I have a domain, registered through GetDotted, which points to my Freeola-hosted web site, and would like to know the following...

1. My main dial-up is via NTL using an 0800 number. Do I have to dial up through Freeola's 0845 number every so often in order to keep my site alive?

2. If I have any suggestions for features that I think may benefit Freeola users, where is the best place to send/post them?

Cheers for any help you can give.

Any news/views on this?

For a PHP script that will let you send e-mail from any account (although you can't read your mail using it - you'll have to stick with the webmail you have to do that) then try a script i had a go at making at www.allhype.co.uk/hypemail/

If you want to get your e-mail at a web-based account, and send via your domain try the following (it works for me!)

1. Register an e-mail account for FREE at mail.uk2.net
you'll get a [email protected] account.

2. Log in to your freeola.com control pannel (freeola.com/control) and forward whichever account(s) you'd like to the uk2.net address (yourname.uk2.net).

3. Log into your uk2.net account and in the settings change your outgoing mail adress to [email protected].

Now all your mail goes to a webbased account, and your replies are with your domain name.

Hope this helps someone...

AFAIK, you only have to dial in to send mail and upload files to your space.

As for the web mail thingy, make your own, using the .mail folder and the 'sendmail' or PHP mailing thingy. I'm planning on doing one. If I get it done, I'll note it in here.

It would be cool to have Hotmail-style access to mail accounts, so that we could send and receive email from our own domains from anywhere on the web.

Demon have a limited Webmail interface, which allows you to read your mail but not reply or send new mail. NTL have recently introduced a much more flexible system which allows you to read and send e-mail direct from your domain - '[email protected]' - but this still has some limitations.

I have a domain registered through Freeola - 'mind-war.co.uk' - and I think this would be a major bonus for your users. Currently I have a Hotmail account set up to pick up mail via POP3 from my domain, but this is limited to 4 mailboxes, and obviously I cannot send mail from my domain. Direct access to all of my mailboxes, with the ability to send and reply to mail, would be fantastic.

Any news/views on this?

Yes, you will need to connect at least once a month to keep the data base records updated and show that the accounts is active otherwise it will be deleted if there is no activity over a 90 day period.
