You can select the language used in the webmail. But, at least with the spanish translation is really bad; Google automatically will do better (for example, "Diziembre" instead of "Diciembre", "Correctura" instead of "Corrección" and "Zita" instead of "Cita", and all of that just in the first screen I have seen.

IMHO, it will last than the time required to access your inbox. It is incredible how sloooooooow can be this service.

First, the good news ........
I opened an account yesterday, to try it. The registration was easy. The webmail looked good, but negotiation was slow. Features were excellent. Smtp worked well and fast.
Now for the bad news ....
This looks like a clone of m2x . Like m2x, it uses non-standard pop3 port. I think pop3 works, but no emails are detected by my email client..
I sent test emails to it, from several sources. They disappeared into a black hole. No error reply messages as yet. Nothing appeared in webmail.
Today, the webmail was a complete shambles, unmanageable. I don't think any of my test messages were in there.
My guess is, this will go to a paid service within the next few months, with the free service cut back to the bone, if it still exists at all.
Sometimes, I wonder why I bother.

Someone has to do it... and we love you for it!

No way this service can survive financially. Even if the creators have the technical knowhow and skills, how is this service going to keep head above water when they don't charge anything to their users?

hmm, of course you are right.
but they offer paid service too, that means they have income, but it is not much i think.

As mentioned before, test messages I send to demail, disappear into a black hole.
However, one message I sent to it three days ago, has turned up today.
This would be a better service, if they got these delays speeded up, and the webmail cured of it's rigor mortis.
