modem Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 With all of the recent cutbacks and "restrainments" on free web based email providers such as Hotmail, I thought I'd create a poll and just see what everyone's opinion on all of this is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurting101 Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 I'm sticking with hotmail until the bitter end, as a secondary account. The end is near my friends, the end is near. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroChaos Veteran Posted July 5, 2002 Veteran Share Posted July 5, 2002 i use both. i agree though, free webmail is coming to end probably. or at least any decent ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modem Posted July 5, 2002 Author Share Posted July 5, 2002 I agree and hopefully I can salvage some users for my WebMail that I'm working on. www.modemnet.net is my business and I've really tried hard especially recently to make my webmail be a bit better than the others. Will it give everyone the high flying precision of Hotmail with a 45 billion dollar company behind them? No. But will it give the end user all the features hotmail is taking away with a clean interface? Now that is a definate yes. If you are looking at a webmail provider check my site out. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKer Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 I use easynews mail now, nice and simple without restriction, although I think you have to be an easynews subscriber to use it. Have a msn account but only use that to communicate with other people when they choose the email option on messanger. Also use a free POP account sometimes and keep my ISP account to use for business. Unfortunatly our webscanners/proxies at work prevent any webmail access as it's against company security policy (due to viruses) to allow webmail access :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzla Veteran Posted July 5, 2002 Veteran Share Posted July 5, 2002 My @Mac account is pretty much perfect, no limits, no spam, can use it with Microsoft Entourage, Outlook express, Outlook, Mail etc. Pretty sweet account, I can access it from PC's as well which helps.

Dazzla Veteran Posted July 5, 2002 Veteran Share Posted July 5, 2002 Originally posted by Wickedkitten 5 meg limit :( even still thats 3 mb more than hotmail Never knew that. I'm far far away from approaching that. I only use my @Mac account to contact people I know. The @theseed.net is used for signing up to stuff.

shockz Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 I use MSN Hotmail... for some weird reason I don't get junk mail like everybody else does. Since I don't usualy send attachments anyways - the limited 512k files size doesn't bother me, and since I usualy delete mail or move it to my hard drive the 2 MB limit for storage doesn't bother me either.
