Apple Betas Web-based Email Service for iTools

Posted by chrisd on from the steve-jobs-as-snowshoe-thompson dept.

cpk0 writes "As more and more 'free' web-based email services fall, and stop offering all their services for free (e.g. Yahoo! won't offer pop-forwarding for free anymore), Apple once again proves its cool-factor by beta-testing a webmail page for use with their iTools e-mail account members. You will find a beta login page, with a link to a feedback page. Now's the time to tell Apple what you guys want to see in this new feature."

    I've been able to get to my mac.com mail using IMP for a while now, but its nice to see an Apple supported webmail thats part of the iTools site.

    In fact, I wouldnt be suprised if Apple based their wemail stuff on IMP, since it was one of the iTools engineers who pointed me to it at last years Mackworld NY in the first place :)

    Then I guess MS is down right legondary for providing hotmail for free to everyone, no matter what your race, creed or OS choice...
