F**kYou...is an email company which allows you to carry that polite message as part of your email address. Prepare to receive messages from xxxx@f**kyou.co.uk as the site becomes more popular...or not because it might not be very good. Well let me tell you whether you should bother or not.
The first thing which strikes you about this site is the garish blue and orangecolour scheme. Not the most inviting of colours and not the easiest to read homepage either. Still you won't care about anything they have to say here, or try to redirect you too, but go straight to the sign-up anyway, so who cares. Well the nasty colour schemecontinues throughout sadly, but you get used to it, hard on the eyes though it remains. Anyway, you click the link to take you to the sign up pages and are greatted with a few registration questions. At the end of these is a long list of things to sign up for, the usual suspects, so you'll want pto pass on by these - they are all American anyway so you can't benefit from them, just get spammed. You have to go through each of these selecting yes/no in turn which is a nuisance. More of a nuisance when you find that for some reason, typing a space in your postcode is unacceptable so you have to do it again - but...they have kindly ticked all the boxes YES as opposed to the original NO you put in them. We know where this site gets its money from, but does it have to try to force their advertising on you - well apparently yes. This sort of thing annoys me, and immediately the site was in my bad books.
It stayed there.
Once registered you sign into your account and find that you have a welcoming message. Lovely, nice of thm to be so sweet. Next thing you'll notice is the pop-up window appearing. Close that wnader around a bit and along comes the next, and the next...and the next! This site is riddled with pop-ups so you spend half your time closing them before you can get on with what you are meant to be doing. I hate po-ups so as you can imagine this isn't ideal.
Other than that, what you actually get for your registration s the most basic of basic email ccounts. I suppose its not meant to be your main email account but instead just a bit of fun, but a few useability features would have been nice. Instead, you get to read, compose and send emails and little else. The maximum size of your account can not excede 7Mb, and the largest file you can receive is 2Mb in size - the largest you can send is 1Mb. Umm, thats about it. Like, I said, its very basic.
so then, is it worth getting. Well, for a laugh its worth signing up, especially if you know someone who is going to get a kick out of receiving an email from you at that address. Otherwise, I guess not, when there are far better sites out there. It does run quite quickly and about 100 times faster than the hotmail account I am using at the moment which is access ridiculously slowly at present. Security features...no clue, they say they are secure but who knows, the same with what they do with your information. who knws until you start getting spammed left right and centre - I haven't so far. The bottom line is, if you are looking for a new email account then this probably ought not to be your first choice. But for a second/third...100th email account then by all means go ahead.
Advantages: none Disadvantages: not exactly user friendly
Novelty aside, rather than "email for the p*ssed off", the user will be the "p*ssed off". Firstly, the site builders have tried to be clever by using "normal" orange text on a blue table background (including the "forms" backgrounds), which makes is quite hard to see. Whilst this is obviously an attempt to make their site that little bit different, they should either consider using bolder text and/or change the colour scheme. Next up, no matter where ... ..."pop up windows" (the ones that interupt you with whatever you're doing and to carry on doing whatever it was you were doing, you have to close the window, which means you are 'forced' to read the adverts - all of which are US based and therefore a waste of time). "Email for the p*ssed off" all right. Now the important bit - functionality. Or lack of. Whenever one signs up and uses a email program, one can configure certain aspects. For example, ...

F*ck you! F*ck you all!!...is the novelty message behind this email provider. F*ckyou.co.uk gives you the opportunity to garner yourself an email address of the format: @f*ckyou.co.uk wooohoo!! The problem is that these 'novelty' addresses tend to wear off very quickly and the same is true of this one. The biggest problem is that they are generally not very god once you get to them and the chances of you using them for anything more than ... ...this one, it is about as basic as you can get.
The first thing which strikes you is the nasty, nasty, NASTY colour scheme - orange text on a blue background - which the site designers have decided to use. Spend too long here and you are guaranteed a headache eblieve me - the strain was beginning to show by the time I had goten through the registation process and had a quick mooch around the site. Not that there is much to actually explore of course. ...

Advantages: NO ADVANTAGES SO FAR. Disadvantages: EVERYTHING.
* PLEASE NOTE! THIS OP SHOULD HAVE BEEN PUT IN THE BUYER BEWARE urgent warnings about products/services SECTION. THIS WAS MY MISTAKE AND I DO APPOLOGISE. *
After reading some of the opinions on this free web based email site i thought i'd sign up for a laugh.
The site was easy enough to find and get on to.
After going through the whole registration process and choosing my user name and password.I was told i'd recieve a email on my hotmail account ... ...my FUCK YOU account.
After going all the way back through the login process with hotmail and clicking on the link i was told that my account was now activated.
