OpenTechSupport.Org Email?
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)
Posted by: Canis Lupus
We are planning to put up a FREE email service for Opentechsupport.Org. This kinda works like hotmail, without the spam  Hence, you can sign up to have your own username@opentechsupport.org email, and check it online from whatever computer you are using.
So my question is, do you think this'll be a good feature to have? I was gonna implement it sometime next month, and I wanted to know what the general concensus was for this move. Will you use such an email address? Is it too long? Is it a good or a bad idea?
Let me know your thoughts on this upcoming feature

I voted other because E Mail sucks. If it wasn't for buying online, I wouldn't even have it.
Now the OTS E Mail has a use. Sometimes members ask for computer help directly from me instead of posting in the forums for whatever reason.

Can't you make it something like username@ots.org?
The other one is a little too long for me

OTS.org
OTS.com
OTS.net
All registered to other companies/organizations. 
I dont really need another email account so I voted "Nah, I like my current email".
Also, wouldnt a free email service raise the running cost of this website?

Hmmm, OTS.ORG is taken, unfortunately... How does OTSMAIL.COM sound?
And I'll be using a free service for the OTS emails... just wanted to see if anyone was interested before I move along with it

I voted other because I already have an OTS email address hehe

The domain is already taken tho

I voted I'll keep my email because I've already got three domains with unlimited email addresses on them, so I really don't need free email accounts
The only reason I signed up for Hotmail was so I could check my POP mail from work on breaks. Now, if I could check my POP mail on OTS, THAT would definately be useful - if I had to sign up for an OTS email account to do it, I would, and I'd just never use the OTS email box.
Just my .56 roubles...

I voted that I don't believe in free email because I don't LOL
Seriously, I've had free email on my site before, using everyone.net, about 2 years ago I would have recomended them, but now they have gone down th pan. Because of this, i'm going to kill the web-mail service that I currently have (with everyone.net) and sign-up for bigmailbox.com using the same domain (i've not advertised my webmail service for over a year now, (and I know that only one person uses it) so It should be a nice and simple swap of the MX records on the domain name (which is eerie.org in case anyone is interedted).
I personally think that opentechsupport.org is a little bit too long for an email address, but otsmail.com sounds like a cool idea.
BTW, out of interest, who was you going to use for the mail service? or are you going to be hosting your own (costly)

I've already got another email account which I actively use so the only reason I don't feel compelled to have another email address.

I have a yahoo!mail account which I sometimes use. I have it because I registered on Yahoo to play their online games.

Nah for me. I use gunslinger@opentechsupport.net and my .edu address for just about everything.
However, I do get the impression that poll wasn't so much looking for responses from staff as it was every other member of the OTS community (staffers already have their staff POP3 account).

I will use ots email as a secondary email if it is offered in the future.

I've already got 2 addresses from college, a third would either be too much or unused.
