I dont know who told you its slow but they are wrong. I have been using gmail for 3 years now and have never had a slowness issue once. Gmail beats the hell out of yahoo mail. Trust me.

Anyway, to set it up with imap...when you're first setting up your account, misspell your email address (example: you@fastmal.com). Misspell fastmail. The email client wont force you to autosetup...allowing you to chose imap and input server settings automatically. Then, when setup is complete, go back and edit the email address and make it correct.
