  • Fastmail announces full offline support for all customers, including apps and web.
  • Offline support can be enabled in Settings → Offline for iOS, Android, and web browsers.
  • Initial sync may take time; web browsers need to keep the tab open, while apps sync in the foreground.
  • Default settings download recent messages and opened messages; attachments are cached only when opened.
  • Web browser requirements: 'Keep me logged in' must be ticked, modern browser needed, and bookmarking the inbox is recommended.
  • Offline support can be disabled anytime, deleting the local mail cache.
  • Most functions work offline, including reading mail, replying, and editing contacts or calendar.
  • Limitations offline: mail search differences, no snoozed message movement, no calendar reminders, restricted attachment deletion, and no user/domain changes.
  • Technical details of offline support architecture were shared in a public beta announcement.
  • Fastmail emphasizes seamless online-offline transitions and cutting-edge web development.
