how'd you find it?
to me it's quite nice

Dear Paradigm,

I tried locos.com a while back at the suggestion of another member, shelded, who hasn't been around in a while. Personally, I wasn't impressed because I could never get the options (autoreply and such) to work except for the color schemes. BTW, the last I heard locos.com wasn't taking new sign-ups. How long have you had your account?

Best wishes,
David P.

You don't mean lycos.com by any chance do you?

I signed up for locos this morning, so they are taking new signups. But, the first thing that I noticed about it....when you login, it takes you directly to your newest message, which is already opened. I do not have the preview message checked. That definitely is not a good sign. I personally do not want messages opened before I screen them.

It really does have some nice themes, though. Especially a Rocky Mountains view.

Dear MAILfreak,

No, I meant locos.com. I had "Automatically parse URLs" disabled so it didn't create a link. Sorry for any part that might have played in your confusion.

Best wishes,
David P.

Oh, that's so funny!

He has cadged an old Freeservers login page, but behind it there is regular Imail 7 with KillerWebMail templates, 10 MB with POP and IMAP access to the mail server!

There's POP/IMAP access? what is it? I tried locos.com and mail.locos.com, didn't work...

Should be http://www.locos.com

I'm sorry, I wasn't clear. I mean the POP/IMAP access, not the website address.

The trick is to enter the webmail, and then to use the URL you found there.

http://www.838383.com:8383/

is the webmail login -- netmongol.com, formerly of poetworld.com/.net and shim.net

outsource your own mail solution for only $25 a month for up to 1000 users. . .

http://www.netmongol.com/nm_m/single_domain.html

Or, in simpler terms, www.838383.com with full address login works.

Username: <user>@locos.com (must use full email address)
IMAP: mail.locos.com
