Any interest in free Web-based Email?

**Greg** · Apr 20, 2006, 10:14 AM

I think I know the answer to this, but I figured I'd throw this out there. Would you be interested in a free Web-based Email account? For example, greg@alpinezone.net?

Please repond to the poll and include any comments in this thread.

It's a nice gesture, Greg, but frankly, why n the hell would I want to associate myself with a board like this?

Just kidding...

I have been using Gmail and just really wouldn't have the need for another address.

Thanks though for offering.

Will it link to private messages? For instance, If I just want to send BobR a PM from my mail client could I do so?

**Greg** · Apr 21, 2006, 6:47 AM

No, Beano.

I guess I just like to collect email addresses, thats why I'm the only one who voted for yes. Would this have pop3 so I could get it from my other email client? If not I probably would never use it anyway...

I don't think there is a POP option. FYI - I tried this once several years ago and it kind of was a flop. The community is far bigger now though so I figured I'd throw it out there...

If there is no POP then I probably wouldn't use it. I never remember to check my Gmail account as it is... I get the rest of my email address's mail through POP, so it all goes to one place.

I voted no. I really wouldn't use it enough to justify Greg's extra work.

I voted yes my current e-mail is getting attacked by ads and other junk.

Nothing personal Greg. You do a great job maintaining this forum with the other moderators, but a email account to the forum isn't necessary.
