Question for you-Any NEW changes at Tuffmail

EdinwolfPA · 15 Feb 2011, 02:58 AM

Hello,

I have not heard Tuffmail being discussed on the EMD forum for some time (since August 2010).

Is anyone currently using Tuffmail?

Has there been any changes to the service, etc since the company has been under new management (according to the two EMD threads below)?

Just curious.

Thanks for any information.

Yes. And as solid as ever.

Only Roundcube is updated to v0.4.2 on the beta site. Furthermore, there is not much development (at least not visible for the end-user). In generally the response on support questions are still pretty fast, but I asked Derek in december last year for update to the latest version of DIMP, because the current one won't work in IE8. It's still not done.

I am using Tuffmail daily (IMAP) and everything works as good as ever...

Yes, but don't use Squirrelmail.

Composing HTML in Squirrelmail only works in Internet Explorer. As a good alternative use Roundcube on the beta server.

Thanks Berenburger. I appreciate your info.

No changes: rock solid as ever for me. What seems to be missing from other IMP implementations that I've tried is the Virtual Inbox feature, where shows any new mail delivered to any of my subfolders/aliases in one big "virtual" e-mail box. That's a big plus for me right there.

I do periodically back up both Hotmail and Tuffmail to my local hard drive using Mailstore just in case.

It is my understanding that a user must host his own domain mail as no tuffmail domain is available. Is this correct?

According to this:

http://www.tuffmail.com/trial.php?account_select=1

I am under the impression, that tuffmail does have its own domain available, and you don't necessarily need your own.

Assuming this information is correct, I dont know if they have more than one domain available to use.

Tuffmail used to offer email addresses (I did have one @tuffmail.co.uk but I never renewed it), however looking at the sign up link, it seems that has returned.

Thanks David and walesrob for your info. Perhaps I'll check them out. If I decide to try Tuffmail, I hope the setup has been simplified.

Thanks so much Berenburger. I appreciate this info

I am giving tuffmail a try. Seems fine so far. In my opinion adding pop3 and auto forwarding would greatly enhance the service, bringing it up to FM and RB and Google's level.
