Am I the only the person getting increasingly frustrated by the change to idnet webmail made last year that disconnects you every hour?  There's no warning - it just chops the link so if you are in mid-flow composing an email all you can do is copy paste what you've written and then log in again and start the email again. *Very* annoying. 

I haven't seen anybody else on here complain about it so maybe I'm the only person using it regularly.  I think I'm going to have to migrate my email elsewhere though because this is no longer usable.  Annoying as that will likely cost me a couple of hours for set up elsewhere. >:(

I'm a great believer in having an email address that's not specific to an ISP, not least in case I want to change ISPs. FWIW I find Fastmail very reliable, although I do use an email client.

Quite agree.  Ive been bitten by that one in the past! I have a domain name for my emails but I've been routing them into IdNet thus far as I have found their free webmail client perfectly acceptable up until this recent change.  I also use Thunderbird to periodically download for archiving.  Fastmail looks good, thanks for the tip, 50 bucks a year though to use a domain.  I was considering zoho which is free up to 5GB storage.

Yea, I went with a fastmail.fm address, which is $30. I have my own domain, so perhaps I should have forked out the extra!

You could have had your own .me.uk domain for about a fiver a year, including webmail, from Gandi.net.

I use Zoho and other than the occasional blip it works really well. Their webmail is fine too.

Runbox is excellent too. Based in Norway with its much stronger privacy laws, and with excellent English language support. On the few occasions I have needed to contact support they have always responded quickly and have been very helpful.
