Had enough of ntl e-mail? Read this.
 

The ntl e-mail problem is getting beyond a joke now, as we can see from this forum.

We came up with the idea of possibly helping people out. This thread is to gauge the interest to a possible mail service offered by nthw.

This would involve us giving pop3 mailboxes and forwarding addresses if required to members of this forum. You would be able to send and receive mail completely without using ntl's mail servers (so smtp and pop3), and would have access to a proper webmail service.

The accounts look as though they would be set up manually by us, so unfortunately you would not be able to change your e-mail address/forwarders without asking us. You would be able to change your password and redirect your e-mail elsewhere when required (e.g. hotmail for travelling)

We're not sure on the final details as we'd have to speak to our nice webhost first, but the service would either be free, or require a nominal donation (less that £5/year).

If you're interested, then please post here.

Defiantly, go for it guys.

Are you thinking of moving into BB and telly too? ;)

There's also a list of free pop3 suppliers here:

If I hadn't already paid for alternative email provision in order to bypass ntl's shockingly poor service, I'd be jumping at this. I think you should go for it - there will be plenty of people who will jump at the chance to be somebody @nthellworld.co.uk :D

:wavey: Go for it guys I for 1 will have go with it. Broadband Internet too?!!!!!!! :spin:

same here - I've already taken up the nthw special offer from I-Web Solutions, otherwise I would go for this. Actually, depending on the pricing, I might go for this as well, just for the addy;):)

Heh fraid not just yet :D

Re: Had enough of ntl e-mail? Read this.
 

To be honest, my email has been quite decent ( by Ntl's standards ) for months now. However, I have had a Zen account for 7 years now and they are an ultra reliable backup. And also tax deductable.:naughty:

Re: Had enough of ntl e-mail? Read this.
 

An interesting idea - not one I will use as I can host my own e-mail if I need it - but I'm sure many would take up the offer.

And if you find you get overwhelmed with requests I'm always willing to help out. :)

Re: Had enough of ntl e-mail? Read this.
 

I would be interested.

Re: Had enough of ntl e-mail? Read this.
 

I'd be interested.

Re: Had enough of ntl e-mail? Read this.
 

Are you in the process of starting up this idea?

Re: Had enough of ntl e-mail? Read this.
 

mmmmm
An interesting concept and the spam assasin software installed on the servers is very effective in the job that it does one other aspect that is also worth noting that you can also set email rules on the server much the same way you can set them on OE
I only wish that NTL could setup some sort of spam filtering software on theier email servers as it is i am inundated with spam going to 1 email addy that i have with ntl.

Re: Had enough of ntl e-mail? Read this.
 

I don't think 13 people responding to this thread will start the ball rolling yet, I would say at least 30 to 40 people showing an interest to make it worthwhile.

You will always get some that will drop out at the last minute.

Re: Had enough of ntl e-mail? Read this.
 

yeah me too. I use Mailwasher which is very effective but you have to manually bounce all the junk mail. I had 30 mails this morning, 28 of which were junk mainly offering drugs and porn!

Re: Had enough of ntl e-mail? Read this.
 

I never seem to have any serious problems......but every now and again the spam gets bad.....so yea!

Re: Had enough of ntl e-mail? Read this.
 

Nice idea guys.... I must admit, my mail is very smooth, never had a problem with it since i stopped using NTL's mail servers...

I doubt id be going in for it, but im sure many will :) ;)

Re: Had enough of ntl e-mail? Read this.
 

Wow 28 emails this morning all junk mail well for the past 4 weeks i have been monitoring my junk mail just to see how many i get and to date over the past 4 weeks i have recieved 5014 junk emails all to the same email addy
i am seriously thinking of forwarding them all on to the MD of ntl

Re: Had enough of ntl e-mail? Read this.
 

Count me in - especially if there is anti-spamLee

Re: Had enough of ntl e-mail? Read this.
 

Just a quick thing, would people be interested in choosing an alternative domain name?

Or would everyone be happy with nthellworld.co.uk??

I.E

yourname@nthwemail.co.uk
or
yourname@more-email.com

If thats the case, any suggestions on what domains people would like?

Re: Had enough of ntl e-mail? Read this.
 

Personally, it does not matter to me, as I have a registered .co.uk email address, and this will just be forwarded onto any new address

Re: Had enough of ntl e-mail? Read this.
 

I will definatly be interested :)

Re: Had enough of ntl e-mail? Read this.
 

All in all I don't have much trouble with what I do have.After all I use one NTL addy as a spam trap.If the other one ever becomes compromised however I would be interested,if you do have spam filtering. :)

Incog.

Re: Had enough of ntl e-mail? Read this.
 

I have to 'declare an interest' - KP already provides me with a paid for domain. - thanks KP:)

However I would be happy with an @nthellworld.co.uk, addy, if it does become possible:)

@nthwemail.co.uk next?

Gaz

Re: Had enough of ntl e-mail? Read this.
 

I would have it just for the addy alone.

Re: Had enough of ntl e-mail? Read this.
 

Me three :-)

Re: Had enough of ntl e-mail? Read this.
 

We shortly hope to have nthellworld.co.uk e-mail accounts available for members, with online signup for a mailboxes once we have moved servers.

Re: Had enough of ntl e-mail? Read this.
 

I am all for it !!!!!

Re: Had enough of ntl e-mail? Read this.
 

now that is a top move in my opinion :)

Re: Had enough of ntl e-mail? Read this.
 

Great! :) .....does this mean we wouldn't have to use NTL email servers anymore?

Re: Had enough of ntl e-mail? Read this.
 

maybe a silly question? , but are you thinking of the mailbox having to have our forum nick, i.e. for me homealone at nthellworld.co.uk, or could it be anything, so long as it is unique?

Re: Had enough of ntl e-mail? Read this.
 

Yep.

Usernames would be whatever you want atm. More details soon.

Re: Had enough of ntl e-mail? Read this.
 

I take it that it can be any name @nthellworld.com !!

I cant believe that you have a deal to buy domain names free. If you have I will have your babies !!! :naughty:

Ooops the wife was watching...... Sorry sweetheart !!! BANG OWW

Re: Had enough of ntl e-mail? Read this.
 

@nthellworld.co.uk ;) But yea any username as far as I know so far :)

Re: Had enough of ntl e-mail? Read this.
 

Count me in! Passwords are being rejected today - yet again :grind:

Re: Had enough of ntl e-mail? Read this.
 

:welcome: to the site , months :eek: :eek: :eek: , waste of time e-mailing them try ringing c.s. and ask them , it is a free call :)

Re: Had enough of ntl e-mail? Read this.
 

Any idea what timescales are for this - NTL seem to be loosong some of my emails - and the sooner I move the better!

Hope this has not been delayed due to the 'problems' experienced recently.

Re: Had enough of ntl e-mail? Read this.
 

I can't wait to see this service being implemented, count me in !!!

Re: Had enough of ntl e-mail? Read this.
 

I did offer 5 free spam and virus filtered accounts a while ago but no-one was interested..... :(

Cant say I did not try and help....

Re: Had enough of ntl e-mail? Read this.
 

Maybe they are waiting for the servers e-mail problems to be sorted before launching this - it wouldn't look very good if it failed the day after. :)

Re: Had enough of ntl e-mail? Read this.
 

True :D

Re: Had enough of ntl e-mail? Read this.
 

I'll have one!

Re: Had enough of ntl e-mail? Read this.
