SDS Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I've been looking over the free email service we provide and I was wondering how many board members use it regularly. Traffic has been fairly level since we started it years ago. I'm looking for feedback to decide what to do with it, what experiences you have had, or how it could be better. Thanks...

When I log in - there is no spam whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarthur31 Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I had to change my account because of the copious amounts of spam. I think once the inbox was full and bounced messages the spammers got a clue and stopped sending but I'm not sure. I hope it was closed down to inactivity. I've since gotten another one I rarely use so it was all for naught. Messages sent to the trash are NOT deleted after a specified time and have to be removed manually.

BillsWatch Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I think they make accounts inactive if they are not checked once per month (maybe 3 months?) 584981[/snapback] I just checked mine and I have not checked it in months. No spam, no mail at all. I used to get one bunch of spam regularilly from one source which I think was the provider but they gave up on that. Oh and I have popup blocking and I just got a popup.

bill in Livonia Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I use it ocasionlyas a second address and I check it every day. There was a time that the spam was over the top but now there is almost none. I still get a pop-up and an advertisement window every time. I dislike how it doesn't open up directly to my mail. It also seem a bit slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
