Unlimited mail storage at You've Got Post

[kelvinlym]

There's this new webmail I found which claims to offer unlimited webmail storage.

Go to http://www.youvegotpost.com

You get an initial 100MB and after 90 days you get your account upgraded to unlimited.

BUT, it explicitly states that all incoming and outgoing mail to @<hidden> will be DELETED.

I don't know what's the deal about this. A case of David going against Goliath? Wonder who'll start using their service. I don't think they'll last long (in my opinion), cause it might just go down into webmail nothingness.

And their contact address is Malaysia!

why you want unlimited email storage? currently the mail space is enough for us, unless you really need a super mega virtual hard disk to save all of your mail. yahoo offer 100mb and its move makes me becoming very lazy because i exercise my fingers less and less. ^-^ (i have many yahoo account also)

maybe i will try it for fun. just maybe.

Cos in technology, there is no limit??
We ask for more as time goes by.... we used to have 386 those days, then pentium 1, 2, 3, 4..... and it goes on and on....
Now, we may feel 100mb is more than enough....how about in future? Will u say that 100mb is still enough? Maybe not... :wink:

I agree with pandaboy ... you can't predict future when it comes to technology and stuff ...

Bill Gates' famous blunder: "640K ought to be enough for anybody." --Bill Gates, 1981 (640K system memory? todays PC won't even boot up)

Microsoft's: "DOS addresses only 1 Megabyte of RAM because we cannot imagine any applications needing more." --Microsoft, 1980, on the development of DOS. (heh you WERE damn right M$!)

Now that's a pretty stupid thing to do.. :?

[kelvinlym]

I ditto that.

Wonder what's the point? If they want to prove a point, wouldn't it be better to have footers on every mail message promoting their services? Say why theirs is better than google or something. Rather than deleting mails to gmail.

Stupid marketing move, IMHO.

Like a small kid merajuk cos he can't have his way.

Reviewer: A customer from Australia
The guy who runs the You've Got Post system is an absolute scumbag. He likes to use aliases - his current webmaster, Amy, is almost definitely a front. His name is Greg Lloyd Smith. Type his name into Google, see what pops up.

After unsuccessfully trying to take a company called Frugalescrow public (total loss) he went on to bigger things. MPC Trading, the company allegedly behind Youvegotpost, also dabbles in small time porn sites and whatever else he thinks can turn a quick buck. All this is fueled by officialspin.com, the 'press release' site he uses to try to promote the companies he backs, and to flame people who look at what he does with a careful eye.

GLS is the genius who originally conceived of registering www.amazon.com.gr in Greece, and then tried to sell it back to Amazon for millions. He was sued by Amazon using the RICO (Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organizations) stautes, and the URL now belongs to Amazon.

GLS also tried to sue Nike, but nothing came of that either.

This guy is a nasty piece of work. He is also a complete failure as a businessman.

If you do a little research on You've Got Post you'll find that they claim to be based in the UK, yet their business name isn't registered there. Their press releases claim that they are in Malaysia, and their actual servers are located in the US. Judging from "her" emails, the ISP that "Amy" uses is from Greece...not really a surprise considering that GLS is from Greece (hence his registration of the amazon.com.gr domain years back.)

Add to that that their "administrator" "Amy" has admitted to reading emails, and claims that its not illegal because "they aren't US based", and even claimed that there was no such thing as international law!

These are scammers trying to get a quick buck. Use Yahoo or GMail.
