Key quotes
· 4 pulledCongrats to @Fastmail, the only provider @Apple allows to send push notifications to the iOS Mail app.
No announcement. No documentation. No access for anyone else. Just quiet favoritism.
We’ve tried to talk. @Apple just stops responding once they realize what we’re asking.
We’re not going to be quiet. We’re just getting started.
