I don't use Comcast's email in http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r18294263 en Tue, 08 Dec 2009 19:24:43 EDT Tue, 08 Dec 2009 19:24:43 EDT Re: I don't use Comcast's email http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18295425 plencnerb : Before I moved to Wisconsin, I had Comcast, and I did not have any problems with their mail. I do want to point out that I do not know if you are talking about the Webmail version, or if you are talking about having an e-mail client local on your system. If its a local e-mail client, then I have to counter you on your four point...

1. 250 MB of storage space - In the day where basically all the free email providers offer 1 GB all the way up to infinite storage, 250 MB seems paltry.
Last time I looked, my 120 GB HD has 100 GB of free space. That is much more then the 250 MB that you are talking about.

2. Comcast will delete your unread email if you don't read it within a certain amount of time. Granted I think this is a month or two, but this is just wrong.
My mail client on my machine checks for e-mail once every 10 minutes. So, this was never an issue.

3. If you leave Comcast, all your mail gets left behind.
As I said, I was a Comcast Customer. Even though I am now with RR, I am still able to open my Inbox, and see all my e-mail, even going as far back as the late 1990's, when I had @home as my ISP. I never lost any e-mail when I switched from Comcast to RR.

4. In the past I found it unreliable in both sending and receiving. It may be better now, but this was one of the main reasons I stopped using it.
Short of the system actually being down, which was not that often, I never had a problem with the e-mail service provided by Comcast.

Now, on the other hand, if you are talking about the Webmail client, then yes, your points are valid. Which is why I don't understand why people would only use webmail, where there are a lot of free e-mail clients out there to use.

I do want to point out that I agree with others. If I was still with Comcast (and the same would be true for RR), I feel that their money would be better spent on the maintenance and upkeep of their network, instead of on their "portal".

I'll admit, the new interface does look cool and it is much better that the current one, but a better webmail interface won't help with any of the above problems.
