YAHOO MAIL SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Pennstate]

The server's been down more times than it's up. I think I am going to start forwarding my mail to a Hotmail account.

 

[bigbootydaddy]

working fine here.

 

[Phunktion]

Hotmail's pretty good but they have deleted my folders without warning a lot of times..

 

[Yo Ma Ma]

Hotmail is slow, but reasonably reliable. Very spammy though.

 

[Pennstate]

well, it's down for me currently. It won't even let me get to the sign in page

 

[tontod]

Just logged into it, seems to be working for me. I think hotmail is a lot more unreliable in my opinion. The past 6 months I've had a yahoo account, I've never had trouble logging in.

 

[Pennstate]

hmm, it must be an DNS problem then. Can anyone give me the ip login page?

 

[Namuna]

Hmmmm, mine's been working fine too.

And considering Yahoo gives you FREE POP/SMTP mail access, I'd say not only does it SUCK...it SWALLOWS.

 

[Pennstate]

POP access? I didn't know that, I thought it was just forwarding to our other POP account. If so, what are the servers?

 

[ArkAoss]

hmm, lemme check here.

what really sucks is email.com
we used them to recieve ad's, people would send stuff, we wouldn't receive till a week or 2 later.


yahoo worked ok for me, has been for like 5 yrs.

I can't stand hotmail honestly, get a real POP3 e-mail account. From your ISP or whatever.

P.S. See we wouldn't have this problem with ATmail

I've been pleased with Yahoo, much more than so than when I had my Hotmail account (which always sounded like a porn address to me). I haven't had any trouble accessing it in recent memory.

hotmail/msn sucks .. yahoo rules!!

I like yahoo's POP3

 

[The Stigenator]

personally I pefer: mail.bestoftheweb.com

its super fast.

 

[loup garou]

I love yahoo mail. I don't get a piece of spam to my account, unlike my hotmail account, which I've abandoned because I get over 40 porn spam messages a day. :|

Yahoo Servers for POP3 access:

Incoming Mail (POP3) Server: pop.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com

 

[shawnmos]

yahoo's smtp never works. I e-mail their tech support like every week but they don't do anything. they is suck!

If you want free mail go here.... http://coolsurf.zzn.com

It works on the anandtech forums too. I might change the colors but I'm am not sure so I need input.

 

[shawnmos]

oh, its got POP too.

I have e-mail address at Juno and Yahoo too. Juno killed my e-mail address that I had for as long as I ever had a computer. I used yahoo to e-mail all that Juno killed my address. Be glad there are some places that you can receive free e-mail.
