Good Points: No junk mail, full control.
Bad Points: Given one weeks notice that the free email was to close
General comments: I thought i had found the perfect free email until a week ago (16th june) when i got an email from Bluebottle telling me that i would not be able to access my account after the 20th june as the free email was to close.

Great email service. No problems receiving my mail via Apple's Mail application (Apple's email client)... SO, GREAT FOR APPLE MAC'S! With Apple's Mail application there doesn't seem to be any delays between Mail and Bluebottle. Finally an email service without pop-ups and no spam and works perfectly with my MAC!
Don't know about PC users but MAC users when you are setting up the preferences in Mail SMTP should be port 25, 26 or 587 (some ISP's block port 25). I use 26 with no problems.

I like the no garbage, sell you something ads that cover the pages of other email offers. I do not have to search the page to find a way to get into my mail. I like the fact that bluebottle.com is off the beaten path. When I tell someone my email address, they are curious and investigate for themselves. Not a a lot of dog doo doo on this email site. Love it.
What more can I tell you, bluebottle.com rocks.

Becoming totally unreliable with frequent interruption to service for me, meaning I cannot receive important emails, which are the lifeblood of my business.
I said to think it was a good service, but would no longer recommend Bluebottle. Until they sort their service problems out.

Does anybody know what has happened to the service as I am unable to collect my email via any means as far as I am concerned, I have even phoned the Trusted Delivery company who are supposed to run Bluebottle but just keep getting the run around via a very annoying recorded massage?

Have been using it for over 4 years now, NEVER got ANY SPAM or anything like that. Pending system is easy to understand: you just check the pending-folder -for exemple once a week- for those new contacts, who do not understand the system and allow the good ones and trash the bad ones.Now all servers are dead and the fora also...indeed should they have been on different servers, for now no communication is possible and nobody knows what is going on...The first time in years, these BIG problems.Re ...

Pretty much everything else about it has been a bad experience for me. Often times there are server problems which delay the receipt of emails for weeks at a time in my experience. I'm still receiving emails from March when they had server problems then. Comcast has blocked the entire Blue Bottle server ISP due to spamming as far as I am aware, and now I can't even seem to email between my own accounts! Comcast has a procedure to unblock ISP's, however, as far as I am concerned Blue Bottle has ...

I have found it to be a great email package, and only rate it lower because of the extended periods of unavailability. But it's free, so can't complain that much! Therefore I do recommend Blue Bottle.com

It's always a good idea to not offer a product before the kinks are worked out. I'm wondering how great an idea it was to open this account. They were rated as 6 out of a field of the top 10 free sites; this makes me wonder what the remaining 4 are like. Therefore I do not recommend BlueBottle.com

Apparently they have now closed the doors for good. POP, SMTP, IMAP - you name it - is down once again, but this time, the outage include their support forum at forums.bluebottle.com and even the website is down.So much for them stating they were getting their resources in place. Now, there's no way to contact them to get a refund for us paying users as they promised.Luckily, noone can sign up, as they cannot go to bluebottle.com.

The infrastructure of this service for me personally recently became apparent when bluebottle servers were not accepting emails or delaying them for days at time for well over a week as far as I am concerned. No public announcement of the issue was displayed anywhere on the website, and in the forums, bluebottle representatives refused to discuss what was causing the problem in my opinion.

The last two weeks of March 2008 have been a disaster for them. I have lost lots of emails as they have simply been undeliverable, to which I find out later when my contacts rewrite asking where my response is in my experience. Also, during this time many contacts report emails to me being returned to them after they have written. When bluebottle is contacted they blame Trusted Delivery Pty Ltd as far as I am concerned. I don't care whom you blame, just fix it! If these down times didn't happen, ...

Strange Spam protection in my opinion, uses pending folder--must disable it in reality.SMTP server has been down over a week.
Reliability seems to leave something to be desired. Probably ok for a throw away account, but not for your primary account as far as I am aware.

Smtp works with ip cameras for email notification. Many free web based email providers don't.
Nothing bad for me to say. A good engine with no faults as yet, well recommend BlueBottle.com

This is the best email service i have ever used, and i have used many. More safe than Gmail (spam and virus). If you are tired of spam messages like me, try bluebottle, you never get any spam in the future.

I have had this service for about 2 years, and it is fantastic! I chose to buy into one of the pay mail services so I can send bigger files sizes, and it was well worth the money. Plus, they let you pay with paypal!

It's OK as a second email account. You can store your old funnies and old emails on this account.
As for reliability - forget it.
