I'm sorry, you cannot convince me that 'xmail' is not some sort of 90s porn site. Particularly if you say it out loud.<p>Just _awful_ branding.
ipv6? no auto-spam for active and sane domestic smtp servers (pure IP|SPF)?<p>noscript/basic (x)html web interface (in order to give the finger to google)?
Is this exciting for people? I'm legitimately curious.<p>I mean more competition is generally always good outside of maybe natural monopolies, but I'm not really interested in having a Twitter email after the whole debacle.
