Hi Camstop,
Have you used Outlook Express etc, before with Fast24? if so, IncrediMail can import the settings from those applications.

Other than that, I don't know what Fast settings are, sorry :-";"xx

The only info I have on it  Camstop is that its the same username and password (as your log in name I assume )
Its something I got from someone on Fast when a friend lost his details and luckily I kept that much as a notepad doc.
I havent a single contacts fast24 address,they all seem to use an alternate one  ::)

Just got this off Fast24 site :

A Fast24 email address (yourlogin@fast24.co.uk).

Hope that helps  :-*

Easily done,I thought it was .net before I looked on the site  ::)
If it still doesnt work try .net as I am sure I have seen some with that ending on fast ones  :-*

hi all

it's me again

can get my fast24 e-mails but i can't get my mail from my domain addresses.

i think i may have the wrong user-name in the servers page and i cant remember what you put in around your e-mail address  ???

is anyone on fast24 with a domain e-mail address that can give me a clue?  :)

Well, I'm guessing here, Camstop, but it would probably be <anything>@yourdomain.fast24.co.uk

Well, it's a fairly standard format for domain e-mail addresses, Camstop.  The part before the '@' can usually be whatever you like, so you probably don't have to stick to 'postmaster' if you want something different.  It's the bit following the '@' which is more important.   :)
