| 1336024 | 2013-04-09 08:24:00 | Pfft! THe real spin from Xtra recently was the BS that they are keeping their Yahoo Xtra email service because their customers actually want it! What BS. To me having the email provision farmed out to whoever / whenever is the best reason to avoid Xtra. Like the Xtra MSN BS wasn't enough of a slap in the face? |

| 1336028 | 2013-04-09 10:30:00 | Same reason small businesses use FB or Wix as their ONLY website. Facebook is good for the social media side but you shouldn't really be trying to run your business off it! | The Error Guy (14052) | ||

Their customers do want to stick with Yahoo despite the problems. Until recently, everyone used pop3 & only left at most a couple of mb of email on the server, so your xtra email being farmed out to a different provider didn't matter. Now lots of Xtra customers use webmail or IMAP so Xtra changing from Yahoo to another provider would be a major hassle. |

| 1336032 | 2013-04-09 11:22:00 | Rubbish! Telecom would just need an appropriate migration strategy... If Telecom was smart enough to provide IMAP support through an Xtra subdomain then that would be true, but they didn't & now everything that supports IMAP uses imap.mail.yahoo.com for Xtra addresses & that will stop working if Xtra changes providers. It is only going to get worse as Windows 8 adoption increases. |
