email service providers



Good evening All

Especially those who were looking for suggestions for an email service provider

I have discovered that sometime recently mail.com has disabled pop and imap until you subscribe.

A service that appears to be related to mail.com, has allowed pop and imap activity from my mail clients - Thunderbird and K9 - so far.

Try gmx.com

I have tried to subscribe to mail.com at their website - to be told that I can't pay from Australia.

Their app will only allow a monthly subscription.

I can't get an explanation from their support people.

My first experience of this change in their t&c was when I set up a new account, in an effort to tidy up my mail. When I tried to actovate pop and imap, there was a notice saying these services are only available for subscribers. I was happy to pay for a year, but can't. I have been unable to download mail into Tbird using pop and imap, but neither is working.

While registering that new account, I saw that mail.com offers email address that reflect your interests - like @australiamail.com


If there is anybody from mail.com on the list PLEASE let us know how to overcome your quirks.


A warning about another gotcha I found early on. They have policy restrictions on some sub-folders of mail. They may store only a few items. There is a setting somewhere to reverse this
