Fastmail has always been an Australian company. Then they were bought by the Norwegian company Opera, who seem to have left them largely to their own devices. I haven't really noticed any changes from the acquisition. And yes the servers are in the New York, probably for latency reasons.
FastMail.FM's was started by Rob Mueller and Jeremy Howard in 1999. We are located in Melbourne Australia, we use IBM servers hosted by NYI in NYC US. FastMail.FM is now run by Opera Software Australia Pty Ltd, a whole owned subsidiary of Opera Software ASA of Norway.
