WawaMail. 10 GB...

[Ikannz]

Hello!

New e-mail service is WawaMail.

http://wawamail.com

POP/SMTP/IMAP/SSL/TLS/WWW like Gmail... but do not worry it does have NOTHING to do with Google or any big corporation.

120 users or so for now... join!
Or - at least.
Just see!

Good guys. But they give what they don't have.
1) I don't believe they have more then 10TB
2) The traffics is slow as hell.
But I'll support them somehow...
I respect that they have no ads.

I just joined Wawamail.com. It's pretty fast for me. But not many users yet. I like the fact that IDLE works in IMAP.

[Dreamy]

War1, is it fast there?
Here I wait 4 seconds just to find hostname and page loads cca. 15kB/s
Mmmm, now 50. I think they have some problems with overloads...
But... Really good mail server for free. I found many very nice features on webmail. And I usually hate webmails.

[war1]

When I say fast, I mean that webmail renders immediately, and send and receive test emails show up immediately. I use a slow DSL connection, but live in Los Angeles, not too far from Palo Alto.

[Dreamy]

It has really good speed now. Maybe something crashed somewhere when I tested it first time.
Good mailserver, thank you Ikannz.

In case anyone hasn't been following the threads over at emaildiscussions, this is a graduate student project by a guy at Stanford University so, although feedback seems to be pretty positive, there's no guarantee that it will be around for the long haul.

[Ikannz]

Yes well it is the main reason why I have closed mailbox on this server - it is by one person only.

Also I wish to wait until megatick.com would work as well.

The traffics is too slow for me to have enough patience to use an email server like that.
After all, it works well by PP.

To access your account using a POP3 or IMAP email client the settings you will need are as below....
Incoming (POP) Server - mail.wawamail.com
Outgoing (SMTP) Server - mail.wawamail.com

Username - your full wawamail.com email address

The pop did work indeed but the smtp i could not let that work.
Cant figure out what the smtp must be to ssl or not to ssl and authentifacte etc.

[Dreamy]

No SSL:
Server: mail.wawamail.com
Port: 25
Requires same authorisation as pop/imap (means you@wawamail.com as name).

SSL:
Same settings, port 465

TLS:
Same settings, port 25.


All these worked for me fine.

Very good server... IMAP with SSL works there fine.

[mailfreak]

Ok did all i could to let smtp work no luck whatsoever.
So use your own.

But i could not find out if indeed it has a emailbox for 10 GB and what are the sizes to receive and send attachments?

What will the antispam be cos i did not see any functions to that.
And what kind of antivirus do wawa use?

Blocklist will be great and some function to turn of remote images and delete messages witch X size attachments OR the file extention like EXE ZIP or RAR.

But IMAP works here in Europe like thunder.
1 message in 1 Mb size took me a few seconds to get into my pc.

[mailfreak]

I ll try it asap.

NOW were talking.

Thanks bro.

[Dreamy]

Just to let you know, seems like the service is closed, the web was unreachable for days already, now it looks like the server is down at all. I wrote a mail to owner, just to be sure, no answer till now...

[war1]

Wawamail IMAP was working this morning. It is not working now.

[Dreamy]

That's exactly what I am talking about. But the web is down a longer time already (at least two days afaik).

*a*

Wawamail was a class project that I was working on while I was
studying at Stanford. I have since graduated and so the project is
now done.

Thanks for checking in,

I have to say that I don't completly understand his reply... I thought 'done' means 'finished & working', not 'closed'. Anyway, this is RH's reply.
