I recently checked in my yahoo account and too my surprise, Yahoo had done somthing i wouldn't expect. Yahoo changed all space to 100 mb from the simple 6mb and i was like WOW! then after the maximum attachment limit was taken from 500 kb*i think* to 10 MB which is amazing. And at the best price, FREE. Sign up if your e-mail gets clogged alot.

This is in response to G-mail and spymac.com, both of which will soon offer 1GB of storage for your e-mails(spymac already does, gmail will soon, hopefully) ...of course, i just use my account here...where i set the limits >:D

GMail already has the 1 GB limit for e-mails. I've been using it for a while, and the reason I use it over TGB (or any of my other e-mails, for that matter) is the advanced searching ability that comes with it.

TheGreatBeyond obviously has the best e-mail around! So few names are taken, so practically any name is available! And not to mention the "unlimited" space we get! Therefore, TGB > Everything!

Gmail is just in selective beta...you can't just go and say 'oh hey, that sounds cool. sign me up.' . and when i say 'unlimited' i mean limited by my account on the server...

but you gotta love the spam filter >.>

Yeah, but 1 GB of e-mail is good enough for me. The spam filtering, message threading, and message searching make it great.

but can you use outlook express with it?

Not for now. In order for Outlook Express (or most other e-mail clients, for that matter) to work with GMail, GMail would need to offer either POP3 or IMAP access. Since the whole principle of using GMail is that you have 1 GB of storage, message threading, and message searching (all of these benefits disappear when you use your own client), GMail sounds like it will stay web-only for now.

I have so much spam in my TGB account... But it's not so bad ^_^ I like my gmail account, too. I use both

And I can't get outlook express to work with my tgb account. Meh ^_^;

Well, I don't know the account settings, or whether or not TGB allows POP3 or IMAP access, so it would be Beyonder who has to help you.

Hotmail just gave me 250 MB free space, too. Yay, this space boosting thing is kinda neat.

I have way too many e-mail addresses...

Post by **beyonder** » Tue Jun 29, 2004 12:49 am

What? they said that was coming in fall....hmmm.....they lied to me! Btw, for anyone who wants to use pop3, you just use [email protected](or youremaddress+thegreatbeyond.net or youremailaddress%thegreatbeyond.net) as your login, your password as your password(duh) and mail.thegreatbeyond.net for the server. if you don't have an account and want one, leave me a PM on the forums with a address/password.

Yeah, it must be that (Fall). Yay for reading e-mails over my brother's shoulder and not finishing!

I don't use my hotmail account unless someone wants to e-mail me and it gets read right away.

TGB mail- I tried that and it didn't work, but I'll try again. Eventually. Someday.

So... is this another spam post to remain in the forum?
