E-mails have formed a great part of our daily life and after all these years after the email came in and people started using it, it is hard to imagine a net without email.
OK, image life without net.They
both for the same structure.
MyRealBox.com is a email client, a email client which is similar to all the other email clients that have been floating around the web, but this has got something extra, something which makes it special and a likable portal for many of net users.
Hitting it hard
So what is myrealbox.com who found it and why?
Well myrealbox is an email service which is run by Novell Inc.It runs on the stable platform of Novell Netware.They like to call it net mail.
Myrealbox.com is a treat for the net user’s by the Novell Co-operation.They created it on a process of testing their products, but that people all around too can enjoy with them.
Digging it further
Myrealbox.com features both POP access and webmail access.For those who want more information let me tell you.
This means that you can access myrealbox either by your email client or by your browser.
POP is a excellent facility for those who have a computer at their place as you can download your mail and read it whenever you like.
Web-mail Interface
myrealbox.com according to me has the best web-mail interface as this one is highly customizable.
Really you can setup your own email box complete with your colors.
Just remember the hex code values and you can set you a mailbox just as you wanted it to be.
The only thing that cannot be changed is the text style.
POP3 access
POP(POST OFFICE PROTOCOL) is a type of protocol which helps you access the web-mail/your inbox by using a software program(your email client) and download them.
It has a extra added feature of allowing you delete the message from the server after you have downloaded the message.
The address for the myrealbox POP is pop3.myrealbox.com.Enter this in your incoming message server bar.
Then enter your username and password and then presto! your email client is configured.
The Speed
MRB according to me has the best download speed on the browser and also on the email client.I tried the site on a 33kbsp modem and the site was very fast as compared to the rediff.com which many claim to be fast.
The POP access download time was also great and the authentication was completed in 0.3 sec, which really beat the odds.
Security
Myrealbox is fast, it free and it’s even secure they provide you with Secure Socket Layer which ensure that the mail activity is carried out within your piracy.
The Downside
OK, ’’WITH THE GOOD COMES THE BAD AND THE BAD COMES THE GOOD’’, and myrealbox also has a few downsides.
Frequent Downtime - As already mentioned MRB is a testing platform for the Novell Inc and they always a experimenting new thing on the server, so they have to keep downtiming the server, but wait they do care about user as they notify their user’s about the downtime and also display a notice on the homepage about the dowtime timing.
Please don’t pick up any subscription as it opens a door for spam.So be careful.
Some features offered by the team really does not seem to work, you will notice only when you use it in advanced stage.
Extra Innings
MRB also comes with a address book which is a really great add-on for the good email facility they provide.The address is really easy to use.
The Final Verdict
MRB sure is a great free email-client program and sure really beats the odds when it comes simple email client.
Hotmail and all other may provide email access, but MRB provide really good service and the speed is very fast as compared to the other online sites.
The POP3 facility really proves to be a cherry on the cake and sure makes a dish.So eat it or LOG ON.
