I am also a fastmail client using debian(devuan).
I have been meaning to setup inc... I just did:

inc -snoop -initialtls -host pop.fastmail.com -user [email protected] -port pop3s

Having setup an "app" password for POP3 access only, and put it into my .netrc.
It worked... Sadly no IPv6.

Perhaps the IMAP process is more complicated, but I see no point in IMAP, as
I'm not keeping email there.
