ippimail - email with a conscience?
I've recently come across www.ippimail.com
It's a webmail provider which makes money via banner adds, where a percentace of the profits go to charity and Open Source projects (I'm sure some of these will be Free Software projects too).
Seemingly the use of this email would be an ethical alternative to providers such as Yahoo, Google and others.

You can still host your own email or get an account on a friend's server.

Hey Simon, welcome aboard. Now that you say this (and remind me of your project) I think I'll sign up and give it a go.
Thanks

Hi,
(Didn't get an email to say I had had a reply to my posting...)
Ippimail is maturing slowly. What do you think?
We need to get the word out about the project. Let me know your feedback.

I tried it and while I didn't send or recieve much email through it yet I've given the address to a friend that makes music to send me a track and it all went pretty good. There's quite a bit of space there for such stuff and I like it.
I think I'll continue using it at least as an alternative email address to my current one. So overall I like it so far.
Btw, to get notified of reply you can clikc on "subscribe post" on the first thread post.

Libervisco,
Good to hear that. I hope you'll come to use it more and more.
Don't forget that you can forward mail to another address, and keep a copy on the ippimail server as well if you want. We can even collect mail from most other accounts.
It's easy to switch to an ippimail account ;-)

Thanks for that pointer. I forgot about forwarding, though I'm not sure I'd want to do that since I'm getting quite a bit of spam on my current address which would also be forwarded to ippimail address. I'd rather like a fresh start so I'll probably just be giving the new ippimail address to people more than the old one (kind of a gradual switch process).
Thanks for a good service.

It's pretty simple to keep spambots from getting to you. Just never put your email address in cleartext (user@domain becomes user _a-t domain or user a|t domain).

Danijel,
A gradual change is probably a good idea...
Let us know how you get on with ippimail. We try our very hardest to be responsive when people have issues which need solving.
As long as we get feedback! :-) Our forums are a god place to speak up.
Thanks!

Got one. Username at blogname dot ippimail dot nospamplease dot com .
Perhaps we can cooperate some way? That advertising system is quite interesting...
