Anyone here used Onebox as your main e-mail account, and used the forwarding
option to read the e-mail in one's mail reader (OE in my case)?

I thought of doing that, as Onebox has some cool features, such as being
able to hear your e-mail read to you on the phone.

But today my e-mail coming into Onebox has not been forwarded to my pop3
account, as I have it set up to do. That hasn't been working for hours. I
e-mailed their tech support (can't find a phone tech support number), and
just got a vague answer about sometimes there are glitches on the Internet.
For the whole day today, the forwarding doesn't seem to be working.

Now I am seriously reconsidering the idea of using Onebox for the e-mail
address that I give out.

Who else has used this service regularly, including the forwarding? How
reliable have you found it?

Thank you,
Mike

Any number of sites are handled by servers which are/were located near/at
the World Trade Center in New York City. The effects of this tragedy are
far-reaching. I would give *any* site having problems the benefit of the
doubt and would be very patient.

I have used another unified messaging service called uReach for the
past year and have been very satisfied.

Unfortunately Onebox has been having this particular problem on and
off since July. I've just e-mailed their support team - again.

I bet they send you the same idiotic answer they give me--that they cannot
guarantee 100% perfection, since the Internet has many variables, blah,
blah, blah.

Of course, nothing in this world is perfect, but they should try to fix a
serious problem like that. I've gone back and forth with them many times on
it, and always get the same nothing answer.
