Email Services

HarryLime · 25th February 2002, 00:26

I've noticed the onslaught of email service bashing lately- and coupled with the fact that my Altavista email service is ending business come March 31st; I thought it would be a good time to get some ideas about a reliable, and spam-free service. So, what do you guys use or recommend?

ZipLip is quite good. Good, secure email service.

...but will they be around for a while? How long have they been up for? I am looking for a service with longevity.

www.myrealbox.com

Ad free, spam free, IMAP, POP3, 10mb inbox... everything you could possibly ask for. Their servers go down for abou 1/2hr every week or so, though. Nothing serious.

I have absolutely no idea.

But I'm sure you can email them and ask.

Another one that might work is MuchoMail. You can find out more info about their service at the website.

Good luck with your search!

I hear yahoo is quite good.

I had a yahoo account for one day and it was filled with spam. Then they promted me with a warning saying that my allowed space was filled and that it would cost $9.99 to gain more space. Yahoo! NO THANK YOU!

Thats why you attain multiple accounts at each e-mail service. One dies, you still have the other to work with.

Actually I checked out myrealbox and they seem rather reputable. I think I will be using their services- thanks RM.

Interesting. That has never happened to me. I like Yahoo mail. I don't get that much spam. And it seems to be fine for me.
