How to connect Fastmail to Marco

Learn how to connect your Fastmail email account to Marco using IMAP, including how to generate an app-specific password required by Fastmail.

Updated over a week ago

Fastmail works with Marco via IMAP. To connect your account, follow the steps below.

1. Choose IMAP as the provider

When adding a new account in Marco, select IMAP from the provider list.

2. Enter the IMAP settings

Use the following Fastmail IMAP settings:

  • IMAP server (hostname): imap.fastmail.com

  • Port: 993

  • Security: SSL

3. Create an app password (required)

Fastmail does not allow third-party apps to use your main account password. Instead, you’ll need to create an app password.

If you’re logged into Fastmail, you can create one directly here.

Create a new app password and give it any name you like (for example, “Marco App”).

For detailed instructions from Fastmail, see their official guide.

4. Use the app password in Marco

On the IMAP details step, paste the app password you just created (not your regular Fastmail password) as the IMAP Password.

Once saved, Marco will connect to your Fastmail account and start syncing your emails.
