  1. What's so great about Hotmail? by plashdoy · · Score: 1 · on What Happened To Hotmail?
    For the life of me, I can't figure out why Hotmail is practically synonymous with Web-based email. First to market? Or first to popularize? While I have personally had no complaints or problems with Hotmail, I'd hardly place it in the upper tier of free Web-based email services. I think uReach and iName are superior if only because they don't divulge the originator's IP address. But Netaddress, Mail.com, Mailcity, OneBox, eMail, ExciteMail, GoMail, just about any portal or community site (Deja, Netscape, AltaVista), and any number of smalltime "boutique" services (like ApexMail, Flashmail or MyPad) will do the trick and often with better service or features. Or is MSN's Passport service really that compelling?

    Besides uReach, Yahoo!Mail is the only one I use for "real" mail because I'm hooked by the rest of Yahoo's personalized services, esp. Yahoo!Companion. The rest are just "throwaway's", good for pseudononymous transactions. If you're placing a lot of trust in Hotmail not to lose your data, or keep it secure, or always be available...I think you're being foolish.

  2. Re:(OT?) Linux alternatives for web mail? by belbo · · Score: 1 · on Another Hole in Hotmail
    Hi.
    Don't know if this is what you were asking for, but ApexMail runs on RedHat Linux. Nifty stuff: fast, featureful and gratis (no, I don't get paid by them ;-)).

    Regards

  3. 50 000 clients quite easy. by Strider- · · Score: 2 · on Ask Slashdot: Building a Large Email Service

    Check out www.apexmail.com . they have over 50 000 active clients, running on a totally linux based system. (They use totally custom software). Their setup includes a dual PII 450 file server with a 150 GB RAID (on a Mylex RAID controller). The entire public site runs on 4 or 5 single PII 450s, all on a switched 100BaseT network.
