hotpop - new interface

**munchkin** · 9 Apr 2002, 01:59 AM

The webmail now is in beta, they offer different levels of service (basic, bronze, silver...) and the site is available in a hi-fi and a lite version for older browsers. Seems fine, however I was able to login via web with a bonbon.net address but was unable to do so with a phreaker.net address to change my forwarding address. I sent them an email but nobody home, just got an automated reply. I've been using the service for 2 years now and nothing to complain about so far...

i think hotpop is really "unreliable" because i cant never get my mail! even tho i provided the correct information that they gave me.

I've used hotpop before, they were ok for a while then they started giving me 'error' msgs. Like wrong password, *although my password is already saved and I've used it for countless times already* and unable to reach the server. Then there were times when it said 'invalid username'.
Why is it that it works really good for some and crummy for me?

Ahhh well.

I got the same password error... ruined it for me when I wanted to check the POP link from fastmail... fastmail would disable the link after 3 tries, even though I had the right pass and had used it before... I had to resort to using whatever mail client I had at the time, and sometimes spending 10 minutes telling the computer that yes, I wanted to use the same password...

but that was a few months ago, so it might have been fixed by now.. dunno
