inbox.net any good?

pressureguy · 19 May 2003, 02:22 AM

Has anyone here used inbox.net?
I tried to sign up last week to test it, but they were operating at 90% capacity and were not taking new users.
I got an account today to play around with, but am not sure if I would trust it or not.

I have a couple of Inbox.net accounts and have been using them for almost a year now. No problems so far, no spam, and only down a couple of times. The things I like about Inbox.net is that it's free, you get 10mb storage, there are no taglines, you can change the look of the interface, and there is a forum dedicated to help, comments, etc.

Hopes this helps.

I had a bit of a problem with it just now. I tried to email my mail.com email address to test it and it bounced back.
Apparently, mail.com (hosted by Outblaze) does not accept any mail from inbox.net due to it being a hotbed of spammers. Go to spews.org to read their reasoning.
Anyway about it, it looks like inbox.net is getting spanked for something it probably could not reasonable control.

I had an account there. I didn't see any real problems, but nothing to really shout about either.

Mail2World is better.

But Mail2World accounts have taglines!

and @inbox.net is really a cool domain. I will love to have such an @domain.net sacrificing any lack of features that it does'nt have, as after all to a receipient, only @domain.net address of the sender is visible and not any other additional feature that any email service has..

They also have some other nice domains like explorer.org and discovery.org

Mail.com isn't host by Outblaze. Mail.com have their own engine.
