old UI that are not in the current one....Lets hope they will all be added before its cut off. |

Bron stated in another thread that he will work on adding anything which seems important (although rarely used by most users) to the current interface. So I think this is a very good move. Bill |

Bill in the old UI you have Show full header and show Raw message, the show full header is much nicer to use and missing in the current UI.

It's a pity, I normally use my browser without javascript and many times I need to check my email with the browser, so... another email service using only javascript. I think it's only riseup and hushmail offering an interface without javascript yet. I understand it in FM but very very bad to me

I answer to another message which says that POP3 and IMAP4 clients still exist... for sure to avoid this big bug on video, i must switch on a new e-mail provider or choose an external software. lots of settings to have, lot of these does not permit by default to move a message on the trash... a mess. The classical interface permits to choose another e-mail as poster and so on... They only think to cut that ancestery method but new interface is not on the same level. period. |

Parting is such sweet sorrow. The sweetness of the memories will surely linger.
Hail and farewell, my dear, dear friend. |

Is there a list anywhere of the differences remaining between the old and new interfaces? I'm glad that customers have an opportunity to provide some feedback and I hope it's not going through the motions. After all, some of us have used Fastmail a long time (14 years in my case) and signed up many users.
