Now here's the thing. They claim unlimited space, unlimited attachments,
and no ads.

What's the catch?

That didn't take me long. At the first link I found the following:

"You must provide a valid email address, which is under your control
or your request for a YGP account will be deleted."

Nope. I don't give me main email address to ANY ****ing website. Period.
 
I can't seem to find any info on it, but at first glance my impression is
that it is not actually an email service, but an email forwarding service.

Well I thought I'd go ahead and give it a try. Here is my short review:

It's pretty fast and has no advertiesment. I could not import my address
book. I e-mailed a big file to myself there and it says I still have
976.56 GBs left.

So, seems pretty cool to me.

Just tried it but it and it defintiely seems to allow 976.56gb!!!!!!

But it won't let me create new folders even though the, when I click
on Folders, there is the facility to create new folders!!! I get the
message:-

You have reached the maximum number of folder permitted (0).

The method for creating new folders is there in the help files but it
just does not work :-(

Anyone tried that feature with success?

And another problem - just forwarded an email to my new account there
and it BOUNCED because it had a .eml attachment!!:-

"This message has been rejected because it has
a potentially executable attachment "test.eml"
This form of attachment has been used by
recent viruses or other malware.
If you meant to send this file then please
package it up as a zip file and resend it."

Sort of defeats the purpose if you can send a potential virus in a zip
file?!?!

Gawab.com shall design html pages using the information provided by

Webmaster operating under the "Basic Service" contract is prohibited from

Gawab.com provides you with a FREE service, therefore it shows
advertisements within your account, by signing up for an account with
Gawab.com you agree to:

a.. See advertisements within your e-mail box.

b.. Receiving advertisements occasionally by e-mails from third parties.

I think its an e-mail service for persons having a website or domain.
Viewers or contacts would be e-mailing through gawab.com and there are
advertisements involved.

It's pretty fast and has no advertisement. Address book could not be
imported When a big file was emailed to self address there and it says
there is
976.56 GBs e-mail storage left.

quoted From the YGP forum
YGP was created without limits in mind. There are some restrictions; for
example, you cannot receive email into your YGP mailbox and have it
automatically forwarded to another account somewhere else. That one makes
sense. Then, you cannot collect your YGP email via POP3 (Outlook etc.,)
'cause we want you to visit our webmail service. Otherwise, the values that
are used to 'limit' storage, etc., are 'expandable' values; so for example,
when you get to 10,000 folders, the system will authorize a further 10,000
folders. Storage is 999GB, but again, that is expandable by a further 999GB

We are about to launch a prepaid global dialup service, which will be
optional, available in about 100 countries.

Our owner(s) are investors who are able to support this business as a
FreeMail service, we we think we can bring in some extra revenue with the
dialup.
You've Got Post Limited is to offer an affordable global Internet access
which will serve around 100 countries!

We want to continue to offer FreeMail with no ads, and no limits so the guys
in the head-office have come up with the idea of prepaid dialup, which if
just a few of the YGP users take up, will keep our lights on.

I (YGP Administrator)can confirm that we will never charge for the webmail
(we call it FreeMail). Our big cheeze thinks that we can generate all the
cash we need, by offering a prepaid dialup to the users who wish to
participate.

This is a Canadian company,
I can't quite figure out their 'prepaid dialup' concept other than it is
like the service that AOL has....numbers available everywhere....
But it looks like as long as access to Internet web site is available then
e-mail is available.

This is an alternative when one does not have a server and on the road then
at any public internet service this web mail would be available....or its a
source for 'reply address' to continue on the resistance against 'spam etc.
e-mail'.

I thought I didn't either until I looked in Yahoo's "Bulk" folder. I don't
know what service you use but you may want to check if they think it's
spam.
