OT: Email services

[Tyler Spivey]

Does anyone have any suggestions on inexpensive, reliable email
services? I want an email address that will stay with me if I change
isps, or have no internet access at home (which is the case now). I've
gone through about 5 free email services that just don't fit the bill -
block certain addresses, (e.g. yahoogroups), flaky smtp servers (or none
at all!) or total unreliability. Something that costs $29.95/year (e.g.
Runbox) seems promising until you convert to Canadian dollars, which
will run up to about $50. 
This one seems to work, but I don't want to find myself changing emails
weekly.
Thanks in advance,
Tyler

Try:

http://www.bigfoot.com/

their basic service which lets you get I think 20 or 25 emails per day is
free. They have other premium services which they charge for, beyond
that, I don't know any other details about that, you may want to check
out their web page. There's also

http://www.pobox.com/

which is not free, but that's all I know about them. Hth.

Re: Email services

[Laura Eaves]

Hi Tyler -- hmm -- that's weird -- actually have you tried straight yahoo 
rather than yahoogroups?  Or do you mean the same thing?
Anyway, on yahoo, if you have the pop3 access (which is what I assume you 
want) you can turn off spam blocking from the mail options page from one of 
the many links under mail options -- I think it is security or filtering or 
something.
I think the package is called "mailPlus" or something like that -- it is the 
cheapest level of paid yahoo mail service which provides pop access and also 
reading mail from up to 5 accounts plus smtp for reading mail from yahoo and 
2 gigs of storage, but you don't have a domain or anything else.
Anyway, I got it a long time ago and frankly hardly ever use it as it 
doesn't do all i want, but I don't like yahoo for a couple of reasons anyway 
and so am hesitant to upgrade my service, although you do get some 
interesting stuff, but they assume you want to run a business with that 
option.
I do get a tiny bit of email there so still read from it, but you know if I 
set it to read from my home email address on roadrunner, then I can't just 
connect to yahoo directly and read my home email -- I have to first go to 
the yahoo site and log in and mechanically read my home email then log off 
and go back to outlook express and then connect and read from yahoo, which 
is ridiculous.  Yhaoo doesn't check periodically. But that would not be a 
great idea either -- I was just testing out what it would do.
Take care.
Oh, and your new email addy is interesting -- I'm trying to figure out how 
you got "tspivey" -- well the t is understandable...
Oh, and canadian dollars last I checked were less in value than the US 
dollars, or has that changed lately?
In any case, when you say $29 in the US but $50 in canadian, that sounds 
turned around. Sorry if I'm confused.  Perhaps I should go to the site and 
see.
Take care.

Tyler,

Checkout "fastmail.fm" -- it's a great service, very reliable, low cost,
and you get to select from among a bunch of domain names to use if you
don't like "fastmail.fm".

Subject: OT: Email services


Does anyone have any suggestions on inexpensive, reliable email services? I
want an email address that will stay with me if I change isps, or have no
internet access at home (which is the case now). I've gone through about 5
free email services that just don't fit the bill - block certain addresses,
(e.g. yahoogroups), flaky smtp servers (or none at all!) or total
unreliability. Something that costs $29.95/year (e.g.
Runbox) seems promising until you convert to Canadian dollars, which will
run up to about $50.
This one seems to work, but I don't want to find myself changing emails
weekly.
Thanks in advance,
Tyler

Hi, Tyler:

The only way I know to guarantee your own address is to have your own
domain name.
This would work even if you don't have the ability to host your own
domain name right now. And, wherever you do host your domain name, you
could easily arrange to have your mail forwarded--or not, as your
circumstances dictate.

This is the only way I can think of to guarantee yourself a life long
address.

If Linux can't solve your computing problem, you need a different problem.

Um have you tried fetchyahoomail?  I think that's the name of it.  I haven't but
in theory, I don't think you need the special pop access from yahoo to use this
option.
