it is the fact than the "5 icons bar menu" is not entirely dependant of the displayed message...
it is a IFRAME of "Archive displayed message * Delete displayed message * Report displayed message as spam * Move displayed message in... * Read/unread/pinned/unpinned displayed message" instead of "Archive Message-ID <201701170141.f364a78a5ccb@www.emaildiscussions.com> * Delete Message-ID <201701170141.f364a78a5ccb@www.emaildiscussions.com> * Report Message-ID <201701170141.f364a78a5ccb@www.emaildiscussions.com> as spam * Move Message-ID <201701170141.f364a78a5ccb@www.emaildiscussions.com> in... * Read/unread/pinned/unpinned Message-ID <201701170141.f364a78a5ccb@www.emaildiscussions.com>" The solution with Message-Id (or your own unique internal message-id) are inside the classical interface. it is mandatory. Of course, it is not beautiful buttons but so easy to change that (not now, you will give up it...) The workaround which you can now implement in actual interface is to continue to IFRAME this menu (as now) in all cases excepting when the user read a mail... On this case clicking a lot on the same icon as i did (more than 4 times per second) CAN NOT delete other message...................................... the only disadvantage is you must adding on every message the source code of the 5 icons.

I'm also not clear on how to install the code on a local server (any hints appreciated), that would be on Windows7 or 10 Pro |

Hello folks,
I was directed here by fastmail support when I asked if the "new" interface required javascript. They didn't answer but I'll assume for the moment it does. I'm looking for web mail free of both charge and javascript. I mostly use gmail but I'm always on the lookout for alternates. I hadn't previously noticed several options listed earlier in this thread. But a "quick look" indicates that hushmail uses javascript and safe-mail costs a ridiculous $50/year. riseup looks good but requires two invite codes to register. Does anyone have ideas about how to get such codes? Thanks |

Adding my voice to the 1 or 2% that still use the Classic interface
I just wanted to add my voice to the seemingly very small (as reported on Page 4) percentage of users who still use the Classic interface. I have been a user of Fastmail since 2003 or so (started paying in 2005). At the time I was looking, the (now) Classic interface is the biggest reason I chose FM. It simply excelled above any of the competitors. It had the perfect blend of power and ease of use that I was looking for. It matured over the years to become even better.
Then, the New interface came out. I was excited to try it. I used it, but found it lacking. I was happy when I found I could still use the original interface, and continued to use it. Over time, I would come back to the New interface, only to find it continued to not meet my needs. I would inevitably switch back to Classic. I thought: I hope the Classic interface will always be available. But I knew that it might not, mainly because of the reasons that have already been stated (maintaining old code, two systems, etc). It's unfortunate. I will really miss the "keep unread and go to: Next, Previous, N/P Unread, First Last, Folders; Delete and Next/Previous etc." options at the top of messages. I also like selecting a page of emails at a time and deleting or taking action on just that set. I also like being able to move a message to any folder while in a message by clicking on the "move message" button on the left. I like the easy to access Show full header. I like seeing how many emails are in a folder without having to select them all first. These are the things I will miss most. There are other things, but these are invaluable. I'm sure I won't convince anyone to keep the Classic interface around, but at least I've stated my opinions. I will miss it, and will grudgingly use the new interface. I will learn the keyboard shortcuts as they seem to hold great power. Who knows, maybe after a year or so, I'll forget I ever loved the Classic interface. Who knows? |

It is a fact that a few features from classic are not available in the newer interface, and some are important to me also. It is worth noting that Fastmail has been listening (thank you Bron) and some of these features are coming to the newer interface in the next few months. If after carefully examining the current interface, including functions available through keyboard shortcuts, you find functionality missing that will seriously impact you, explain what it is and why it is important. Maybe, you can get a sympathetic hearing, and will see what you want coming back. |

Recently euxm.net answered me and gave me a free account, it's using many different interfaces to login, and you can do it without javascript too with squirrelmail (it will finish in 1 year or so) and Horde. Try to request a free account If you need some invitation to riseup.net I can give you 1, if you get the other one. |

It's not expensive or difficult to add an interface without javascript (Squirrrelmail, Horde, etc) and make happy some people like us, even all those people looking for an email service without javascript these days when people are afraid to allow some scripts from internet. Nowadays many people use Tor always without javascript and are looking for something like that, I have seen in some reviews of email services the option if these email services need javascript or not, like something people consider important. And what I am discovering with all these changes in Fastmail, even with old accounts, is very very sad. What's happening with Fastmail?.

Incidentally, I hadn't mentioned that I've been using fastmail for more than 7 years. It's the javascript in the "new" interface that is prompting me to look elsewhere. And I used lavabit until the Feds forced Ladar to shut down though it looks like he may be back shortly. It remains to be seen if the "new" lavabit is fee and js-free.

It's http://eumx.net (You had the "m" and "x" reversed. )
I just logged in to my account there with Squirrelmail and it was fine. |
