If you currently use TheMail.com, now is a good time to inform your contacts that you won't be using that e-mail address anymore.
However, if you do decide to continue your account with TheMail.com and pay them, this is what they claim you'll get:
- No ads - 10mb space - POP3 access - Auto POP3 retrieval - Merge Mail - Calendar/Reminder Service - File Manager - Lots of filters - Auto forward - Auto responding services - Wireless access
It's about $130 for lifetime use, $2 a month, or $20 per year. The free version that is about to be cancelled, has been unreliable, with the site being down frequently. Maybe with a paid for service TheMail.com will improve their servers, but it's a chance I don't want to take. Many other sites offer the same services, have a good uptime record, and do so for free.

Advantages: Web-based, pays you money, autoresponders Disadvantages: None really
UPDATED **********
I checked out TheMail the other day and they're up and offering a free e-mail service again. I joined up because it's a pretty good E-mail program with stuff like autoresponders and the like. You won't make money there but it is a damn fine E-mail provider, so check it out if you do need a decent service.
**************
There are a lot of web based e-mail providers around, but when TheMail started a couple of years ago, it kicked ... ...They promised that if you joined their service you would be able to get money from them.
Heard it all before, haven't you? Well, you'd be right, but I think it's important to tell the full story.
The basic premise was that once you had signed up with TheMail you should get other people to sign up by referring them in and getting them to indicate that it was you who referred them. This is done by using a unique URL which includes your member ID ...

Advantages: None Disadvantages: Where's the cash ?
Themail.com - get paid for receiving and reading email - well actually, get paid when any of those you refer open emails they receive. What a chance, think of all the emails you send to your mates, if only you could refer them, if only you could refer them all !! You could continue sending them everything - but even better, for every email they read you would get paid !! Wow !! You wouldn't get rich, but over time it was bound to mount up, and all ... ...sent email. But there was more - when your friends referred someone, you then got paid a smaller amount for every email read by your friend's referral - a double whammy in the nicest possible way, and this would continue down a chain !! I admit it, I'm a sucker for 'something for nothing' schemes (or should it be scams ?) and I signed up. Not only did I sign up, but so did my Mum, my best mate and a few other friends. I checked regularly, and sure ...

Advantages: User freindly, reliable, useful features Disadvantages: Very poor payout
...beginning it appeared that in Themail.com I'd found both of these things, the service was reliable, offering all the features we've come to expect from professional email packages (forwarding, folders etc.) It also had a scale of payouts which whilst not fantastic certainly added up when you took into account the 16 level referral structure (most programmes stop at 5.)
However, since that time things have started to change. The email system has ... ...(particularly outside the US) has been dramatically reduced, making it almost impossible to make more than a few cents without thousands of referrals each receiving hundreds of emails per week.
In short, if your looking for a fairly reliable user-freindly, web based email facility check out themail, if however you're looking to make any money - try something else, as this is unlikely to do it for you. ...

Advantages: issues LIBEL for free! Disadvantages: issues spiteful LIBEL! service isn't free. Unreliable.
themail.com used to offer a free email service, with all the usual add-ons we've come to expect from such sites. indeed, they still try to lure you in with promises of earning money simply for using email services.
The site is not as reliable as it should be. Even though I am in fast mode (which means somewhat fewer adverts, but thus no earnings), there are frequent error messages along the lines of 'Sorry, you got here before we were ready'. In ... ...Dotcom market conditions, TheMail.com is forced to charge a $1.99/month or $19.95/year for all email accounts that have been issued since December of 1999. Free online services, which were introduced a few years ago to boost user traffic and attract online advertising, are no longer feasible."
A friend asked them to close his account. Out of curiousity, I sent a subsequent test message to the deleted account, to check that it would 'bounce'. Bounce ...
