beerme1 Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Up yours! I found out when talking to a still employed Adelphia tech, that when they switch us over to roadrunner.com for our e mail, they are reducing our inbound and outbound capacity to 5mb. It's currently 10mb and sometimes that isn't enough. C'mon FIOS.
Fezmid Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 You should get a GMail account - over 2G of storage, it rocks. If you need an invite, let me know. CW
beerme1 Posted February 6, 2007 Author Posted February 6, 2007 Thanks Fez. I have heard of this G mail but didn't think I need it until I get my next phone. So I am not really sure what it is but am guessing it's a web based e mail service?

You can view it on your phone as well if you have internet access on the phone - works well. http://www.gmail.com Looking at the site, it appears that you can register an account if you give them your cell phone number (they'll text you a message). Otherwise, you can IM me your email address and I can send you an invite that way if you're interested.

MattyT Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Just to add a wrinkle here, you can automatically forward email from your current Adelphia/TW account to Gmail to ease your transition.

I have noticed that if I send some pictures in a smaller than original size that they tend to lose some detail. The camera is a digital rebel and I know the pictures are huge if I just send them in the originl size, but I don't get why TW would cut us in half anyway. They are going to use the same equipment.

I advocate Gmail as well, but did you know that even Yahoo email has 1 GB of free storage?

I still champion ASCII text. RTF if pushed... And vector graphics and their small file size.

I used to be a Yahoo advocate and still maintain an account there, but their new interface is slow. Plus it seems to take forever to actually get to my email. If I click a direct link to an email from my personalized yahoo page it makes me log in (no problem) and then loading, loading, loading, loading, then it takes me to the mail home page (which contains little more than Yahoo news headlines ), then I have to go into my inbox (more loading), then I can finally access the email that I had originally clicked on 5 minutes ago.

No wonder they went bankrupt. Even their techs are stupid. Doh.
