MSN Hotmail,
Rediff, Sify, Gmail, Yahoo! Mail and similar types of
widely-used (and free) e-mail accounts are popular and
easy to set up. However, despite their popularity, such
e-mail accounts present their users with a number of
inconveniences; inconveniences that can be avoided with
our robust, versatile and richly featured personalized
e-mail accounts..
Users of MSN Hotmail, Yahoo!
Mail and similar types of e-mail accounts may have
to deal with any of the following types of
inconveniences and annoyances: |
|
-
With
mass-market e-mail accounts, including MSN Hotmail
and Yahoo! Mail users share their e-mail domains
(e.g., "@hotmail.com," "@msn.com," or ".yahoo.com")
with millions of other users, which makes it
impossible to create
a truly unique e-mail identity for you and/or your
business.
-
Users of
Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail, etc. are
frequently being pestered with unwanted and
intrusive on-page advertisements. Ad
placement is one of the main reasons that these
providers can offer their services for free.
-
Hotmail
and Yahoo! Mail users are more likely than most
other e-mail users to be blitzed
with electronic spam.
-
Hotmail and Yahoo! Mail
networks are prone to attacks by phishers, pharmers,
hackers, crackers and other cyber crooks
who attempt to steal sensitive information or plant
e-mail worms, Trojan Horses and other malware.
-
Online merchants might refuse
your order. Much Internet fraud the vast
majority, in fact is associated with
mass-market e-mail accounts, such as Hotmail and
Yahoo! Mail. Some merchants simply refuse to accept
orders that originate from them.
-
You might lose your account
if you do not use it within a certain time.
Sure, that is not a big deal if you use it
only for casual, occasional contacts. But it is
crucial if you used it to register at Web sites, for
example. If there are problems with your account and
your e-mail address is expired, youīre out of luck.
-
It is next to impossible to
get an e-mail address that is easily useable, let
alone memorable. Because of the large
amount of users that share these domains, the risk
of selecting an e-mail address that is already taken
is very high. There are simply too many variations
in circulation. In many cases, users are forced to
find an alternative address as addresses like "myname@gmail.com,"
"myname@hotmail.com," or "myname@yahoo.com" may well
be unavailable.
-
Some of these e-mail
accounts may include unwanted advertising insertions
in your outgoing e-mail. Do you really
want to be advertising an e-mail providerīs
promotions when you are applying for a job, or
registering a complaint, or communicating with
friends
-
Because
users of Hotmail and Yahoo! Mail accounts share
their Internet domains with millions of other users
across the Web, they run the
risk of having their e-mail
addresses accidentally blacklisted by
recipients that decide to block entire domains from
their inboxes, rather than just specific e-mail
addresses. Such blanket blacklistings thus may hurt
users that arenīt guilty of spamming or any other
netiquette breaches.
