Hell Everyone,

I would like to inform you that I have been busy lately on my deaf website and it has been a success and I am very proud of it. I would like to make few annoucements for you people who want tools for email services.

Since for months, months, everyone.net provides wonderful services for webmasters who want to give out free email accounts under @domain.com which is a good traffic and they have been doing this for year or more I think.

However, at this point, everyone.net has been pushing too much Adversiting around thier website and community boards even chat rooms too. Thier email system has banner ads which gives you 50/50 but I find that unnessecary. I researched myself little that they give 30/50 becuase mostly they dont give a crap about it.

I signed up for thier Plugin Ad, my site is having traffic but I was surprised they pay me as much as 11 cents so far and I was pissed, they are full of crap and they talk sh*t from thier mouth. Yeah they are rich and selfish!

Thier support is very slow and terrbile, many, many, many angry webmasters have been blabbing agaisnt everyone.net for improvements and they are idiots and dont know what they are doing. Therefore, they suck.

I have over 500 email accounts under my domain and me and Calors @ WizardsHosting have been having this problem for 3 months and we were trying to get it work and sadly, it failed and we dont know why, they have been rejecting all emails we send a test email. Effective today I had decided to pull the plug with them even all services with them.

For webmasters who use everyone.net or plan to signup, I want give you a concern and look at this very seriously and realized how suck they are and market site ever I seen. I rate them #0 and they are the worst ever. If people need free email, they can go to Yahoo, Hotmail, tough .. Life is Life! I cant afford to loose my emails anymore.

If you plan to offer free emails, I suggest get your own server and scripts and run off from it so you will be happy and 100% customizeable and control! Trust me I know...


Thank you for your valueable time and concern about my issues with everyone.net. Once again, have a nice weekend

Cheers!

Regards,
Jsoeph

Someone posted on another site about a month to 6 weeks ago that they were doing away with their message boards, but I still see them everywhere.

Well, I have never used (from a webmaster's perspective) either Everyone.net or BigMailBox.com. However, I have used both from a users perspective (I have one e-mail account on a site that uses Everyone.net, and accounts on 2 sites that use BigMailBox.com), and I have to tell you that from a user's perspective I really prefer Everyone.net.

I've found that when I need to access mail from BigMailBox.com, I could go make a sandwich, eat it, wash it down with a soda, and have some cake for desert, and by the time I came back to the computer it'd *still* be trying to get into my mailbox. I'm not joking - it typically takes 7 to 10 minutes for my mailbox (with only about 40 messages left in it) to download to my browser in BigMailBox.com.

With Everyone.net, it takes about a minute and a half for the exact same thing.

FYI, I"m on a 56K modem, and going to Hotmail, my mailbox downloads in about 20 seconds. So neither Everyone.net nor BigMailBox.com is particularly speedy when you compare with Hotmail or YahooMail. But, frankly, given the choice between Everyone.net and BigMailBox.com, I'll take Everyone.net any day of the week (from a user perspective).

Now, as I said, I've never used either one of them from a webmaster perspective. I have, however, been recommending Everyone.net to my customers for over a year. I've rarely gotten any complaints from customers about them, and still see 3 to 4 customers request Everyone.net DNS setups each week. I don't see many asking to remove those setups.

All I can say is, both Everyone.net and BigMailBox.com is giving their services away for free. That being the case, you really can't complain if it doesn't go your way. This is a free service - they make no guarantees and you shouldn't expect any.

Thanks,

Jason

All that whining about a free service? It's like people complaining when Hotmail goes down or something. Doesn't make me particularly sympathetic. If it's that important, do it yourself, or find someone reliable to do it for you and pay them to do it.

Didn't everyone.net provide pop services at one stage?

what are everyone's suggestions as to which script to use if you want to provide web based email to visitors?

preferably one without an AD or too much $$

Squirel mail is popular one. Its open source. A good place to start looking for free scripts would http://www.freshmeat.net

http://www.hotscripts.com and http://www.cgi-resources.com are also good resources.

Found this on squirrel mail:

And:
http://squirrelmail.sourceforge.net/

"Webmail for nuts" - that's kind of catchy, don't you think?

Are there any other remotely hosted co-branding alternatives?

1. i-p.com:
speed is okay, but *very* poor administration features.

2. outblaze.com co-branded:
the company that owns i-p.com Havent tried it. Also, ad-revenue split only if monthly hits > 100,000

3. zzn.com:
No domain support. Only subdomain: you@yourcompany@zz.com. Otherwise great. Runs on ASP.
Provides Free POP access, calendar, ICQ and pager notification, 3 MB.

4. Bigmailbox: haven't tried it. But the tour isn't imrepssive enough.

5. Evenyone.net: Good, but not giving integrated log-in for the past few months. Also, removed the support board which gave you a lot of useful info which *SUCKS*. Even if they stopped providing support through the board, they could have left the board alive instead of pulling it down. Runs perl on the server side - not so nice - they haven't heard of PHP perhaps. Wish they can separate the chat from the discussion board. I don't want to tie them up.

6. turbosport.com: Don't know how it works, if at all it does. Poor docs.

Are there any more out there?

Also, I want to enable chat on my website. I dont want a single chat room - multichat, etc. I want a service (similar to everyone.net chat) that my users can register, with preferably integrated login. Java applet preferred. A combined instant messenger will be gr8. I can give upto 90% or even 100% of the ad-space to them. All I need is good features and service. Somebody please suggest me something. i-p.com is okay, but poor administration features.

Thanks.

Wing.

Eventhough these claims about everyone.net may well be right, one should always exercise caution without rushing to judgment untill you actually talk to them I have a lot of friends using them without problems.
