AHahahahahhhahahahhahahahahhh.....wait wait...hahahahahahahahahaahahaaahahhha. Even in 2006 this would've been hilarious. Lycos SUCKS. Worst email EVER. If you want to see emails disappear into the aether, have your important stuff spamguarded while the real spam gets through in droves because Lycos gives it up like a drunk 3rd world hooker, be my guest. I wouldn't wish Lycos Mail on my worst enemy. I've NOT ONCE gotten spam at Gmail. Never. Streamlined and easy use, unlike the eyesore that is Lycos Mail. Lycos Email “topping” Gmail?

There are a number of providers out there charging for this service alone, so clearly there's a market for it. For example, I'm taking a class right now that requires me to scan large amounts of material and forward it to my classmates. File sizes can range from 3 to 30MB. Rather than splitting up the files into the lowest-common-limit, or trying to host them on a web page, I'm going to recommend that they all get a Lycos account. They'll check it as often as necessary during the course, and once it's over, they needn't care any more, thus circumventing the 30 day rule. Better yet, I can create a single account we can all share, name it after the class, and once the class is done, we won't care if it gets cancelled. I've got to agree about the interface, though. I'm browsing in FF with external pics not loading. Strangley, the banners come thru just fine, but Lycos's own icons (envelopes, trash, etc.) are replaced with text links. Yahoo is particularly bad about this. Gmail is no problem at all. For now, I stick with Gmail. The seller here is definitely the unlimited attachment size.
