 | | | Re: Anyone still using ISP email ?? I actually do know one person who still uses their nc.rr.com email addrress, it's so weird.
I honestly have NEVER checked, or setup my RR email account.
I may have one from when I first got it, but I don't even know if I do. Who cares. | |

| said by Romney2012:Who still uses their ISP's email system? Everyone I email is on Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, free AOL or some other free web based system. All I use my Comcast email for is to get account notifications from Comcast. And those I forward to Gmail. Lots of my non-computer literate friends.  They do use RR's Webmail too. | |
|
| | Yawn.... Why bother... who uses ISP E-mail anymore? Which reminds me... I haven't checked my RR mail for about two months. | |

| | | | | | Re: how cares that means file attachments have no size limit for example as a fellow yahoo mail user I attach a ripped or copied dvd send to you as a email( wink wink) blam you have a dvd
assumming you have a broadband connection to download it might take a while on dialup a few days weeks years months
same with gmail but 1 gigabyte limit

kudos:1 | Re: I Use It I use it as well. In fact, I have used my ISP's e-mail ever since I signed up for High Speed internet back the late 90's. First it was DSL (Ameritech, I think), and then I switched to cable with AT&T @home, which then became Comcast. When I moved to Wisconsin, I got TWC/RR.
I don't have an issue with it, as I use Thunderbird as my mail client. Before I used to use Outlook (full version, not express), so each time I would change ISP's, I would just modify my settings, and I would keep all my mail.
To me, claims of "you can store unlimited amounts of mail" don't get me excited. I have a 100 GB hard drive, so I can store 100 GB of mail if I wanted to, as its all local. Personally, I like the idea that I can use a local program on my computer to save my mail, rather then have it on the web. Sure, if I am on the road, I don't have access to all my old e-mail, as I don't take my desktop with me. I do have a laptop (for work), but I usually just delete all the junk in my inbox via the web interface, and keep the stuff that I actually want. So, when I get back home, I'll download the e-mail I saved into my local inbox on my desktop.

·WOW Internet and..
| my interface has changed for Central/Mid Ohio and the login screen havent been updated to more email addresses but i don't think i'm using the right master account email address. I have two of them and unsure which one is which and too lazy to call in and ask since i don't really use them.
Gmail here plus i pay $34 a year for an email address from a Local ISP www.toast.net email, news groups, anti-virus program, 10 free hours of dial-up if needed and a few other things hell it beats not having to be tied to the ISP and their mergers/buy outs.
The local company has bene around for a long time too. | |

Or, just configure Outlook/Outlook Express/Thunderbird to access Gmail's POP server and you have email right there in your favorite client email app.

Charlotte, NC | The upgrade is horrid Atleast the web version of it. It is painfully slow - even on our 20Mb/sec direct connection to the TW network at work. Never mind on my Verizon Wireless data card.
I want the old version back. | |

1 edit | My school is switching to gmail, why can't ISPs do that? My University has decided that they will transition all student email accounts (current webmail based, with 100meg of space) to Google gmail by next year. Giving students about 6GB of space, plus more features and better access. Not to mention it's much cheaper to let Google handle it than having the IT department do it. My school has about 50,000 students.
Why can't ISPs just let Google handle it? It would be cheaper for everyone and much MUCH more reliable.

Don't even suggest some worthless idea like this. Gmail sucks!! I'll take Yahoo mail over Gmail anyday. Heck, I'd ALMOST prefer not so hot Hotmail over Gmail and that's BAD!

Rosendale, NY | This is a big improvement to what we now have I am not sure, but I believe it's something minuscule like 3 megs, so this is a great improvement. I use Yahoo, MSN, and Google's mail services as well, so I am not hurting for storage. The additional addresses are a bit of overkill if you ask me.

| | RR As a former SD Roadrunner customer let me warn you NOT to use ISP based E-mail accounts. I had to move abroad and lost a lot of correspondance because of them. They promised me twice, once over the phone and once face-to-face when I dropped off my cable box (NOT the cable modem, I dropped that off 2 weeks later..I had sold my TV before my flight date) that they had a policy of keeping the pop-account alive for 4 weeks after dropping off the cable modem and cancelling the contract.
Sure enough...as soon as I got to Europe my account was DEAD. I raised hell, had to call intl', they re-activated it for 3 weeks..but 48 hours worth of business Emails were gone.
And they told me that they didnt care what I was promised, and that I had no right to complain since it was my fault...sure..guess I shouldnt have trusted them in the FIRST place and ask a third time, just to make sure....and btw..did I mention I had to pay for the extra 3 weeks of just E-mail?? THE FULL AMOUNT OF $49!!!!!!! And I wasnt even in the country anymore??? Just to get the last stray E-mails that would find their way to the old address??? RR? Never again...I now own my own URL and plan to stay with that service provider for a long time. | |

Forest Hills, NY | RR E-mail While its good for a lot of people that they are improving the e-mail system. Im not sure that they need 10 mail boxes or anyone needs that. Thats a very large family for 1 ISP ACCOUNT. The issue of portability is the biggest concern.
I doubt anyone can deny that GMAIL which allows you to pop3 or use imap4 is the best e-mail service.
What people don't realize though is that RR provides you with Anti virus software for your computer so you don't have to pay for that every year. | |

Rosendale, NY | Re: RR E-mail said by bhorow:What people don't realize though is that RR provides you with Anti virus software for your computer so you don't have to pay for that every year. I, for one, do realize that RR provides anti-virus, and anti-spyware software, as well as parental blocking software, which is part of their service. They provide CA Internet Security Suite 2007, and Pure Sight Parental Control software.
I do not use either.
In an article in PC Magazine, CA's package was rated as one of the lowest, as its modules do not 'play well' with one another.
The text of the full article can be found here: »www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2704,2031658,00.asp
Personally, I use Comodo and AVG Free. I have no need for any parental control software. Alternatives may be found in the Security forum here on DSLR.

| | My mail boxes. I keep about 10 email boxes alive and active to use for different things, host mail, contest emails, necessary family, business, one for those friends and relatives that never outgrew the need to send spam, chain emails or religious emails (barf!) and so forth, that way it keeps them separate and less to look through.
I just use incredimale and have all my gmail and rr emails come through incredimale and go into their own folder.
I love the way gmail handles spam and how their filters are so easy to set up.
I would never ever again rely on solely on my one ISP to handle all my email because I have been online many many years and when ISP's go under or sell you off to another ISP company you can loose all of your email and your email account and loose touch with dear relatives and friends. | |
