I have been with this site for over three years. Every day I have received 20 spam; e-mail into my inbox. These have been mostly from Nigeria asking for help to reclaim monies lost in power struggles never reply too them they are a racket. I tried to delete my account but could not once set up it can not be deleted.
Recently I received an e-mail from America telling me my credit card had been debited hundreds of dollars by some one whom bought a camera in the US. If I wanted the sale cancelled I needed to input my credit card details onto the computer! This is another scam never reply. The more obvious it is the more you should be wary.
The features of this email site included advertising pop ups when you look at your e mails right in your face stuff all very annoying then; if like me advertising holds no interest to you having adverts in your face every time an e-mail is looked at.
Features are few normally I want to just delete my e-mail only 20 can be deleted at a time a days worth of spam so once after not looking for six months I had to spend all after noon looking through and deleting mail.
I was attracted to this service by the domain names mine is kellyj@myself.com others available include earthling.net mindless.com mad.scientist.com cheerful.com. It is an easy sign up needing only the usual form of a name, address, date of birth, name of mother's father etc.
Features on the site main e mail page include Delete, Move to, Report Spam, Flag/Un flag, simple stuff. If you click on the subject of the email, you are taken to the email content useful things as: Flag, Reply, Reply all, Forward, Delete, Move to, Previous/Next, Printable version. You have a mail.com save address and block sender for spam which is laborious to use and ineffective as these people change they address every time they send some thing.
An address book a search advertisers feature and calendar which can be used to note appointments are included as features. E cards are available and a few games.
Overall keep away unless you like pop up ads in your face and spam from notorious criminal gangs blocking up your in box. I prefer lycos and bt.co.uk myself.
Advantages: all the regular email features, web based system, reliable and secure, choice of email addys Disadvantages: not much
Mail.com is another web based email service like Hotmail, Yahoo, Excite, Bigfoot etc. So why choose Mail.com over any of those? Well for one thing what do you want from your email? A secure retrievable service. Maybe something memorable as an email address? Well you could choose from several occupations, say like fredsmith@engineer.com - or say you are a Londoner, you could have fredsmith@london.com. Not bad is it - surely a bit more personal than ... ...a webmail rather than your ISP's regular email service? For one thing suppose your ISP ups its price and you want to move to another rival service (as we have done with AOL and moved to NTL where it's free 24/7), then you've got to change your email address. You may not be able to have the same name even. If you used to be fredsmith@aol.com and change to say NTL, they may already have a Fred Smith registered and you may have to be FSmith@... or even ...

Advantages: Free, Fast, Fairly Reliable Disadvantages: Lots of Adverts
...I have been using mail.com for this very purpose for over a year now. Mail.com offers a relatively simple sign up procedure and offers you the choice of many 'domain' address to choose from, which range from @profssional.com to @cutey.com there are many to choose from and you should be able to find one which suites. The mail server itself is fast and writing new mail is a fairly simple task and of course there is a handy online address book with ... ...to users, the service is funded through relentless advertising. There are pop up windows when you login besides the glaring adverts all over the pages, but with the current state of online advertising rates at the moment its hardly surprising. I also lost all my previous emails and was unable to log on to my account for two months after the software which runs the site was updated at Easter.
By using mail.com, you are of course doing the world a ...

Advantages: Very relaible. No lost mail Disadvantages: Complicated folder set-up
I don't really use my mail.com account that much anymore, but I did/do use it enough to be able to write a reasonable opinion. I found mail.com by searching for free email sites on yahoo. There was something about it there that made it stand out from the rest. I used it quite successfully for a number of months and never had on problem. You get a choice of domain names when you first sign up. These are not really the most original names but it doesn't ... ...address I'd recommend www.another.com where the choice of funny domain names is just huge. This on nestles somewhere in between the likes of yahoo and another.com that I just mentioned. It very functional and reliable.
The site is well designed, and access to incoming mail is easy. It pops up fast. Sometimes though, its as iff it doesn't load properly. I found that by clicking on the get new mail button, it all comes up straight away. The only problem ...

Advantages: divert your mail wherever you want it Disadvantages: Free divert service now stopped, occasionally loses mail.
...was right, after converting the mail.com users to subscription, they are now doing the same to iname. Bye bye !
IF they would guarantee a failsafe service, I might subscribe. But they cant, and while I will put up with the occasional missing mail, or route important stuff to my isp account directly (thus removing the need for a redirect) if I am paying for a service, I expect it to work without error. I dont use on line mail storage, and have never ... ...in its popularity (but will never be honest enough to say so, the dot com world relies so heavily on hype) and I believe that Mail.com will go the same way, keep in mind that they dont have the income from the other activities that yahoo does to sustain it. ...

Advantages: quick log-in Disadvantages: spam, not the food type
...why the internet was invented. Mail.com is a very reliable service that has taught me something about real quality consumer online services, and I'm demanding when it comes to online services. I have 6 email accounts with Mail.com, because I like the variety of domains Mail.com has. The domain list is long and varied, personalising your own email address without going through the palava of committing to a paid service, this is what Mail.com has provided ... ...many addresses you may require. Mail.com has also a new interface for premium service users.
Over the 2 years of having email accounts with Mail.com. I've had no problems at all in logging onto any accounts. I believe this email service is much better equipped for volumn traffic than MSN's Hotmail service, or Yahoo's.
The easy to use navigation is the key point to volumn traffic. The user is in and out very quickly, if we were in the wild west, ...
