new email...
following my short-lived affair with walla.com, i have now signed up for a new email addy with inbox.com! recommended by my pal razlan on his blog!
guess not many of you know about my winzwong(at)walla.com email account. well there's not much need to since i auto-forwarded all my mails to that account for the previous 2 weeks. well, walla.com offers 1GB free, and it sounded cool, and it had some nice email templates, that's why i signed up for it in the first place.
however, sometimes, messages can't be sent out, dunno why... and not much options to play with, so i will be discontinuing this email.
now i got a relatively new email, ie. winzwong(at)inbox.com! dun worry as well, have set up auto-forwarding so that you guys can still mail me at gmail, just dun be too surprised when you receive my replies from inbox.com! not spam ok?
am happy to have this email account - just like when i first had my gmail... will now promote it a bit here.. hehe...
1. it is a relatively new service, so if you sign up soon, you may get good email names such as @inbox.com!
2. err is 2 GB enough for you? it is for me =)
3. the skin is nicer than that of gmail's.
4. completely ad-free... not even adsense by google, which gmail has. hence i assume it does not scan your mails (i assert that i assume).
5. basic functions, except for pop access, anything google can do, inbox can do too. interface looks so much nicer than gmail's white background.
6. i dun really like gmail's tag. here in inbox, you can do it the old-school way and create/manage folders. tuck away all those mails to separate folders to avoid crowding out the inbox (of inbox..hehe)
7. storage - you can store files, pictures, mp3's into your inbox account, limited only by the free 2GB mentioned. now this is one cool feature. be sure i will have a few more accounts soon to store photos/mp3s to share with you guys =)
8. can enable split screen, something like what you see when you use outlook express.
9. can do pro-active spam filter, meaning you can pre-block every unknown person who emails you, and only receive from them when you authorise them (this is optional of course)
the list goes on... hmmm... after typing the above, even i, myself am pretty convinced to start using this as my primary email account. should i? hmm.. let me think about it. for now, the attachment with gmail is still kinda great...
but really! go sign up with inbox.com for your free 2GB now! url? err.. www.inbox.com lor... and like yahoo, click on the email icon at the top left of the page.
enjoy =)
