The Bottom Line
TheMail.com offers nothing better and has no better service than most free Email Providers,there are enough Free Email Providers to choose from.

| Full Review |
The Mail some time ago, offered Free web based Email for its members and also money to receive and send email.
Familiar, "Get Paid to Read & Send Email"
Presently, as of July 2001, members that had email accounts thru The Mail.com, have had their accounts disabled without warning. Members found out about the change by trying to log into their email accounts.
Messages of, "Your account has been disabled" and new policy and monthly payment procedure to remain a member appear as members try to log in to retrieve their email.
Cost: $1.99 mo. or $19.95 a yr.
Members that agree to the terms, are asked to sign up.
No knowledge of whether the member will have the same log in/user name and if their email will still be intact in their email account.
Members that do not agree to the terms, will loose their email account and the email in it.
The Mail claims to need to offer a fee because of the .com
market?
How does a Free, Paying web based email company turn into a Charging web based Email Company?
Other Free Web Based Email Programs, that never had a "get paid to read & send email program", don't charge their members, you would think those companies would be the first to charge a fee.
The Mail claims to offer its paying members fast email service, along with other features:
1. AUTORESPONDER
2. ADDRESS BOOK
3. MAIL FILTERS
4. AUTO FORWARD
5. 10MEG. WEB SPACE
6. FILE MANAGER
7. CALENDAR/REMINDER SERVICE
8. VACATION MESSAGE
I don't know about you, but I don't see anything different or better offered thru TheMail.com email service that would make me want to pay $1.99 a mo. for it.
The Mail offers all the same features, speed and ease of use that most reliable Free web based Email Companies offer, with the exception that the other email providers don't charge a fee.
