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.

Re: ntl to launch new mail platform
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 ??

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?

Re: ntl to launch new mail platform
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. 
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.

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

Indeed 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
