It would've been nice if my experience was the same. I found their  
servers dreadfully slow, and at the time it would take an hour or so  
to create a mailbox. That was a couple of years back, but even  
recently I have no confidence in them as I ordered a domain name onto  
my account, and a couple of hours later it still wasnt registered, so  
while I was waiting for them to register it, I registered it with  
someone else.

Also, after leaving them and closing my account, they still send me  
promo emails. I ask them to stop, and they email back saying 'log  
into your account'. I explain I have no account, and they go quiet.  
So, I get some spam once in a while..
