[Gllug] mail2web.com and similar ways of reading POP or IMAP

[Andrew Black]

Hi there
For some time I have been using mail2web.com for the rare times I have 
neither got access to an IMAP client nor can SSH to the server hosting 
my mail.

I have recently found they have a rather simplistic view of sending 
mail. If you send mail to xxx at domain.example it tries sending it to 
domain.example!  Attempts to interest their support monkeys in 
understanding what an MX record is are falling on deaf ears.  They keep 
blaming the mail server at domain.example for "bouncing" the mail when 
the problem (as far as I can diagnose) is they are trying to send it to 
the wrong host!

The problem has been noticed on more than one domain where the domain 
has MX record(s) but no A records.

So I am inclined to ditch them, unless anyone else can take the issue up 
in parallel with me. So any suggestions for a cluefull alternative way 
of reading POP or IMAP mail.

Andrew
