| stocktrader's Full Review: Mail.com Business Services |
In life, almost everything that is "free" is worth it. Mail.com is one of those few exceptions.
When I first signed up for a mail.com account about 6 years ago it was great. It had only a couple banner ads, and best of all it had FREE email forwarding. So, since the domain was simple and cool "mail" dot com I singed up and primarily used it to "forward" to another AOL email account. And when it came time to compose an email I would go to the site and do that. (they got my page views then).
Then, it started to spiral downhill. First, they got rid of the free email "forwarding". Then came the threats: PAY or you will lose it!" (which was crying wolf) And worst of all, came the ADS. Not just one or two ads. POP UPS, and MORE POP UPS, POP UNDERS and yes even MORE!!and of course the original banner load. As a dial up user it is a total nightmare, as often I crash my ISP if I close windows before they fully load.
NOT GOOD
