Thoughts?

Re: ntl to launch new mail platform
 

any idea on timescales?

Re: ntl to launch new mail platform
 

Nope, I guess that's for ntl to Communicate, in which case I guess we'll see it when it arrives.

All I see is a new email interface platform. Considering I already use OE and Opera M2, how will this improve ntl's email server operations ?? :rolleyes:

Re: ntl to launch new mail platform
 

I can't help but feel it's mainly a hardware issue, with mail servers that simply cannot cope with the amount of mailboxes they are offering (15 for each customer)

That would be unlike ntl wouldn't it? :rolleyes:

Re: ntl to launch new mail platform
 

Is it "Coming Soon"? :naughty: more importantly though is .... will it work?

Re: ntl to launch new mail platform
 

Yes, & no respectively!

Re: ntl to launch new mail platform
 

Very interesting, I didn't know NTL cared about its e-mail service. One assumes then that if this is the future we shall have guaranteed trouble free accessing and sending email. No more of those issues have been resolved messages!


:D

Re: ntl to launch new mail platform
 

Is that 'advance' as in working ?

All I want is to come home each day and find my inbox containing the days mail rather than 1001 dialogue windows stating that mailbox X didn't authenticate... saying that, I like the idea of finding less spam in the inbox....

The cynic in me says that what we will end up with is a 3rd party messenging application that will append adverts for NTL to every message & still not improve the performance of the hardware.:shrug:

Also - anyone know whether this will be opt in or compulsory? - that @nthellworld addy is looking increasingly attractive:)

That's a screenshot of the webmail interface. The actual software is a whole new e-mail platform. i.e. e-mail server.

Re: ntl to launch new mail platform
 

I'd be interested to see if this new email software will be any better than the existing one that NTL have now. I'm having enough trouble with the email at the moment. It's taking ages to get any to come through. We'll have to wait to see how long this takes to come about. :rolleyes:

Re: ntl to launch new mail platform
 

Yeh sorry, I didn't look too carefully. It still doesn't appear to address email server overload though ? :rolleyes: I presume ntl are hoping a more effective software solution will ease their hardware problems. :confused:

Re: ntl to launch new mail platform
 

i am with you on this one gaz :)

Re: ntl to launch new mail platform
 

Indeed :D I doubt that very much though, what with the new features. Rarely does a newer version of software use less resources, especially one with anti-spam and anti-virus features added.

Or maybe they are buying/have bought some new servers for their e-mail platform.

You know what is really sad in all this though? ntl just DO NOT communicate :mad:
