In an older post, I raved about the online mail service called  OddPost.

I’d like to recommend another really cool service, called Mail2Web, which lets you pick up your POP mail without cost and without even registering.  It’s got nowhere near the nifty interface of OddPost, but it’s free and it’s useful for when you must check more than one POP account.  They’ve even got a companion site called
Mail2PDA.  Very cool!

When a cranky computer I was using overseas would not connect to OddPost, I found it worked quite well with Mail2Web.  Give both services a try!

Okay, so I’m a bit behind the blogtimes here, but I just wanted to chime in and say that OddPost is da bomb. It’s a mail service that — gasp — isn’t free, but it’s worth every penny a day that the $30/year amounts to.

30 megs of space. Drag and drop e-mail. Fast fast interface. No ads.

There are, I admit, a few downsides to it: currently no filtering at all, doesn’t work with EVERY system (and in fact requires IE 5.0 to work), and it gets a little depressing seeing all the free Hotmail terminals at airports.

But overall, I give it a big thumbs up, and have already personally registered. Give it a try: there’s a free 30-day demo.
