Hi Warren,

I know I haven't been that active on the mailing list recently but I've been catching up tonight, reading through all the messages that look interesting. I noticed you suggested http://www.fastmail.fm/ for free email. They seem really good from what their website says. I like that they offer accounts for just a one time fee and you get your own sub-domain! Also they have IMAP over SSL access, which is what I always look for. I actually was looking for a free email service a while back and eventually found myrealbox.com after a long time spent of searching on the web. myrealbox.com also offers web mail and POP and IMAP, and also supports connections over SSL. It's really supposed to be a demonstration of what Novell's NetMail software can do for business that want to setup their own email server. I'm generally pleased with it. The only reason I bring it up is because there are some limits I noticed for fastmail.fm's free account where you're not supposed to exceed 40MB/month of email transfer which seemed odd, and you're not supposed to use the free account for business. I don't know for sure but I don't think myrealbox.com has anything like that. I just wanted to let you know about another free email service that seems pretty good. Thanks for letting me know about fastmail.fm I might give them a try sometime in the future.

Hotmail accounts very frequently bounce messages due to their extremely
small storage quota.  I had been manually deleting these bounces for
years now, but it is a bit annoying for me.  From this day forward I
will be unsubscribing hotmail accounts who bounce more than 3 times.

As an alternative mail service, please consider this free webmail
service:
http://www.fastmail.fm

They are run by some BSD users in Australia, with a larger free quota,
extra services like spamassassin, webmail and IMAP access. I don't know
them personally, but their webpage seems to be brutally honest (to a
point of saying known bugs and future plans) and a few of my friends are
using them now.
