.Mac servers down

[evildan]

Wow, speaking as someone who didn't buy the service, it even frustrates me. while this does make me feel better for not subscribing, I still feel for you guys who rely on that service.

When my email goes down, my work life comes to a hault. Almost all of my work is submitted to me via email. (from various sources in the US).

Well, this time I only paid the $40 or so, but no way is this worth $100 a year - even if it was up all the time. I don't use their server space or web stuff, just email.

I have a seperate email account for my work, but it still is a major headache when it is hosed.

I know what you mean. My work doesn't allow for off-site email checking (for security reasons). We have a web-based off-line feature, but I don't like to use it.

But finding a POP email account isn't too difficult. Macosx offers one (as you probably already know) that's cheap. I'd use it if I didn't have access to a server where I can set up as many email accounts as I wish. I'm still a bit down that I lost evildan@mac.com, it was such an easy address to pass out to friends. :-(
