Where is your email? Some on the computer at home?
Some at work? Even more on your free web mail account? What if you could have one place to check email, and have it look and act just like your favorite email application?
ODDPOST (www.oddpost.com)offers all of this and more. With it's slick interface, and lightning fast speed, you will forget you are using webmail. The menus and buttons work just like an application. No annoying wait for the page to refresh like other free webmail offerings. The address book import feature worked flawlwessly, without the usual format problems found when importing .CSV files. The The calendar feature is still in development, but promises to beat the free options when completed.
The annual fee is currently $30. A reasonable cost for me, as I travel for business, and appreciate having a single clean source for my email.

Oddpost is excellent and I fully agree with this review.
<br>
<br>I haven't found a better user interface. True, it's still developing - for example a calender and events scheduler have just been added and are still in development. There are also some tiny niggles with the interface, I'm asking them to fix these.
<br>
<br>Something I find extremely useful: you can edit your 'from' and 'reply-to' address which makes it ideal to hook up with your own domain name.
<br>
<br>Just one bad point: I've been travelling the world, and although Oddpost has worked everywhere the interface is slow on old computers/dodgy internet connections, in particular it took an age in the cook islands. Was a lot slower than some of the more conventional webmail accounts.
<br>
<br>But I ain't changing!
