Once again onetel customers cannot d/load any e mails; probably same
for talktalk too.

It's appalling that network status page on web site shows e mail is
"active & responding";
rubbish Mr Dunstone.

I considered this sort of option, but as my club's web-hosting had to be
changed twice in about 3 years, due to the companies going bust, is there
any advantage?

Not sure that I like the idea of web-based e-mail, e.g. Google.

It's not rocket science, you know.

I don't like it either, but Googlemail can be POP3'd easily enough, I use
it for my domain mail forwarding as well, and it's worked a treat since the
outset.

Ah, POP3, thanks.
Google seems to need cookies all the while; Yahoo needs a cookie for its
own use (fair enough) but not for other sites (easy to set up in Opera) and
seems to have a better privacy policy than does Google.

Any one have opinions on either, please?

These alternatives to ISPs could be useful to many people.

I look after 14 email addresses on 8 different ISP's / email providers.
The only one that periodically has outages if OneTel !
It's been doing it for years. Why can't Talk Talk sort them out ?

And today the 22nd it's down yet again.
