That's great to hear. Regarding the Android app having just checked it out, my first request, if you're taking them, is multiple account support. I can only log into one fastmail.com account at a time with what is here now. The reason I have two accounts is because I have two domains that get emails. Otherwise seems like a solid app. I'll probably start using this as my calendar app. :)

http://jmap.io/ seems pretty awesome, I guess I can use that to build my own fastmail app integration?

Thanks for all the hard work on fastmail!

Yep, its high on the todo list for a future update.

That's the intent, though we're not there yet.

JMAP does indeed look very interesting. In my (very, very slow) path towards writing my own email client, I've also come to expect that a new, simpler protocol is probably a better bet than imap. Partly this belief is bolstered by the fact that the creator of sup went on to make heliotrope: https://github.com/sup-heliotrope/heliotrope [ed: I suppose the canonical repo is https://github.com/wmorgan/heliotrope -- but afaik they are the same (and both appear dead)]

Is the code on: http://jmap.io/server.html actual code? If so what kind? Lua? It'd be great if you could publish some test cases, even if you don't have implementations to go (open source) with it at this time.

I'm sure fastmail can bring a lot of real-world testing and experience to the table when/if designing a new protocol for email -- and I'd be very surprised if we actually need more than one... (at least considering we already have smtp, lmtp, pop3, imap and maildirsync over ssh, along with rsync/unison -- that cover a lot of use-cases already).
