Fastmail Outage
6 points by mvdtnz 38 days ago | hide | past | favorite | 5 comments
Fastmail is currently undergoing an outage. Their status page linked below currently shows an outage for outgoing mail but I am experiencing problems using search and downloading attachments too.

August 29, 2024 at 3:51 PM We now believe that all of our outbound traffic is experiencing significant disruption.

We are continuing to investigate the problem.

August 29, 2024 at 3:00 PM Fastmail maintains a number of server addresses for TLS-secured IMAP, POP, and SMTP connections intended to deal with blocked ports in a user's local network: https://www.fastmail.help/hc/en-us/articles/1500000279921-IMAP-POP-and-SMTP#01H8Q4K5PQ0TNBQXT458TA4083

These servers are currently experiencing an outage, i.e. the following addresses can not be reached:

imaps-proxy.fastmail.com

pops-proxy.fastmail.com

smtps-proxy.fastmail.com

We recommend users to switch to one of the regular services if they can reach them at:

IMAP: imap.fastmail.com Port 993

POP: pop.fastmail.com Port 995

SMTP: smtp.fastmail.com Port 465 (SSL) or 587 (STARTTLS)

We are investigating the issue and will work to resolve the outage as quickly as possible.

The outage seems to be getting worse, not better. I can now no longer load my email at all, and an email that I'm currently drafting is failing to autosave. I can't upload attachments.


It looks like it's fixed.

'We believe we have resolved the issue, and are currently monitoring the results. No email has been lost.'


Fastmail has been very unreliable lately. It's been very frustrating.


That’s crazy, aren’t they like $10/mo?


The calendar stopped working briefly for me. Now, it's working.
