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 March, the following appeared at their site:
"Due to 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 it did, but with a statement that is pure LIBEL:
'This user is a known spammer and cannot send/receive email'.

It is amazing to see such spite on their part, simply because someone didn't want to pay $1.99/month for a previously free service!
