Duncan Bayne<p>I see Fastmail is shutting down superuser accounts, and introducing new pricing. With a family of five paying in (currently very weak) AUD, I hope it's still affordable 🤞 </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/fastmail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fastmail</span></a></p>

You just need to go to Settings &gt; Privacy and Security &gt; Manage App Passwords and Access and if you create app password for iPhone or iPad it will generate a profile that you can import (even on MacOS) and that will set up everything automatically.</p>

Jeff Sikes<p>Just finished moving my email from Proton to Fastmail. The documentation for this makes it sound like the only option for importing your email from Proton is by hand via .eml files in batches of 1,000. :yikes: </p><p>But I was able to use Thunderbird, connected via Proton Bridge, to create MBOX files for each folder and then use the "HEY" import feature in Fastmail. Much easier.</p><p>Thunderbird has an Export tool called "ImportExport Tools NG" that made this possible.
