Well, I had thought that my email service provider had solved all their “teething” problems, but I was wrong. The problems are starting all over again. It started like a few days ago, I couldn’t receive or send all mails from MyRealBox. And it is getting very irritating for me. So if any of you send me mails and I did not reply, please be patient for a while. Well, you can access their web mail, but POP mail is out. It gives an error saying that the server is not responding. If you are sending mails, then it says that there are too many connections. I find it weird that their POP is having problems but their webmail is working perfectly fine. Webmail should take up more resources than POP right? And sending mails from the webmail is working too.

What is really happening? Is MyRealBox aiming to be a free web-based email service rather than a POP mail service? Webmail services actually is a more profitable business than a POP mail service since you can actually put advertisements directly on your web interface. Which you can’t do in a POP mail service. Sure, you can send advertisements through email, but this can be largely ignored while the advertisements on a website (or your web based email) cannot be easily removed.

Well, I really don’t want to use a web-based email service. It’s just too slow and inconvenient, having to login every time I need to access my mails and waiting for the page to load. Looks like I may be changing to Gmail mail soon. Or maybe I would use one of my domain’s email account. But this is highly undesirable since I may not keep all my domains and I surely don’t want to restrict the bandwidth limited to my site by my service provider. Decisions, decisions….
