Fastmail's calendar now has a world clock.
Add the places you care about in your calendar settings. Their time appears in the sidebar, and in day and week view, each can get its own column of hours alongside yours.
Also new: right-click actions on every event, and events on more than one of your calendars shown just once.
The post walks through all the updates:

You can now give from:@github.com its own group in your Fastmail inbox.
New in Fastmail: Group my mail. Groups put your messages into sections you choose, instead of one long list, newest first. Use search syntax like from:, list: and is:unread, or start with by age, pinned first or unread first.
Open the ⋯ menu at the top of your message list and choose Group. The post covers what groups can and can't match.

Data resilience at Fastmail comes down to a principle our CEO, Bron Gondwana, wrote down over ten years ago. The primary copy is gold. Back it up, replicate it. Principles rarely change, and that one has not.
In April it got tested. A bug wiped mailboxes for 8 accounts. Backups brought all of it back, down to 5 sent emails recovered from temporary files inside Cyrus. The write-up covers what broke, PR numbers and all.

Our new Amsterdam servers are live. The EU can now be the primary home for Fastmail data, and like our US locations, it's our own hardware, racked and run by our own people. Nothing rented from a big cloud provider.
Already a customer? Switch regions in your settings. Thinking about it? You choose your region at signup.
Our CEO Bron's post walks through exactly what lives where, because we figure you'd read the fine print anyway.

Friday is the 27th annual SysAdmin Appreciation Day, and our Platform Team Lead wrote about the job. The part we like most: the work is invisible on purpose. If you never notice the servers, networks, and DNS your email lives on, that's the whole point.
We run all of it in-house, so when something breaks, nobody here waits on hold with a vendor. Someone just fixes it.

Open standards run the inbox, and most people never think about them. SPF authorises the server, DKIM signs the message, DMARC sets the policy when checks fail.
As AI starts reading and actioning mail, that layer matters more. It confirms identity, not intent, but it makes lazy impersonation much harder.
For the record: we haven't put AI in your inbox. Our MCP server is one you connect to only if you choose.

Fastmail now has an MCP endpoint: https://api.fastmail.com/mcp.
MCP is an open standard, not tied to any one vendor. It sits alongside IMAP, CalDAV, and CardDAV as another way to connect to your email, calendar, and contacts. Optional, OAuth-gated, with read-only, write, and send permission levels.
You pick the client. Your data, your choice.

Hot take: "free" business email is one of the most expensive choices a small business can make.
Gmail is free because your data is the product. When you're handling client contracts and financial info, that's a real liability.
Fastmail: you pay for email, you get email, nobody reads your messages. Simple, private, reliable.

🤔 Understanding email encryption isn’t as simple as it sounds.
Email can be encrypted in several ways and at various stages — each protecting against specific threats.
We break down what really matters, the trade-offs involved, and how to choose the right balance for your privacy and security — including where encryption helps, and where it falls short. #fastmail #EmailSecurity #PrivacySecurity #Email
