Very true and that is what Sprint was thinking, but they forgot about the other people (like TurboTiger and I) that have to use a third party server.
Are you saying that Gmail and Yahoo (web-based email) will let you send other providers email from their SMTP server?
If I just used PCS Email for email, then I would just switch to a free external service like Gmail, hotmail and other and be done (as a matter of fact, I have a hotmail account and use it like crazy). I could just send a blanket email to everyone telling them that I have a new email adress.
Do you have a solution for poeple like TurboTiger and I that use the free PCS Email SMTP server to send email from other accounts?
I didn't know Everyone.net would let you send email from other servers then there own, does Everyone.net charge to use their SMTP server? I assume they do. I wish Time Warner did that (let you send from other servers)...
Here is how it currently works for me...
Hotmail: I use this address for anytime anyone that I don't know needs my email address (to buy stuff, sign up for things, message board use, etc). In this way, I keep Spam and junk off my personal email.
Road Runner (my ISP): I use this for email to people that I know and trust.
PCS mail: I use this for close family since no matter where I am at, it will "push" the email to my phone. I also use this to send emails for Road Runner from my Treo.
I have been doing this for years, ever since I had my Treo300
To use Hotmail, I have to log into the hotmail site and use their combersome interface. With RoadRunner, I can lauch Chatter and it's just like being at home. If I loose thie featrure, the I will have to log into the Road Runner webmail which is comersome like Hotmail.
Once this changes, I will have to log into email from the web like I do for hotmail which makes it a pain, not as stream line and such.
Unlike now, where I can lauch Chatter and have it send/receive five different email accounts from three different providers at one time, I'll have to go use this long song and dance...
