As you can see from the date below, I am still feverishly trolling for new
accounts. I can't recall if anyone replied to Lena's post but the service
mentioned below is indeed alive and well and has both POP **and** SMTP
services.
Configuration:
POP - pop3.devilsplayground.net
SMTP - smtp.devilsplayground.net
It requires POP before send and surprisingly enough, this requisite is
clearly stated (in plain, unambiguous English) in the response from the
SMTP server, if it is not used.
I've only had it up and running for 36 hours or so but it has been
performing without a hiccup. Yes, before you even comment on the
appallingly bad taste of the name of this service, I agree!
Why is it that a service whose name makes it almost an embarrassment to
use, seems to work flawlessly, while one with a particularly charming name
like Crosswinds.net has so many glitches?
If I seem somewhat obsessed with the latter, it is only because the winter
has been an especially hard one here in Atlantic Canada. To compensate, I
have desktop wallpaper with a palm tree-lined beach, alternating with
tropical sunsets, replete with more palm trees. My e-mail programme is
Calypso, with its Caribbean ambience and the mail notification .wav files
are choruses of "the mailboat's in" sung in a calypso fashion. In other
words, I am heavily in denial.
I do apologize for the above digression but if I have to shovel the
driveway one more time, my new snail mail address will be "Aruba". :>)
