Serious, no nonsence answer required from those that know
 

I would appreciate the very best suggestions for mail providers that anyone can provide. ntlworld is not an option any more.
Not AOL, BT, Yahoo either. There's a decent German provider that I read about recently, and have since forgotten about, but any serious suggestion would be very welcome.

Hotmail? If i had a GMail invite id send it but i dont.

Yup have resorted to Hotmail all week.

It's erm - limited though.

Appreciate the answer, Wayne.

Thanks - I'll look into them.

But, waaaa, just at the moment emails that were sent/received within a few seconds, no, come to think of it weeks, would be fine. ms seconds - better, ns oh, well - maybe one day.

But I will look into them.
Thanks.

Wayne,

I'd reccomend www.fastmail.fm - you don't get huge amounts of storage but you do get a very slick interface which loads really quickly and is very well laid out. You get IMAP access as standard with a guest - free + ad's account, member US$14 ish one-time only payment, no ads 10MB ish storage. If you want POP access then you pay extra for that, upgrade to full service is USD39,99 a year then you get 150MB storage. IMAP is better anyway. Web based access or configurable through Outlook Express / Outlook. Point is it is a very good service and I'm happy with it.

The interface is a lot slicker than Gmail by the look's of it, can be "skinned" as well with templates that they provide.

if you do sign up, enter my username rockrabbit@fastmail.fm as the referrer. Cheers, Steve

I don't need storage at all. Well - only temporarily ).

"Web based access or configurable through Outlook Express / Outlook". sounds good. But I'd be happy to "upgrade to full service is USD39,99". I'm assuming there's a facillity to allow a GBP account to send USD? When I've subscribed to stuff in the past I go for top rate - otherwise I know I'll get pestered to do it forever. Not a problem.

Bless you, Steve, for the referral.

No other replies?
I just need a reliable service that will allow me to send/receive within a reasonable time, fw jokes etc. ?

It's not that tricky, surely.

www.spymac.com :)

Re: Serious, no nonsence answer required from those that know
 

Wayne, your welcome...I can't give you full details as I can't get access to the page just now...have a look yourself...

The signup is all done over SSL & Paypal so it's pretty secure, no need to sign up to Paypal if you haven't got an account....

Re: Serious, no nonsence answer required from those that know
 

Neil - good advice, I'm sure.
"Up to 2500 MB of storage space" Wow!
Thanks.

No, folks, I just want to send and receive emails reliably. And maybe forward the odd joke now and again.):bigcry:

Re: Serious, no nonsence answer required from those that know
 

All my emails go through my ISP (Pipex) :angel:

Never had one issue. :tu:

Re: Serious, no nonsence answer required from those that know
 

GMail seems pretty reliable - and 1Gb storage is more than enough.

Unfortunately I don't have any invites ATM :(

Re: Serious, no nonsence answer required from those that know
 

GMail it is then.

How? (

I'd email my friends to see if they could help me out - if the email was working!
How ironic. )))

Re: Serious, no nonsence answer required from those that know
 

Unfortunately you need to be invited - and I have no invites ATM....

Re: Serious, no nonsence answer required from those that know
 

Could you send me a PM indicating what your trying to say in plain English because i dont understand.

Re: Serious, no nonsence answer required from those that know
 

Neil's already suggested SPYMAC
I'll second that suggestion.
Think Gmail, but with public open signup,and the added bonus of web & photo gallery space. It also supports pop & smtp access. Nuff said !!!

Re: Serious, no nonsence answer required from those that know
 

Thanks MetaWrath, and Neil too.

Always happy to listen to advice from those that know.

Do you use Spymac yourself? There's nothing better than a personal recommendation.
