Hi Warren,
I know I haven't been that active on the mailing list recently but I've
been catching up tonight, reading through all the messages that look
interesting.
I noticed you suggested http://www.fastmail.fm/ for free email. They
seem really good from what their website says. I like that they offer
accounts for just a one time fee and you get your own sub-domain! Also
they have IMAP over SSL access, which is what I always look for.
I actually was looking for a free email service a while back and
eventually found myrealbox.com after a long time spent of searching on
the web. myrealbox.com also offers web mail and POP and IMAP, and also
supports connections over SSL. It's really supposed to be a
demonstration of what Novell's NetMail software can do for business
that want to setup their own email server. I'm generally pleased with
it. The only reason I bring it up is because there are some limits I
noticed for fastmail.fm's free account where you're not supposed to
exceed 40MB/month of email transfer which seemed odd, and you're not
supposed to use the free account for business. I don't know for sure
but I don't think myrealbox.com has anything like that. I just wanted
to let you know about another free email service that seems pretty
good. Thanks for letting me know about fastmail.fm I might give them a
try sometime in the future.
