TWENTY DOLLARS??? yr having a LAFF new answers...

CarsmileSteve, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

20 bucks a year really isn't that much. None of the other free email services even offer mail forwarding, do they?

Kris, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

oh i thought hotmail did, still, this is the interweb, i want everything for FREE innit ;) it's either that or an aol email, which isn't really on, is it?

tangent: what is a cool or uncool email addy?

Tracer Hand, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

hotmail does popmail stevie boy, well it offered it to me th eother day. Alternatively there's jackassmail.com, where I have a small account.

chris at home, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

like dude, kewl...

CarsmileSteve, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

yeah, I have a popmail account through hotmail and I get it pretty regularly, although there are still many complaints I have about it, generally the popmail comes through more reliably than my actual hotmail addressed mail does.

Deadman, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

what is popmail anyway?

I've been spoiled with my work account haven't I?

chris at home, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

also what sort of fool would want to send 5mb attachments anyway????

CarsmileSteve, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

popmail is when you have a yahoo/hotmail generally web-based email, but you want to download yr mail to outlook etc on yr own machine for ease of reading/replying/storing i think...

CarsmileSteve, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I need to send files larger than that fairly often, and am sometimes stymied by accounts that won't accept them.

Sean, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

blimey, it would take my connection about an hour to send that much stuff...

CarsmileSteve, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Therefore you live in the Dark Ages, Carsmile. Come to the light.

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Anyone sending attachments/e-mails totalling more than (say) 2MB are asking to be shot. YOU SCUM! use FTP for flips sake. FTP or die. it's your choice.

Alan Trewartha, Friday, 22 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Alan is korrekt. FTP is there for a reason.

RickyT, Friday, 22 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Then please come and set it up over here so when my computer crashes SIX TIMES whilst trying to send something that it DOESN'T ruin my GODAMM GAME OF DOPEWARS!

Sarah, Friday, 22 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I have an NME e-mail address which I use mainly (almost purely) for sending and receiving mails to & from "sinister". I find its ok so long as I remember to turn off the sig. file with the advert for the NME on it. Can't remember if it has mail forwarding or not and I can't check until 5pm when Websense allows access to web-based e-mail (they're hot on conserving bandwidth here). Web hosting is blocked even after 5pm, which means I can look at Carsmile's blog all the time but never look at his geocities page. So which is more ethical then...an AOL e-mail address or an NME one?

MarkH, Friday, 22 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Archel, Friday, 22 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yahoo! are being bastards recently, aren't they - they took away free FTP on Geocities the other day. Is there not some rule they are breaking by taking away free stuff and most likely changing terms of use along with it...?

Why has the page that actually contains my incoming mail been refusing to load for the last 24 hours or so? It just times out...I can see my mail previewed in the stupid little box, but I can't actually get to it to read it. I've tried switching browsers, but still no luck.

And does anyone know an address I can write to at Yahoo in order to redress this problem?

dell, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 06:16 (eighteen years ago)

This seems to be a constant problem with Yahoo. My Yahoo mail box refuses to open like once in a week or two. You'd think a company of that size could make it mail service run smoother?

Tuomas, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 11:42 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, thinking back, this is probably not the first time this has happened...

Look at it this way: at least you're not using the New Microsoft Outlook Webmail Hotmail Special LIVE! or whatever they're colling it. Apparently, you can't even load the web page from anything but a PC running Explorer. Way to develop a web app, guys!

my yahoo account, which i've had for like 10+ years but don't actively use anymore, has been sending out spam so i decided it was time to shut it down. first i wanted to send a bulk email to everyone in my address book to give my gmail address, but yahoo wouldn't let me send it because they thought i might be trying to send spam (to people in my address book?). then i found out that if i close my yahoo account, my flickr account is automatically deleted. so now i have to keep this shitty account that i don't use for anything that's sending out spam.

congratulations (n/a), Wednesday, 26 October 2011 18:24 (fourteen years ago)

I went through pretty much exactly the same thing about a year ago, its really annoying to have to keep an unwanted account around like that. On the plus side, the account seemed to stop sending out spam after a couple weeks or so.

jon /via/ chi 2.0, Wednesday, 26 October 2011 18:28 (fourteen years ago)

tbf she was one of the people who drove designers away from google because she thought the best way to design things was to deliver hundreds of color/spacing variations across customers, see who clicked the buttons google wanted them to click the most, and then used those designs

there's probably a room of a hundred people being shown slight variations of this yahoo logo, eye doctor-style, being asked "so do you like... A or B? better or worse?"

imo the new fantasy layout is one of the only things they've done right, at least orientation-wise. Black or white semi-transparent background, who cares. If more people miss the white, give 'em the white.
