In.com – Shortest email address provider

Posted by Dickey on Nov 15th, 08 | Filed under Internet | 7 Comments

In.com is a free email service from India. It provides @in.com email address, 10GB storage and user-friendly AJAX interface.

After you login to your Inbox, you will found that In.com has a very similar interface with Yahoo Mail. Both of them are using AJAX, and they will open new mail/item at a new tab.

The most interesting feature from In.com is they provide the shortest email address. It makes your email address easy to remember by others. In.com has built-in antivirus scanner and spam filter. But unfortunately, it doesn’t support SMTP and POP3. So, you can only use their web interface to access your inbox.

Although Gmail and Yahoo Mail provide more features, but you may try In.com if you want to have a short email address.

Sometimes, my freinds keep sending or forwarding meaningless emails to me, which really annoying me especially when i was busy. But the problem is i don’t know how to ask them to stop doing so ( actually some of the mails do bring me some info, but most of them just wasting my time!).

As i go through this article, i found StopForwarding.Us may help me. Simply provide your friend’s name and email address, and it will send an email to your friend and ask them to stop forwarding meaningless emails. Your freind will not know who is the person that complain about his/her action and most probably they will though someone is spying on their computer!

Your friend will receive an anonymous email which ask them to stop spamming/forwarding emails and he will recognize his errors in sending those meaningless emails. This is the email that he will receive.

I personally think that it would be better if let us to include our name or email. So that our friend can only exclude our name in their “mailing list” while let the others interested people still able to read their mails.

Yahoo had add two new domains – Ymail and Rocketmail for its Email service.

But, when you try to register a new account, and you found that some one had already chosen the name, what will you do? Use the recommend name or think another one? Or you will give up Yahoo mail and switch to another Email provider?

With the new domains, Yahoo believe more users will stay with them and can get their desired username. To register with the new domains, simply click the signup button, and choose your domain when you provide your yahoo ID.

Filemail – Use email to send 2GB attachments

Posted by Dickey on May 24th, 08 | Filed under Internet, Tips, Web 2.0 | 5 Comments

Filemail is a new service which allow users to attach 2GB files through email.

A lot of free email providers will limit the attachments size. Normally, they not allow more than 10MB attachments. Even we can use online file storing services , but it is very troublesome if a single file’s size is larger than 100MB. It is because most of the free online file storing services will limit the file size to 100MB.

Filemail is a solution for you, if you need to send large attachments through email. So, how does Filemail works? It actually store your files in their server and encrypt it through a 128but AES algorithm. Your recipients will then receive an email with the download details. They can then download your attachments through the given link.

You can use your existing email address while sending the mail. Registration is not required. The advance options let you decide the download limit and the number of days until the files being removed.

Note: The sender and recipient can be blank, which means you can get the download link and send it to your friends manually.
