Anonymous E-Mail Account

* Ever wanted an anonymous webmail account?
* Ever wanted a webmail account that allow you to send fakemail?

* Been looking for a webmail service that won’t show your IP address in a mail header?

We have the solution for you!

If you take your e-mail seriously, FastMail is the service for you!

Apart from the great features listed below, there’s 3 good reasons why we would like to recommend FastMail

1. Anonymity

Your IP address is NOT included in the mail header. This means that It’s
impossible for the recipient to find your real location.

2.Aliases
Let’s you use another email address associated with your account so that email
to that address ends up in your accounts mailbox.

NOTE:This function does NOT work on the free guest accounts!

3.Personalities
A personality allows you to send email and make it appear to come from a
different ‘From’ address. For instance, you can setup a ‘Work’ personality and
an ‘ISP’ personality, and send email and make it appear to come from those
addresses.

4. File storage
Up to 250 Mb
Support for FTP. You can also put files in a public folder and let other have
acces to it.
Website support…

Feature descriptions

Note that FastMail.FM has many features not mentioned here. This is just a
summary of those features which have different options for different membership
levels.

Web-based email

Is web interface access included

IMAP

Is IMAP access included (sophisticated mail reading and synchronization
protocol supported by most current mail software)

POP3

Is POP3 access included (basic mail reading protocol required by some older
email software)

POP/Hotmail Links

Can external POP and Hotmail accounts be accessed and messages downloaded
to your mailbox)

Technical Support

FastMail.FM has an extensive help system covering all aspects of the
service that all users have full access to. In addition, Full and Enhanced
subscribers get free technical support via email. Enhanced
subscribers’ requests are placed in a priority queue and are normally
answered in under 12 hours.

Mail Forwarding

Guests cannot use any email forwarding.
All other accounts get full custom forwarding,
where certain emails can be forwarded based on criteria, and optionally a
copy can be left on the server

SMTP

Is SMTP access included. Almost all ISPs provide access to an SMTP server,
so for most customers use of FastMail.FM’s SMTP server will not be necessary
(since FastMail.FM can be used for reading mail with IMAP while your ISP’s
SMTP server is used for send messages). People who use multiple ISP’s but
do not want to switch SMTP servers regularly will probably want to use FastMail.FM’s
SMTP server

Virus scanning

Advanced: received messages are checked by our virus scanner on the
server, which can be turned on or off for each account. Basic: messages are
checked for some common email worms

Spam protection

Advanced: received messages are analysed by a sophisticated Artificial
Intelligence algorithm and compared to common spam features; fully
customisable filtering based on “spam score”; messages from POP and Hotmail
links also checked. Basic: Source of each message is checked for likely spam
sources

Aliases

Members can sign up for one additional address, which is their existing
username in an additional domain. Full
accounts get 3 aliases, which can be different names in any of FastMail.FM’s
domains (dictionary words and common first/surnames are not permitted).
Enhanced accounts can have 5 aliases, plus 10 addresses in their own domain
(does not include domain registration fee)

Min username chars

Minimum length of username. Dictionary words and common first/surnames
are not permitted except for Enhanced and Full account user names. All
aliases must be at least 5 characters.

Own subdomain

All members get access to their very own subdomain. For instance, the account
“yourname@fastmail.fm” gets to use the domain “yourname.fastmail.fm”.
Any email sent to any address in this domain will be sent to that mailbox.
In addition, email sent to “foldername@yourname.fastmail.fm” will
automatically be filed into a folder called “foldername” for you.
These features are great for managing mailing lists, registrations, and for
avoiding spam by setting up reject filters for addresses that get on spammers’
lists

Storage quota

How many megabytes of storage space is provided for email. A warning is
sent if an account goes over 80% full

Maximum attachment size

The largest size for the total of all attachments to a message, either
sending or receiving. Slightly larger attachments may get through depending
on their encoding, but this is the guaranteed minimum.

Monthly transfer quota

How many megabytes of traffic can go through the account. A one megabyte
message to one recipient results in two megabytes of traffic, since it is
received from your PC (1MB) and sent to the recipient (1MB). Sending a one
megabyte message to nine people creates ten megabytes of traffic, using the
same logic

Extra transfer / GB

Cost of extra traffic beyond the transfer quota. You can choose whether
or not your credit card is automatically charged as required for additional
traffic. If you choose not to use automatic charging, your account will be
locked until the end of the month or until you pay for the necessary bandwidth.
Guest accounts do not have the option for automatic charging—they must
first become a FastMail.FM member

Hourly transfer quota

Amount of traffic permitted through account in one hour. Account will be
locked for an hour if this limit is reached

Hourly message quota

Number of message items permitted through account in one hour. A “message
item” is one message sent to one recipient. Non-subscribers have lower
quotas to avoid the possibility of mail abuse

Account closed

Days of inactivity before the account is automatically closed. Logging in
through the web, POP, IMAP, or SMTP causes the counter to reset. If you are
going on an extended vacation you can put your account “on hold”
which causes messages to not be delivered (the sender gets back a message
that your account is on hold) but the account will not be closed

Mailing list binaries allowed

FastMail.FM accounts may not be used for sending or receiving messages to
mailing lists which contain large attachments if you are not a member.
These types of lists (e.g. adult images distribution lists) generate
very high traffic and too many complaints and are too expensive for us to
provide for non-members

Address book

How many addresses can be added to the address book

Personalities

How many “personalities” can be created. Multiple personalities
let you send from multiple email addresses with different signatures for each
one. In the future that will also let you automatically route mail to your
different aliases to different folders (and even put replies in different
Sent folders)

Pop links

How many external POP or Hotmail links can be used for downloading mail
from other accounts

Poll window

The poll window is a small window that shows you when you have got mail
(if you leave the poll window on the side of the screen, or by updating a
button in the task bar if using Windows). Different membership levels have
different limits as to how often this will automatically refresh (note that
if you use IMAP software you will automatically be notified of new mail as
soon as you receive it, even for guests!)

Commercial use allowed

Do the Terms of Service for this account allow commercial use

Own domain names

Is possible to receive email sent to one of your own domains rather than
FastMail.FM’s domains

Secondary email address required

Is it necessary to have a backup email account to authenticate your identity
when you sign up, or is a credit card required. (Guests require a backup email
account to help us combat email abuse).

Ads

Will any advertising be shown on the site, or tag-lines added to outgoing
mail sent through the web interface (IMAP users will not experience ads, of
course)
