What Web Based E-mail Do You Use?

Thorbar · 21-01-2003 12:26AM #1

Just curious what other people use for their online email and why you use that particular site. Might as well start the ball rolling I use Oceanfree.net because its free and can hold up to 5 megs. Its also fairly fast and after about a years use I haven't had any major problems.

www.yourass.com

5 megs, quick servers, and a cool name too (<yourname>@yourass.com)

Depending on what I want
Eircom.net
Hotmail
Yahoo.com
I even had a @tomgreen.com address once

Sometime Oceanfree.

o2.ie, 20megs:D

i use it to get mail from my pop accounts - punkass.com (one of hotpop.com's free domains) and eircom.net

oh yeah, with o2 you effectively get 2 email addresses xxx@dol.ie and xxx@o2.ie

Space Coyote · 21-01-2003 12:06PM

O2, Hotmail, Yahoo, Mail2Web to delete those huge attachments sent by muppets and so forth

GoneShootin · 21-01-2003 12:09PM

Eircom (i cant help it, i like the webmail bit)
Yahoo (pop accounts handy dandy)

Goodshape · 21-01-2003 12:12PM

online.ie

There web-based stuff is actually very nice, but you can use the account with an email client aswell (not sure if this is the norm nowadays) - so I'd check my mail via the webpage while in college, then download the lot with pegasus when I get home.

Mail filtering and all that aswell, although I'm quite cautious about distributing my email addy, so I havn't had any need for it.

...oh yea, it free too. bonus.

JohnK · 21-01-2003 12:57PM

Yahoo mail for me

I have a rude one from datapimp... b a r d @ f u c k o f f . c o m - you don't need three guesses as to why I own that one.

I also have a web interface for my personal and work email accounts and a Yahoo!Mail account that I never use.

No, not when it's Outlook 10 (XP) set to block all scripts and executables you cant!

Damn you Bard. I'd say something smart here but it's true...

My real-life persona has his full name .net. It costs money for the privledge of using his own surname and even then it's a bit up and down at the moment. But chicks dig it*

*possibly not

I use my eircom email account for MSN. I don't think much people know that any address can be used for MSN/MSN Messenger, all you have to do is get a MSN "passport" (or something).

I use eircom.net (usually pop3), only use the web based part when away from my computer.

Used to use Hotmail, but I don’t like it with Outlook and when I didn’t use Outlook my account kept getting cancelled.

Yea but a flag pops up everytime you get a new email, though 99% of my hotmail emails are spam! Plus I'd have to transfer all my MSN contacts

wiensta · 21-01-2003 10:21PM

Hotmail, not too adventurous but it works ok.

Panda · 22-01-2003 12:44PM

I used to have more addresses than a small country but some die, some are just bastids who ask for money.
ireland.com and another.com being the money grabbers.

atm i have addresses at
campus.ie (loads of room for e-mails and file storage)
beer.com (3mb only but the address is teh win)
budweiser.com (3mb only but the address is teh win)
whatthe****.com (this is an utter piece of ****, cant really compose an email and reading one can be hazardous to ones health, but the address is teh win)

had one at www.www.com aswell but it changed software and deleted my account, bastids.
