“Great for non-business usage”

Laura E.
5/21/23

I don't understand the negative reviews listed here. I've used Mail.com for a month, and haven't had any issues mentioned at all. I'm not a business, just using it for my personal and genealogy use. I like the clean and organized interface, the presentation of the service, the ease of use, lots of features for a free account. The things I don't like about it, s the service will log you out after a small period of time of inaction. It's a bit cumbersome to get to your email box. It also provides unnecessary messages, such as leaving the email site, informing you're waiting for more than 3 seconds, "click here" option. It seems to me they gear a lot of that for beginners. About 99% of people don't need that handholding. With that, I would never use this service for a business or business related use, as it doesn't provide encryption the emails. So for someone who wants an nice email service for personal use for friends, clubs, and bloggers, this is a great option.

“Account was closed by their mail.com system with out any notice and all of our emails and data were”

Account was closed by their mail.com system with out any notice and all of our emails and data were cancelled I wonder how can they stay on the market with such a miserable service Perhaps they pay some freelancer from india, balgladesh or pakistan to code their mail.com webmail Maybe that's a love story between mail.com and the pakistani programmer? And perhaps they don't want to hire anyone else? Data dell'esperienza: 14 febbraio 2024

Since 2013 I've had my account. It has typical features. I have 12 folders added to sort mail. It has good spam control. Aft I got familiar with its differences find is easy to use, as any other free webmail.

Tip for consumers:
Works great

Products used:
I have the free version and it works great!

I've been using mail.com for over 20 years without one problem. I initially created the mail.com account as an expendable burner account back in the 1990's but it worked fine and I got a great email address so I just kept using it. I used it for things where I didn't want my business email exposed to advertisers and spammers. I had other similar free accounts from other providers that I abandoned when the spam got to thick. But the mail.com account never got hopelessly overrun with spam so I've kept it and used it regularly. Perhaps they have a lower tolerance for spammers. I was just reading their reviews and most people who left poor reviews complained of being blocked. I wonder why? Perhaps they are the spammers. I've have been an IT professional and Systems Analyst for over 30 years. I don't know anything at all about mail.com as a company, who they are, where they are, their fitness, etc. I only know I've have been using my mail.com account for over 20 years without a single hiccup. I even prefer it over my gmail account. I've recommended mail.com to others who have used it for years also without problems. So there you have it. My $0.02 is 5 stars.

First time I opened my account I was blocked, I wrote to them and they opened it. This can be frustrating but it's there way of avoiding spam. Still once you get pass their security issue, it's easy sailing. Also, I cannot complain, maybe it's because I have patience that I don't mind taking the extra step to bypass the ad to get to my email. All in all, they are pretty good, never had an issue. I am not bombarded with ads like I was with hotmail.com.

I have had an mail.com account for several years, because google.com is banned in China but this works. Chose an 'email.com' moniker as it is easy for everyone to remember, although often get asked if I really meant 'gmail.com'. But have not had any problems so far, works like any other email as far as I can tell.
Oh, one gripe is that my emails often end up in the receivers spam / junk mailbox so other servers obviously don't recognise it sometimes. Don't know what I can do about that, but then I have never tried to.

P. S@ Devan N. Hasn't happened yet and I / they have sorted the junk email problem - seems they were marking my emails as spam because I use a VPN [being in China] and my IP address kept changing. They have since white-listed me and no problem since.

Contrary to other reviewers, I love this email provider, but only because I use it exclusively for my junk mail. I use it as an extra email for online stores I don't visit often or newsletters. It also has nice extensions, instead *******@hotmail *******@gmail, you can pick something different. I *******@gardener and I use it for all the gardening sites newsletters I sign up for. They also don't ask for security, or verification, or phone number ect, just basic email.

I wouldn't think of paying to upgrade though, or using my personal info, business info or credit card info on this website. Just a great extra email for my unimportant stuff!

I'm willing to bet that most of the negative reviews on here for Mail.com are fake. Their email services are fantastic! I've never had one single issue with this company. I sync all of my emails, contacts, calendars, notes and reminders with them without any delays or missed communication. Their premium services and customer support has be nothing but A+. I would much rather pay to use their services (with *******@mail.com email address using my actual name) than use Gmail or iCloud where it's next to impossible to find an available name, having to add numbers and whatever else that hasn't been used. You might have to take a few extra steps to sync everything correctly by using CalDav and CardDav settings, but it's ridiculously easy and quick to do.
