Re: Mail2Web services

Hmmm... I have others mention this but i have yet to receive an Email or any other notification to this addition of a fee for service.......an interesting conundrum! Although i can still access my Gmail through PIE, its a bit of a pain to actually remember to do it...gonna have to do some searching and see what i can find.....

Re: Mail2Web services

Well I checked the site for mail2web.com and it does now say that its $4.95 but I have not seen anything that says that they are ending their free services.....i would venture to think (yeah, I konw that is a dangerous proposition when I start to think) that they would be pasting their site with "Change of plans" or something...My thinking (oh there I go again) is that it would potentially destroy the traffic to their site.....I venture to guess that most are referred by other users.....Stupid move if it happens IMO

Does 7mail also sync? I might be having to look into them, but have not found them yet.....

Tried to Edit, but my time limit expired...

In short they are not eliminating the free services....Initially you sign up for the plan and then within the 60 day trial time period you downgrade to basic (which is what I am using now) and there should be little or no difference (IMO) reference Email/Sync/Etc....

here is a direct link to what I found in their "Help/FAQ" section:

Re: Mail2Web services

yeah but they said you could still have the email but it would cost money to use the activesync that they have..... this backs up all contacts for me so i can restore easily and have at anytime on a different server... i dont really even use the email address and activesync is what they will be charging for :( wont be in the basic package anymore...

Re: Mail2Web services

Yup, received the same email today. I was crushed.....it was so easy gettin my school email.....sigh...lol. Oh well....seems like 7mail is the way to go. Never heard of it, but I'll give it a try.

Re: Mail2Web services

I just got their Email today and am not a happy camper! Spent way too much time on their site last night, finding the link that I posted and then read the Email today......ARGH.....What I find interesting, is the "Increased performance" that they promise.......and well since I am feeling a bit froggy right now, I think I am going to jump.....gonna get in contact with their reps and see exactly what kind of "increased performance" they have and push them for a recommendation for another site.... should be interesting.....

For those who care, this is what I sent their exchange people....

"ood afternoon,

I just received your Email reference migrating to a paid account. I am very curious what, exactly, can I expect as "service improvement?"

How are the new changes different from what you are currently running?

What other sites do you recommend to replace this service, if necessary?

Honestly, I fail to see any benefit in disenfranchising a huge number of people. I recognize that some will migrate, I might be one of them, but not likely. In that light, I would really like to know what benefits I will be able to see, as an end user.

Thank you,"

Quite frankly I expect a BS response from them, but it will be interesting to say the least!

Re: Mail2Web services

they said the push feature should be faster and not delayed like it has been since they started growing..... thus why they are charging so they can get more space for less people....... the wonders of the american mind.

At least you got an answer that at least made a little sense....the response I got was just short of infuriating.... I am not going to post the whole thing, it will stink up the entire site with the amount of BS in it.....In short, they are moving the active sync to paid......but refused to include anything that makes it worth the while......the downside is that when my Outlook trial is over, i am not sure that i iwll continue to be able to sync to my computer.......I use a PIM backup, but would prefer something through activesync........

So i guess that the long and the short of it is, I either pony up the $4.95 or live without syncing and hoping that the PIM backup doesnt corrupt

Microsoft gets you coming and going.....

Re: Mail2Web services

I've never used it, but there's

Code:

dashwire.com

to back up contacts. Don't have time to try it right now but maybe someone here has already done it or someone can try it and let us know before I get a chance to later
