Searching today I found
www.geekzone.co.nz

Also, winmacguy highlighted the topic very well toward the end of the thread
pressf1.pcworld.co.nz

From what I can understand under the new service (scheduled to start 20 Aug) you can download an email to, say, Outlook Express, but whilst before that email would no longer show in your webmail, now it can also stay in your webmail. This meant that if you were overseas and a member of your household downloaded an email then you could no longer view that email in webmail. As it understand it under the new service however you will be still able to view that email. Is this correct please ?

Not how I see it.
It says its a package, homepage and stuff included.

If you wanted your mail to stay on the server as well as being downloaded then you just ticked that option in your email program. Usually "leave a copy on server".

Used to be able to keep a copy on the Server as long as you wish but they have now shortened the time to 30 or 60 days (?)

Looks like they are re-introducing this service.

Hi pctek
What you say sounds hopeful - however I have scoured Outlook Express and cannot find this option. Particularly I have thoroughly checked tools/options.
Have also checked Xtra Webmail exhaustively !

Anyone know where to look ?

579761 2007-08-12 02:44:00 That is probably because Telecom sent me an email as I was replying to a post. I have a feeling that Gmail offers a better deal? winmacguy (3367)

579763 2007-08-12 06:11:00 CP from the Geekzone article:

"With the introduction of Yahoo!Xtra Bubble, the more than 600,000 Telecom internet subscribers will be moved from the Xtra email platform to a Yahoo! hosted service."

Not in my lifetime will it happen. Are Telecom/Xtra determined to get rid of their customers by treating them in such an arbitrary manner? There is not one of those 'web-based' services that I would use- even if they are free.

579765 2007-08-12 06:51:00 600,000 will be moved- I didn't read anything about choice. Shortcircuit (1666)
