WZS 08-01-2001, 04:24 AM Well, it's not free but I use http://www.netmongol.com wired1 08-01-2001, 07:30 AM You can also use everyone.net, they have a free service with there banner ads, or a paid service with only your ads. http://www.everyone.net determinist 08-01-2001, 08:47 AM Just for your info, others are bigmailbox.com & chek.com... It i have a choice, i won't go for free emailing outsource, since advertising revenue are lessen nowsday, free provider had to add more ads (banners, popups, etc..) to cover their cost therefore (to what i know) many users are annoyed by the popups. brav0 08-01-2001, 09:22 AM Originally posted by wired1 You can also use everyone.net, they have a free service with there banner ads, or a paid service with only your ads. http://www.everyone.net Looks like everyone.net has been affected by the dot com bust and they have discontinued their free service (at least I can't find it on their site). They have 700.000 accounts (probably not all active) that they are trying to sell their new services to. I am using their email service for one of my sites and I have about 2000 subscribers. They have steadily increased the amount of advertising using pop-unders, etc and they give the impression that they are hurting financially (who isn't these days?). I hope they don't become dot gones, what a hassle to have to move 2000 accounts. lovelie 08-01-2001, 12:25 PM ehh.. i have an account at a bigmailbox site & god.. the popups annoy me. how many ads do they need? SoftWareRevue 08-01-2001, 12:42 PM I have an every1.net account. Of course I don't dare go there without popup killer:D Chicken 08-01-2001, 07:00 PM Originally posted by WZS Well, it's not free but I use http://www.netmongol.com What do you think of their service? The email service itself, support, etc.? Do your users like it? I've recommended it a few times with the disclaimer that I haven't used the service nor know anyone that they could ask. T'would be nice to have some info re: them. mikeknoxv 08-01-2001, 08:12 PM You can find a list of virtually ALL oursourcing email services at FEPG.NET (http://fepg.net)! WZS 08-02-2001, 04:29 AM Chicken: Well, the support is friendly and fast. Haven't seen it down at all since I started using the service even though they did have a harddisk failure in the beginning but I can't say whether any of my users were affected since I didn't have anyone at that time. I also sent several suggestions/wishes to them and the owner sounded like he was interested in implementing some of them. But everytime I ask about it now he doesn't answer the question but only the other questions I had in the same mail. A bit annoying but I'm still hoping. I have only heard good feedback from my users even though I don't really like any of the 22 different themes you can select :) Sorgboi 08-02-2001, 04:37 AM everyone.net - I saw this site a little while ago, but preferred http://www.bigmailbox.com for some reason. I've been considering it for a while, but have no experience with it I'm afraid. Sorg indiboi 08-02-2001, 04:43 AM i had been using bigmailbox... their support techs seem to have rocks for brains though... having to reexplain things generally three times before they semi-understood. After a good week and a half of the email still not working correctly I've given up. :mad: not to mention that you need to dodge about 80 opt-out spam offers just to get an email account setup... ::eewies:: Sorgboi 08-02-2001, 05:23 AM Noted with surprise :angry: everyone.net it is then! Sorg wired1 08-02-2001, 05:03 PM Everyone.net just sent out a survey today, so I suggested some more templates and design to chose from - I havnt been real exited about there existing templates either. But there page loading and service is very fast, easy setup too, I've been happy with them... Chicken 08-02-2001, 11:57 PM Originally posted by WZS ...even though I don't really like any of the 22 different themes you can select :) Yeah, to be honest, although they do have quite a few (I consider 22 to be quite a few) to choose from, I wasn't all that thrilled with the unprofessional look of them. They need a web designer. Even having one decent one would be better. Aside from that, I might give them a go myself for a few of the domains that I really don't have a clue what else to do with. you@satansmidgets.com ??? :D (Don't ask) indiboi 08-03-2001, 12:12 AM that's what i was planning on doing, but the frustration in getting it to actually work eventually had overridden the desire to do something with it. you@blueish.org ;-P WZS 08-03-2001, 02:32 AM One of my suggestions was to setup a design editor similar to what Community Architect offers so you can choose the different colors, buttons (or make your own) etc. Another suggestion was to pre-select a design that all your user should use aand they can't select other ones because I can live with the black/white design. |
