[luau] Hotmail Users - Read This

[Tom Hackett]

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.
