We didn't name our company FastEmail by accident. Speed is at the core of everything we build. But what actually makes an email service "fast"? It comes down to network architecture, optimized storage engines, and intelligent caching.
Traditional email providers host your data in a single central location. Accessing it from half a world away introduces latency. FastEmail utilizes a distributed edge network, caching frequently accessed data closer to your physical location, reducing load times by up to 60%.
We've rewritten the standard IMAP and SMTP protocols in Rust to handle high-concurrency connections with minimal overhead. This means your inbox syncs instantly, whether you're on a fiber connection or 4G data.
Spinning hard drives are a thing of the past. Our entire storage infrastructure runs on enterprise-grade NVMe SSDs, ensuring that searching through thousands of emails happens in milliseconds, not seconds.
