When did they scrap Usenet, I'm still getting it fine
However, I must admit the email has become rubbish of late

Is there any use for ISP provided email nowadays?

I thought most folk had cottoned on to webmail or cheap domain names?

Domain name does not equal email, though.

Well, no it doesn't, but I thought most readers would get the jist from
that over saying "cheap domain names supplied with one or more pop3
inboxes" ;-)

Personally, I prefer the simple interface of my pop3 client and still
only download e-mails less than 10k in size automatically and use
selective download for the HTML c**p e-mails that are larger (shades
of v.34). Also, when I fetch e-mails, I don't need to download all the
fancy web page graphics that comes with webmail - an overhead probably
20 times the size of the message I want to read.

Yup, but there's free webmail..

...me too. I just don't get along with webmail at all; to slow, doesn't
integrate with anything, plagued with adverts, poor interfaces that
don't come close to a decent email app, and more importantly you're at
the mercy of the provider as to how long your email is accessible.

But that's why I bought a domain name years ago.. And it's happily seen
me through numerous changes of internet provider without the need to let
everyone know a new address.

Why not?

It's quite easy to have such for your inbox. Easy enough to forward
email onto, and having a generous limit too... I used to use Gmail as an
archive for all my incoming business mail, as well as a POP account.

I don't think businesses should use services such as Hotmail to send
from though, that does portray a touch of unprofessionalism, unless the
"from" line can be changed.
