"Freeola WebMail petition"

This isn't intended to create hassle for the Freeola guys, but just to guage the requirements of users.

If you use Freeola for e-mail - either through the free service or through your own hosted domain - add your name here if you would like a WebMail interface to view your messages from anywhere.

I certainly do!

... of course that was meant if Freeola added this WebMail and some other features, one being the non-use of their dial-up.

They would make more money from me if they charged monthly :o)

Freeola currently get around 30p a month from me. Now I'm not the best when it comes to maths, but I know £5 a month is better than 30p :o)

Freeola won't remove any restrictions unless you pay them handsomely.

Ah, there's the problem... I don't get the PS1 mag any more!

do u think it is possible that Freeola remove the restrictions about uploading files using scripts and sending emails from a non-freeola dial-up - e.g. using a script on the net to show a freeola email address, when they offer the paid service???

that would be great for me so I could let other people make changes to the site (its a community portal run by me on behalf of an organisation which includes people from town/district councils)

I think their damnded reliability gets them a fair amount. As you know, I use Vispa and I'm very happy with it. There are, of course, some occasional blackouts or dark time, which is understandable. I've been using Freeola as my "fallback" connection for months. It's extremely reliable and fast too - although ping to SR servers is strangely high...

It was in PSM (Offical PS1), the had a run of the in the inside front cover for 6 issues.

=P

Yeah the 'paid for' hosting should really be introduced here, as I think Freeola are more pro than for the free market :o).

Having just looked through the pages briefly, I admit it's probably not made as clear as it could be.

I have to say though that, having used other 'freebies' before, I had already encountered such things, so I kind of knew that was how it would be. In all honesty, I never really thought about it as being a problem.

However, now I have broadband, I admit that it is a pain having to upload your website via a modem. In fact I think I was one of the first people - possibly THE first - to suggest a reasonably-priced paid addition to the service, allowing people to upload via hiogh-speed connections.

All I know is that they've said that they are working on things, and to "watch this space". It is frustrating waiting though. But I'm sure it'll be worth it. (Right guys?)

I buy three PS mags, but I've never seen that!

Thanks!
