Re: I don't use Comcast's email
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...
said by Morac  :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.
said by Morac :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.
said by Morac :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.
said by Morac :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".
