E-Mail Services with a Difference

Mail.com provides web-based E-mail services. "Your Personalized E-Mail" is the caption of mail.com seen at the top right hand corner of the homepage. Multi-colored with text dominating the page, and advertisements winking at the visitor, the home page looks designed in a hurry!

"Free Mail - Listen to your mail," proclaims a box at the top left corner of the homepage. This is an ad for downloading Pod Mail facility - to convert entire e-mail messages to audio files for easy transfer to portable media players. Mail.com is the first web-based email provider to offer podmail services.

Separate login boxes for mail.com and mail.comBeta versions are on the right hand corner. The "Why Sign Up?" question is answered with the advantages listed down. The "Click here to sign up" box, red in color is situated nearby. Sign-up is divided into 4 steps. The first step is the username and the e-mail domain. An address according to the visitor's taste can be selected - Art, Love, Out-of-the-World, Profession-wise, etc. - for e.g. visitor@cheerful.com!

The second step is filling up username, password, password hint, name, address, birthday, etc. fields. The third step includes special offers like e-mail alert which can be downloaded for free. The visitor can either go straight to his account or subscribe to paid premium services. The member is taken directly to his email welcome page - A mail welcoming the member to mail.com will have arrived in the inbox!

E-mail, Addresses, Calendar, Note pad, Premium, Games, Cards, Forum, Personals, Video and Chat are the Links found at the top of the email welcome screen.

  • Games: Different types of interesting games can be downloaded from this page for free. The games which the member downloads get saved in the My Games page.
  • Cards: Greeting cards can be personalized and sent from this page.
  • Forums: Most Active Forums - Social, Entertainment, Japanese Animation, Gallery, Computers & Technology, and The Cafe are further subdivided. The member can join Forums and interact with people of his/her own tastes from around the world.
  • Personals: Sign in, meet new International friends, pen pals, etc.
  • Video: Real time video clips can be viewed by member on this page.
  • Chat: Coffee Break - Talk about life, technology, and current trends; Candy Room - Talk room for kids; The Silent Room - The Peaceful and serene room.

"Options" is an important link with Signature setting, Auto-reply, Email Organizer, etc. - can be set according to the member's preference.

The link to advantages and process of signing into Ajax Beta version of mail.com for Premium Services users, and advertisements are other features of the mail.com homepage.

Mail.com generates income through Advertisements and Premium Services. Mail.com Premium Services include:

Ads-Free Premium Service; MAILPRO Advantage Silver, Gold, Platinum, Platinum Supreme; POP3 Access; and E-mail Forwarding.

drrogeringram@email.com  says:

I have used mail.com for years and with declining satisfaction. Its so much work to contact everyone, personal and business people, to change to another server.

I feel abused by the current owners: sometimes I can't get to my messages (as reported by others), sometimes I write something and then can't send it (they system is down), sometimes those annoying ads with voices are frequent, etc.

Would I recommend this email server? NO

junaid  says:

i dont no wat to say , Pleaser let me know how can i get back to my email address junaidshah@asia.com. I am using mail.com since 2000. and i have lost my email addy. please help me. thanks.

Pete  says:

What has been happening with this email service???? Seems like it has been going downhill during the past few months. Service is sporadic at best, and when the site is down, it is DOWN and VERY FRUSTRATING. The annoying ads with voices is particularly unwanted.

Would I recommend this service?: NO

Damir Soull  says:
2 years ago

I've been using mail.com for a few years, and I haven't had any problems, except the server being down every so often, which does get very annoying, especially now, when I'm attempting to send my professor my English homework and the site is down. =__=

Other than that, yeah, I'd recommend it.

www.mail.com is screwed! That's why we can't access our emails with so much down time. And the guys at mail.com don't even bother to tell us when the down time will be.

Mail.com run by some group of unprofessionals, I recommend never use their services if you are sending and receiving important mails. GMAIL.com is one of the best of its kind in the market today, though they too have some drawbacks.

Had mail.com for aaprox. 6 mo. was fine.

Now it is a NIGHTMARE! Mail.com claims my password is invalid (& it's not). Connection said my email service was suspended. I sent them 4 emails. No response but they FORWARD YOUR OWN COMPLAINT(S) BACK TO YOU VIA YOUR SECONDARY EMAIL ADDRESS!

I would like to read my emails. I am calling every person and orgenization I know to tell them not to send me any emails.

Birgit  says:

Today 8/28/09 I discovered that email.com, division of mail.com deactivated my account. However 1) they did not inform me and 2) there is no valid reason for them to deactivate my account.

Perhaps they deactivated my account because I posted the previous listed complaint?

I have no access to my emails that were stored at email.com.

I only hope that I can save someone else from this senseless tampering with a person's emails.
