Who's here?

Sure, no problem

eeism.com: eartheist (EMD user "eeism" is a user of eeism.com, not a staff member) (N.B. I couldn't connect to this site from the UK at 20:49 GMT on 20 October 2004; I don't yet know if this is temporary or permanent.)

Temporary, I guess. I just connected to it.

EmailBoutique.com: William Holmes (couldn't connect)

Down for me too.

Geekmail.com: gersham (couldn't connect)

You can clear this one from the list: http://www.emaildiscussions.com/...208#post188208

impactforum.com: hypermedia (couldn't connect)

Looks like the domains are no longer valid. I think this one is belly-up.

phatcom.net: marsel (couldn't connect)

Connection problem indeed. Domain is still valid, but "Network Problem, host not found".

Retroblue.com: dannywright99, baz191 (it's dead, Jim — DO NOT visit this site, you'll instantly be spammed by about half-a-dozen popups, most of them difficult to get rid of)

Domain expired, popups as Robert says (I only got 4 though, and they were simple to get rid of. Gotta love this browser )

SacMail.com: sacmail (warning, this is another site loaded with popup spam)

That is odd. No popups here.. they even say 'No Banners, No Popups' on their homepage.

SyntheticBliss.com/reflexnet.us: reflex (DNS error on second URL; didn't try first)

Both URLS confirmed to be down.

tmicha.net: starseeker (service works but has been taken over; so may not have a rep here anymore)

Firing off an email to Starseeker enquiring about the Rep status.

--K

Update: I received a mail back from WhiteMail Support (which I also mailed regarding Starseeker). Here it is:

"Dear Kander,

Thank you for your email.

Starseeker is no longer an official representative for Tmicha.
You can safely unset his Representative field.

Best regards,
Mark Anderson."

OK, here goes:

CWCTV.NET (WebTV provider): user claimed to be a rep of this company, but provided no evidence for this when I asked; and as Edwin hasn't seen any such evidence either (or the "Representative of" field would have been set), I doubt the veracity of the claim

Eboxmail.net: andyw99

EmailAccount.com: sold by Edwin, no longer has a rep here to my knowledge

Geekmail.com: gersham

Retroblue.com: dannywright99, baz191 (it's dead, Jim — DO NOT visit this site, you'll instantly be spammed by about half-a-dozen popups, most of them difficult to get rid of)

tmicha.net: no longer has an official rep on EMD (thanks, kander)

Universal Post Office (UPO): long-dead

yondermail.com: now just a search portal, like others in this post

Edwin, do you think those two posts (part 1 and 2) should be sticky? Perhaps with the thread name like "Email service representatives participating in these forums"?

Probably the best (almost certainly the easiest) way is a pointer thread whose sole purpose is to direct people to the current round-ups; I've just created a thread for this purpose, and would like to request that this be made sticky...

Robert,

That's quite a list. If you are including email notifiers,

Poppeeper

Developer is Sirath

[fmnewbee]

I guess you edit in all the relevant feedback on those that has expired and changed to portals and such.

I mean I trust you to do this.

Trew

Sirath is already included in the list.

Whether you may decide to annotate the above post containing your updated list, or however might be determined best to keep track of updates, since I don't see it mentioned anywhere above, just "for the record", although the domain name itself may still be actively in use as a website, unfortunately wizworks.net (which was one of the most reliable free email services I've ever used while it lasted) discontinued its email service awhile back, citing the all-too-common problem of abuse by spammers.

I just tried WizWorks, and although there is no link to create a new account, the webmail login (SquirrelMail) seems to still be available...

(I haven't got an account so can't check this.)

(edit: WizWorks is still up and running but is no longer public)

Interesting. Perhaps I misunderstood, since I can't recall whether or not I ever actually tried the webmail again after receiving an email from the admin, IIRC, announcing the closing of the service for the reason stated above, and I noticed that POP3 access to my own wizworks.net account ceased functioning soon afterward. But I'll try the webmail now and see whether I can get in that way or not.

Okay, while reviewing my own post here, I just caught your edit. I guess that's the "complete" explanation.

This is a list of active sites or only those open to public?

Posted today - he's now a representative of 4or.us (and I can connect).

If a site is no longer open to the public, then for all intents and purposes it's no longer active.
