FMail3 overview

Email provider Fastmail offers native iOS and Android clients but lacks a dedicated macOS application. While Fastmail’s web interface is excellent, it has one significant limitation: it cannot behave like a native mail application on macOS.

The Problem

The primary issue is that the web interface cannot handle email links (mailto: links) properly. When you click on an email link, macOS defaults to opening the built-in Mail application instead of Fastmail’s web interface—which defeats the purpose if you’re trying to use Fastmail as your primary email client.

The Solution: FMail3

FMail3 represents a modern evolution of FMail2, built in accordance with Apple’s design guidelines. This wrapper application allows Fastmail’s web interface to function more like a native macOS mail client.

What's new in version 2.8.0

New
  • Mark as Read, Archive and Flag right from a new-mail notification, next to Delete.A notification also disappears by itself once the email is read or moved, even on another device.
  • Dock menu: right-click the Dock icon to see your unread count and newest unread emails, or start a new message or open your Inbox.
  • The menu bar icon now lists your newest unread emails. Click one to open it, or mark them all as read at once.
  • New Message from the Dock, the menu bar or Shortcuts follows Compose email in separate window.Mail links (mailto:) from other apps still open in the main window.
  • Shortcuts actions: Get Unread Mail Count, Search Mail, Open Mailbox, Open Email, New Message and Mark Emails. Use them in the Shortcuts app, from Spotlight, or with Siri.Try “How many unread emails in FMail3” or “New message in FMail3”.
  • Use the MCP server from Claude Code on another computer: in Settings ▸ Advanced, choose an extra address for FMail3 to listen on, such as your local network or Tailscale address.Access is protected by an access token, which you can copy or regenerate in Settings. You can also require the token on this Mac.
  • Right-click menu in FMail3:On a link to Fastmail (for example to another email): open it in a new FMail3 tab or window, or in your default browser. On an email: copy an Apple Mail or Hookmark link. On selected text: Highlight Selection.
Improved
  • The MCP server can now search by text, recipient, mailbox, unread, flagged and attachments, and shows the total number of matches.New tools let Claude mark emails as read or flagged and move them to another mailbox. Nothing can be deleted or sent.
  • The MCP server is better protected: it now only accepts connections from this Mac (unless you add an address), and refuses requests from websites open in your browser.Nothing changes for Claude Code on this Mac; it keeps working without any setup.
  • Clicking a new-mail notification now opens and selects the right conversation.
Fixed
  • With several mail tabs open, getAddress now returns the email selected in the tab you last used, also when FMail3 is in the background. Before, it always returned the email from the first mail tab.
