Tracer, the first ISP in Thailand was Inet (Internet Thailand
Co.,Ltd.), founded back in 1995. I have been with them ever since, and
they have never lost any mail.

The chief-of-techs is Craig, an American. And, while Inet never lost
any mail of mine, GMX did manage to do that once. And GMX is in
Germany.

While I can't understand that a hotel makes itself dependant on web
sites and email, I don't doubt that ISP's mess up things. Please do
not say "all are bad" just because they are based in one country, or
"all are good" as long as they are based in another country.

I think it's 10 Meg for the free account. Of course, you can have as
many free accounts (under different names) as you like (one  for each

Douglas,

I strongly recommend privacyx.com. They have a free service which
gives you a paltry 2 megabytes of box space. But they also have a
premium service ($20/year) with ten megs of space and no ads.

The service is the most reliable I've found. They deliver something
like 99.7% of all mail within a few seconds. The best part is that
they strip all header info. Your IP etc is replaced by theirs, from a
security standpoint this is priceless.

I have two accounts with them. This one is a 2 meg freebo. My main
account is for business ( I use my real name with that one) and is the
10 meg premium. Since e-mail is the single most vital component of the
Internet, I wouldn't recommend bottom-fishing for a provider.

I had your private msg but answer bounced back
try
www.mymailbox.com
www.usa.net
and as you know we ourselves have mailservices..  , myrealbox is free
and USA.NET charges $1 per month to receive mail via offline mail programs
and that should be affordable
Anyway, losing mail is a lot more damage then a few dollars for being
sure to receive ones mail and insisting to use suppliers which cannot
be trusted also means one has little  reason to complain about a lousy
service one expects...

dependability isnt with the bat, its where you have them.
Main reason my email account isnt in Thailand and if I was in Mexico
my mail wouldnt be sitting in Mexico.

essentially like here, they havent got a clue how to run an isp
service and I donot want MY mail to be sitting anywhere where
essentially ## are controlling what happens to my mail.

An example is a local hotel which almost went out of business as isp
messed up his website AND mail.

Re: email services that work well w/ TB!

[Angel]

Hi Doug!

I can offer a few suggestions of email services I use, which are
POP3 AND WebBased accessible...and all are FREE:

Subdimension: 10mb space; POP3/IMAP/Web access
http://www.subdimension.com/freemail/index.html

Turbosport:   40mb space; POP3/IMAP/Web access; Autoresponders; Paging;
  Forwarding & more
http://www.turbosport.com/

Crosswinds: Unlimited space; POP3/Web access
http://home.crosswinds.net/services/

Coolmail: ( I couldn't determine from their site the actual amt.
of space, but..) POP3/Phone access; Calendar; Full Contact
 Management System.
I use this email's BRONZE plan for POP3 email. There is a 60
minute limit for the FREE phone access...after that there is a
charge of 10cents per/min. They have a SILVER plan but I
use the Bronze which is FREE. I haven't checked my email via phone
yet but I can vouch that the POP3 works great thus far.
http://www.planetarymotion.com/

MyPad:   Not a whole lot of space (1.5mb...approx 200 TEXT
 messages) but they DO have a FORWARDING option AND PHONE
 access.
 Their POP3 access has a 5-star rating.
http://www.mypad.com

SoftHome:From their website:
 Quotas are set according to available disk space. Available disk space 
varies in
 relation to advertising revenue. Currently:

 Hard quota = 30MB / 500 files: Messages are accepted up to these limits.
 Soft quota = 10MB / 300 files: If you hit your hard quota, your mailbox 
size is
 reduced to this.

 Expiring Messages:
 Large messages have a shorter life expectancy than small messages.
 Messages you've seen have a shorter life expectancy than messages you
 haven't seen.
 Messages in your POP mailbox (aka your web-based inbox folder) have a 
shorter
 life expectancy than messages you've moved to a different web-based mail 
folder.
 Messages in your web-based Trash and Sent folders have a low life 
expectancy.
 Web-only folders (besides Trash and Sent) have a longer life expectancy 
than the
 INBOX folder. The INBOX folder is shared with POP.
 With hard and soft quotas like that, we are over-booked.
 Those quotas are for bursting, not for storage. For
 example, you can receive  high-volume mailing lists, but you can't leave 
them here.
http://www.softhome.net

***I have used Softhome's POP3 access for over 2 years and have NEVER
   had problems with it, except when they were running routine
   maintenance. You will run into that no matter which one you use,
   but in my own opinion, Softhome, Crosswinds and Mailroom are the
   ones which give me the least problems connecting/checking/whatever
   :D


Hope these are of some help. Good luck :D

Regards,
~~~Angel

GMX is another good free email service. It offers both POP/SMTP and
web-based email, and puts no ads on outgoing or incoming mails. I
can't remember how much disk space you get off the top of my head, but
I use my GMX account for all three TB discussion lists and have never

I  use  GMX a German based service known for its web interface but - and
that's  why  I  choose  it - also offering SMTP/POP. Just have a look at
their homepage at www.gmx.net and search (in their help) for SMTP/POP.

I  think  they  are  one  of the best and will stay in business for much
longer than many software companies.

Re: email services that work well w/ TB!

[Doug Baron]

I use Opera Mail available at www.operamail.com

It's FREE, gives 10MB of storage space, has no advertising and
features mail forwarding and POP3 access. It also works just great
with TB! I think they'll be around a while since the Opera Browser
(which I own a copy of) is doing well and is getting more press
everyday.

POP server = operamail.com
SMTP server = operamail.com

Note: Their SMTP server requires login authentication so make sure TB!
is set up that way for that account.

email services that work well w/ TB!

Hello TBUDL members,

After 4 months off-line (traveling w/o a portable computer), I
learned that all mail in 3 of my email accounts was lost when the
service provider went out of business at the end of august.

I would appreciate being recommended (on or off list) any email
services that work well w/ TB! (I do *not* need an ISP, just 3 mail
accounts, but not necessarily with the same source). The important
issues are reliability and permanence, speed, the storage space
provided, an absence of ads, low or nil cost and of course, that
work well with TB! (*not* web based). Thanks in advance.
