(06/06/2005) Change in Free E-Mail Provider

After a few requests for a 1freeworld e-mail address, I took a look at the free e-mail service I was using for this purpose: Zap Zone Network. I've used Zap Zone for this purpose for several years and I took a look at things to see how it was working.
I found that the two e-mail accounts I setup were gone. When I once again setup a "webmaster@1freeworld.zzn.com" account, I noticed some very troubling changes. They now state that you are "required" to install Zango Messenger to use their service.
Folks, Zango Messenger and the associated Zango software is a particularly NASTY piece of spyware. I did some more reading and found that a lot of people are not happy about this change either. I decided to shop around for a new provider for a free e-mail service.
I've set things up with Everyone.net and their sponsored e-mail service. Yeah, you'll get some advertising, but what free e-mail service doesn't. I have not changed the e-mail link yet, but you can access it for now at:
http://free.1freeworld.net
The new e-mail addresses will read:
<username>@free.1freeworld.net
Please, DO NOT use the ZZN service on my current e-mail page and I strongly recommend that you DO NOT use any e-mail service being served by Zap Zone Network or anyone that mentions Zango Messenger on their site. I will be revamping the entire site soon but I will hope to make the e-mail page change soon to reflect the new service.

After setting up my own address, I have noticed that there are links in their system to the Zango Messenger. It is not mandetory however, and I STRONGLY recommend that you do not use it. I e-mailed the company about Zango, but I honestly do not expect a reply. I will be placing a warning about Zango on the e-mail page. Whether this angers the provider or not, I do not care. This is a nasty piece of software. You can do a Google and see for yourself.
I also read that if you do not use your account after length of time, they will delete the account. If you sign up for one, I recommend you use it at least once per month. Yahoo does something similar and deactivates unused e-mail accounts over time, so I'm not troubled by this.
