Those caps make single-mailbox sending fine for personal mail but a poor fit for cold outreach at volume. Emailchaser spreads sending across warmed inboxes and manages deliverability, so you can scale without burning Fastmail accounts.

Common questions about Fastmail SMTP settings

What are Fastmail's SMTP settings?


Fastmail's outgoing (SMTP) server is smtp.fastmail.com. Use port 587 (STARTTLS) or 465 (SSL/TLS). SSL/TLS on 465 (recommended) or STARTTLS on 587. Sign in with your full email address and password (or app password).

What is Fastmail's IMAP or POP3 server?


Fastmail's incoming IMAP server is imap.fastmail.com on port 993 (SSL/TLS). If you prefer POP3, use pop.fastmail.com on port 995.

Which port should I use for Fastmail?


Use port 587 with STARTTLS wherever it's offered — it's the modern standard for authenticated sending. Port 465 with SSL/TLS is a solid alternative. Avoid port 25, which most networks block for client sending. Fastmail's recommended value is above.

Why won't my Fastmail SMTP connection work?


Check authentication first: Requires an app password — your login password will not work in mail clients. Create one at Settings > Privacy & Security > App passwords. Then confirm the host, port and security method match exactly — a 587/SSL or 465/STARTTLS mismatch will fail to connect.

Can I send bulk or cold email through Fastmail?


Not at scale. Generous per-plan limits aimed at personal and small-business use. Providers throttle bursts to fight spam, so pushing cold email through one mailbox hits limits and wrecks deliverability. High-volume outreach belongs on dedicated infrastructure that spreads sending across warmed inboxes — which is what Emailchaser does.
