Download all your data

Whether you're migrating away from Fastmail or you'd like to make your own backup of your data, you can download all your information.

• Download your mail
• Download your contacts
• Download your calendars
• Download your notes
• Download your files
• Download your payment history
• Download your login history
• Delete all your data

Download your mail

You can export your mail by going to Settings → Migration and clicking the Export tab. Click New mail export, and follow the steps on the screen to choose the folder and date range. Once the export has finished, click Download.

Mail will be downloaded in a .zip file on your desktop. Only one folder can be downloaded at a time, so these steps will need to be repeated for each folder you wish to download and export. We currently limit exports to 4 GB at a time. 

You can also import your mail into a desktop mail client using our setup guides. From there, your mail client can export the data to be stored locally in a format of your choice.

Some tips to remember when downloading your mail:

• If you try to export a mail folder that only contains subfolders, the import will fail. The subfolders will need to be exported individually.
• Make sure your mail client is set up to download data for offline access. This ensures it has a local copy of all of your data.
• Make sure your mail client is downloading all of your folders. By default, many clients only synchronize the INBOX.
• Make sure your mail client isn't configured to leave large mail or large mail attachments on the server.
